Jack was born in Provo, Utah on September 30, 1924. He graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1942. He graduated from Brigham Young University, with a brief intermission to enlist in World War II. While in pilot training he was nicknamed “Skeeter” and served as Lead Bombardier on a B-24. He flew 50 combat missions, narrowly surviving many. He was a recipient of the rare Distinguished Flying Cross. He remembered these years, and those he served with, fondly, often recounting his stories throughout his life. Jack grew up fly fishing and remained a pilot and avid golfer when he moved California where he spent seven decades. It was there he met and married his wife Ginny, raised his son and daughter, and built his business literally by his own hands. Having attended a screen printing equipment convention, he returned home and declared “I can build mine better” and he did; machining and welding the screen printing equipment in his garage. He supplied printed apparel to many companies including Pebble Beach, Apple Computers, First Interstate Bank, among others. Up until the age of 93 Jack remained very active, working on his house, cars, computers and helping others whenever they would ask. He loved God, his family, his church and his country, and was loved back by people of all generations. He was called “Uncle Jack” by his nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews. He laughed and smiled until the day he passed. He is survived by his sister, Claudia Knell Young, and her husband Joseph Young, his son Jim Knell, his daughter Janet Knell Kendrick, and her husband, Lee Kendrick; and their two sons Devin Kendrick and Dylan Kendrick. His brother, Lee Knell [BYH Class of 1944], a Provo architect, passed in 2006. He is now reunited with beloved wife Ginny who passed in 2016. His funeral will be held Saturday, May 25, 2019 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel at 114 S. 400 West at 10 AM in Orem, Utah.

Class of 1944. Lee Campbell Knell. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Lee Campbell Knell died March 5, 2006, 16 days before his 80th birthday. He was encircled by his wife, siblings, children and grandchildren at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center following a stroke. Lee was born March 21, 1926 in Provo, Utah to James Claudius Knell and Mazie Campbell Knell. "He might be envied by a king" for he was a faithful Mormon boy who read all the standard works of scripture before graduating from the BYU Junior High and Brigham Young High School. While still in his teens, Lee manifested considerable talent as a self-taught cartoonist and commercial artist. He was also a state tennis champion. Lee served as an enlisted man in the Navy during World War II and as an officer in the Korean Conflict. While in the service, Lee studied architecture with Louis I. Kahn at Arizona State University; he earned a B.A. in Math and Fine Arts from Brigham Young University and graduated with honors from the University of Utah with an MFA in Architecture. He worked in the Church Architect's office in 1960 and in private practice as Lee Knell and Associates until his retirement in 1999. Utah is peppered with public and private buildings that reflect his fusion of High Modernist and Japanese sensibilities. The youthful Elder Knell was called to preach the Gospel to the Japanese communities of Hawaii, then a part of the Central Pacific Mission. Lee later served as a High Councilor, as Bishop of the Pleasant View 6th Ward, as a Counselor in a Stake Presidency and as a Branch and District President at the Missionary Training Center. Funeral services were held Friday, March 10, 2006 in Provo, Utah. Lee is survived by his wife Jewell Cloward Knell; brother John J.

Class of 1894. Board of Trustees, 1921 to 1939. J. William Knight. J. Will was in school in Payson, Utah, until sixteen years of age, when his father, Jesse Knight, moved his family to Provo to receive the benefits of the Brigham Young Academy. Karl G. Maeser and George H. Brimhall frequently visited the Knight home in Payson, and "sold" education and the Academy to the growing family. In Provo, J. Will took several classes under Dr. Maeser, Benjamin Cluff and George H. Brimhall, but his major professor was Joseph B. Keeler in the Commercial Department. J. Will Knight graduated from the BYA high school program in 1894, having enjoyed the use of the new Education Building and its budding library. Source: Book, The Sons of Brigham, by T. Earl Pardoe, pp. 124-127. ~ ~ ~ ~ Board of Trustees, 1921 to 1939. Jesse William Knight [J. Will], the second son of Jesse and Amanda McEwan Knight, was born at Payson, Utah, August 20, 1874. His early life on the ranch made him acquainted with horses and farm life. He was trained along commercial lines at school. He filled a mission in England for the Church, traveled on the continent and returned home ready to take his share of the family responsibilities. He helped his father discover the mines and work them. He accompanied his brother Raymond, to Alberta to survey this country. Their impressions were so favorable that their father made large purchases of land which the boys returned to stock and manage. After Raymond was established he came here and built a home, taking an active part in building the community. J. William Knight was a spiritually-minded man and when the Church was organized in Raymond, he was chosen as the first bishop. A year or so later when the Stake was organized in 1903, President H. S. Allen chose him to be his counselor in the presidency. One 'old timer' said of Bishop Knight, "He was a fine man and everybody loved him. He couldn't be beat as a bishop. He was dignified and understanding in his calling, yet he was a good sport and wanted to be right in the middle of athletics of every kind. He could laugh as hard and have just as much fun as the next fellow." In 1907 the heavy responsibilites of his father's interests took him back to Utah where he became vice president of most of the Knight Investment Companies. In 1951, Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Knight returned to Raymond, Alberta, Canada, to renew their acquaintances and join in the Golden Jubilee of the town his illustrious father founded. ~ ~ ~ ~ Jesse William Knight was born on August 20, 1874, in Payson, Utah.

Jesse and Amanda Knight

Board of Trustees, 1901 to 1921. Honorary Alumnus of BYA/BYH. Jesse Knight was one of relatively few Mormon mining magnates in the West. Poor throughout his youth, he was handsomely rewarded for his diligence as a prospector with the discovery of the famous Humbug mine in the Tintic Mining District near Eureka, Utah, in 1886. As the Humbug proved profitable, he acquired other mines in the vicinity, including the Uncle Sam, Beck Tunnel, Iron Blossom, and Colorado. Knight is significant in western mining and entrepreneurial history because in several important ways he differed from the typical "robber baron" capitalists of the late-nineteenth-century Gilded Age. His success, like theirs, depended upon the skillful acquisition and management of such business variables as claims, labor, capital, technology, and government services, and also upon the development of cost-efficient integrated enterprises, such as the Knight Investment Company. However, he also owned more patented mining claims in the Intermountain West than did his Gentile counterparts, and he was not inclined to engage in stock manipulation like many other mining entrepreneurs and railroad barons. Moreover, his business methods, especially when dealing with his working men, were far more paternalistic and benevolent than those of the typical big businessmen of the era. While other company town and mine owners often exploited their workers, Knight treated his workers very fairly in his company town of Knightville, Utah, which he equipped with a meetinghouse, amusement hall, and school instead of the usual hedonistic establishments of mining camp life. Although his philanthropy was not unique for the period, his generous gifts to Brigham Young University (an interest he shared with his wife, Amanda) earned him the reputation as the "patron saint" of BYU. He also gave freely to the Mormon Church and to many church-related projects, thereby revealing a kindly, religiously motivated disposition. Furthermore, his comfortable but unostentatious home in Provo, Utah, did not rival the extravagantly garish mansions built by big businessmen from San Francisco's Nob Hill to New York's Fifth Avenue. Nor did he seek high political office like mining kings George Hearst, James Fair, William Sharon, John P. Jones, Nathaniel Hill, Jerome Chaffee, Horace Tabor, William Clark, or Utah's Thomas Kearns--all of whom served in the "millionaire's club" of the United States Senate. Essentially more sensitive and modest than most business leaders during this age of ruthless capitalism and conspicuous consumption, he probably deserved the endearing nickname of "Uncle Jesse"--a rich but giving uncle. In fact, he believed that his money was for the purpose of doing good and building up his church; he regarded the matter as a "trusted stewardship." As he once said, "The earth is the Lord's bank, and no man has a right to take money out of that bank and use it extravagantly upon himself." Few nabobs of the era would have been willing to make that statement. Although he strayed from the Mormon Church in his early years and briefly affiliated with the anti-Mormon Liberal party in Utah, one must assume that his otherwise devout faith helped prevent him from falling prey to the capitalistic corruption and self-indulgent excesses so tempting and common to the business leaders of the Gilded Age and the western mining industry. Jesse Knight might not have been the only Mormon mining magnate in Utah, but he left a mark on his church and upon the educational and industrial development of the state. In 1960 BYU honored Knight's memory by naming the business building (now the humanities building) after him. Yet few students today are aware that the building's namesake possessed what former BYU administrator Herald R. Clark called a "magnificent obsession with helpfulness" (Gary Fuller Reese,"Uncle Jesse": The Story of Jesse Knight, Miner, Industrialist, Philanthropist[Provo: BYU master's thesis, 1961], p. 65). In addition to his support for BYU, Knight also provided generous and much-needed financial support for the LDS Church. Knight's early life had been punctuated by poverty. He was born in Nauvoo on September 6, 1845, the sixth child of Newell and Lydia Knight. The Knights joined the western exodus in late 1846, but Newell made it only as far as Nebraska, where he died in January 1847. Lydia, pregnant with their seventh child, joined other pioneers at Winter Quarters. The family reached the Salt Lake Valley in 1850. As a child, Knight gathered pigweed and sego lily roots to augment the family food supply. By age 11 he was hauling firewood with a team of oxen. Over the next dozen years, Knight held a range of jobs: teamster, logger, scout and guide, railroad worker, member of a cavalry, rancher, cattle buyer, trader, and miner. At some point during those years he lost interest in the LDS Church, although he married Amanda McEwan, an active Latter-day Saint, in 1869. Then in 1887 an experience forever changed his commitment to the Church. A rat fell in the family well, died, and decomposed. Jennie, his youngest daughter, was the first to become ill from drinking the contaminated water. Despite his professed lack of faith, Knight was finally persuaded to bring in elders to give her a blessing, and Jennie recovered, something he always considered miraculous. His oldest daughter Minnie, however, died of the infection, and he remembered that 17 years earlier she had nearly died of diphtheria. At that time Knight had promised that he would not forget God if the Lord would spare Minnie's life. As he described it, "I had not kept that promise. . . . I prayed for forgiveness and help. My prayer was answered and I received a testimony" (J. William Knight, The Jesse Knight Family[Salt Lake City: Deseret News Press, 1940], pp. 35–36). The family then lived in Payson, Utah, about 25 miles from the Tintic mining district. While visiting the district one day, Knight sat under a tree on Godiva Mountain and heard a voice that told him, "This country is here for the Mormons." He always remembered the voice and interpreted it to mean that the wealth of the land was meant to assist the Latter-day Saints. Not long afterward, Knight staked his first mining claim, which he sold in 1890 for $14,000. This provided funds to move his family to Provo. According to Diane L. Mangum, whose story about Jesse Knight appeared in the October 1993 Ensign, "Always generous, Jesse became even more open-handed with his newfound prosperity. He offered help to everyone who asked, and often cosigned on loans for them. More often than not, Jesse was left to repay the debts. His money and credit slipped away, and he even had to mortgage the home he had built in Provo." Knight had a natural instinct about land. He returned to Godiva Mountain, located some promising limestone outcrops, and decided to stake a mining claim there. He then visited his brother-in-law Jared Roundy and offered him a share in the stake. But Roundy declined, calling the claim a "damned old humbug." Knight secured a loan and dubbed the mine "Humbug." It turned out to be one of the richest lead-silver deposits ever found in the West. It wasn't long before his wealth was used to aid BYU. Although not well educated himself, Knight had sent several of his children to Brigham Young Academy and had observed firsthand the school's financial struggles. In 1901 Knight accepted an invitation to join the board of Brigham Young Academy, and he later became a member of the executive committee. For the next 20 years, he donated land, bonds, irrigation shares, and money to assist the university. The Knight family funded half of the $130,000 needed to build the Karl G. Maeser Building, and when more money was needed Knight bought back, for $20,000, the Blue Bench Irrigation bonds he had donated to the school. In later years, the Jesse Knight Endowment funded the construction of Amanda Knight Hall and Allen Hall. The Knight-Mangum Building was named for Knight's daughter and daughter-in-law, who followed his example of generosity to BYU.

BYH Class of 1960 ~ Honorary. Newell Boyd Knight. Newell is a great-grandson of Jesse Knight, often known as “Uncle Jesse” who was known as one of the the "patron saints” of Brigham Young Academy and BYU because of his major contributions in cash and wisdom. "I attended BY High and I am writing a detailed book about the history of Jesse Knight. The stories on the BYH website bring back memories of the girls I wanted to date but was to shy to pursue. For the record, Richard "Dick" Knight, who graduated in the BYH Class of 1954, is my older brother. Stan Knight, BYH Class of 1956, is also my older brother. I attended BY High in the 8th, 9th and 10th grades, and made the mistake of transferring to the new Provo High in 1958 when a lot of my associates jumped ship. I am in the BYH yearbook of 1957. I was active in the Ski Club. Some of the BYH teachers who tried to educate me were Don McConkie, Faye Buttle, Anna Boss Hart, Fred Webb and Julia Cain. Memories: I recall getting a cheap hamburger for lunch at the dairy across the street. On one occasion while waiting for a burger a headless chicken came running out of the back room. I am not sure why they were butchering chickens at the dairy but it was entertaining. Sherm Anderson was one you could count on for a laugh in and out of class. Clifford Pierpont refused to dance when we all lined up at Room 250A for forced dance instruction. When I was in the tenth grade the only person in the school as short as me was Billy Mitchel, who was in the 7th grade. Beside being short I looked about like a grade school student. The girls used to tell me how cute I was, then added that they would like to date me when I grew up. To a struggling early teen I didn’t think that was a compliment. But when I finally grew up I was even better looking and it was fun to see the same girls looking a lot older and I still had my youth and could date younger girls who did not suspect my real age. I did in fact marry a darling farm girl who was 8 years younger than me. Kathy and I are still married after 50 years, with six kids and 17 grandkids. The book I am writing about Jesse Knight will be far more detailed than anything that has ever been published. There have been numerous papers published about “Uncle Jesse” and the BYU library has hundreds of papers from his businesses. The difference in my book will be the stories I can tell about exploring some of his mines as a youth and a lot of documents never seen by anyone outside the family. I hope to get the book published by the end of the year. The story of Jesse Knight is not just a story about Jesse, but a history of Provo at the turn of the century." @ August 2019

Henry Aldous Dixon, President of Utah State Agricultural College, Augugust 1953 to December 1954. Lucile Knowlden was born in Provo on Dec. 9, 1891. Her father was Robert Edwin Knowlden; her mother, Mable Twelves. Lucile grew up in Provo, attended the Maeser School, Brigham Young University High School, and received her normal degree from Brigham Young University. Lucille married Henry Aldous Dixon on June 2, 1915 in Salt Lake City. She taught for two years at the Timpanogos School before her marriage. The Dixons had four daughters and two sons. Before becoming president of USU, Henry had been superintendent of schools in Provo and President of Weber Junior College from 1920-1924 and 1932-1937, then president of Weber State College from 1937 until 1953. He left the presidency of USU after being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives to the Eighty-fourth, Eighty-fifth, and Eighty-sixth Congresses (January 3, 1955 to January 3, 1961). The Dixons lived in Washington, D.C. for six years before returning to Ogden. Lucile was active in the LDS Church. She was president and a member of the board of directors for the Children's Aid Society, a member of the Acacia Club, and Children's Hour Club. She served as president of Weber College Faculty Women and was a charter member of the Nelke Reading Club of Provo. Lucile loved gardening, growing plants indoors and out. She especially enjoyed African violets and while she lived on campus the university horticulture group regularly brought her fresh flowers. In gathering information for her book on the president's house, Alice Chase learned from Mrs. Dixon that her "heart sank at the prospect of moving into" the president's home. The Dixon's had at that time a new house in Ogden. The president's house had purportedly been neglected and the trustees decided to "recondition" the house rather than build a new house. Despite her initial impressions, Lucile told Alice that "living there proved to be a delightful experience." Lucile Knowlden Dixon died on Dec. 13, 1986 in Ogden. She was 95 years old.
