Roy A. Welker. He received an MA Degree in 1926. Source: Annual Record, B.Y. University, Book 7, page 290. ~ ~ ~ ~ BIOGRAPHY: Roy A. Welker. The man who devotes his life to the scholastic training of youth must of necessity be possessed of many qualities not essential in other callings. A first class education, an infinite capacity for taking pains with pupils, a large stock of tact and patience, may be enumerated as among the qualifications necessary to success and these are visible in the daily school life of Roy A. Welker, principal of the Fielding Academy at Paris Idaho. He was born at Bloomington, Bear Lake County, the state of Idaho in November 1878, a son of Adam Welker and Clara Osmond Welker, natives of Utah. The parents removed to Bear Lake County, Idaho in 1864, and Adam Welker took up a tract of land at Bloomington which he immediately set about improving and preparing for cultivation. In the course of time he came to be recognized as one of the most progressive farmers in that part of the state, and he has since continued to operate his land in Bloomington, being now one of the few survivors of an early day in that neighborhood. He has ever been an active and zealous member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has always been interested in its good works. The mother is still living. Roy A. Welker was reared in Bear Lake County and received his early education in its schools. Later he attended the Agricultural College at Logan Utah for two years, and spent two summers at the University of Utah, finishing at Brigham Young University at Provo, Utah, from which he was graduated with the Class of 1913. For seven years prior to his graduation, Mr. Welker had been teaching in the Fielding Academy, and since his graduation has also taught in the same institution, making fourteen years in all. During the last five years he has been Principal. He enjoys the confidence of the patrons of the school and is justly regarded as one of the most advanced teachers in his part of the state. On June 7, 1906, Mr. Welker was united in marriage to Lizzie Hoge, a daughter of Walter Hoge and Amelia Hoge, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Mr. and Mrs. Welker have become the parents of seven children as follows: Garreth, the first born, who died in March 1907; Roi H.; Maurine; Ella; Ruth; Rhoda; and Margaret. Mr. Welker is an active member of the Mormon Church and in 1900 was called to fill a mission in Germany on its behalf, returning to this country in 1903. He is now second counselor to the stake president, William L. Rich, and he has held numerous other church offices. Politically he is a supporter of the Republican party. He served on the Paris City Council for one term, and in other directions has given of his time and ability to advance all projects calculated to serve the social and cultural activities of the community in which he resides.

Clarke Publishing Company, Volume IV, 1920.] ~ ~ ~ ~ Roy Anson Welker was born on November 9, 1878 in Bloomington, Bear Lake County, Idaho. His parents were Adam Pugh Welker and Clara Osmond Welker. Roy married Elizabeteh Hoge on June 7, 1906. Roy A. Welker died on November 28, 1973 in Logan, Utah.

Franklin & Violet West

Board of Trustees, 1939 to 1953. Dr. Franklin L. West was a physics professor and dean of the faculty for 28 years at the Agricultural College (now Utah State University). In l934 he was called by President Heber J. Grant to be the Church Commissioner of Education, a position he held until he retired 18 years later. He authored five books. Three are texts for use in the seminaries of the Church: Discovering the Old Testament, Jesus, His Life and Teachings, and The Apostles and the Early Church. His Sunday evening radio addresses were compiled into the book, The Fruits of Religion. He also wrote a biography of his grandfather, Franklin Dewey Richards. Franklin L. West grew up in Ogden, Utah next door to his grandparents, President of the Quorum of the Twelve, Franklin D. Richards and Jane Snyder Richards. The Richards were intimately acquainted with the Prophet Joseph Smith. He was particularly impressed by his gallant ninety-eight pound grandmother who drove her own wagon team during the exodus from Nauvoo because her husband was on a mission. She was the quintessential pioneer woman and her tragic journey to Winter Quarters has been the basis of Sesquicentennial plays in Iowa and in the documentary, "Trail of Hope" where her words, "I only lived because I could not die" represented the courageous spirit of the pioneers. Her words are still inspiring to her descendants whenever they begin to lose heart. Franklin L. West married Violet Madson, who was nurtured by the entire Danish immigrant community in Brigham City, Utah. Everyone was Cousin This and Uncle That. She was known as the most beautiful girl in Box Elder County, and she caught the eye of Franklin West at the annual Peach Day Celebration. She was as beautiful inside as out, and was a wonderful mother to their four children. ~ ~ ~ ~ Franklin Lorenzo Richards West was born February 1, 1885 in Ogden, Utah. His parents are Joseph Alva West and Josephine Richards West. He married three times: First, Gladys Spencer on August 19, 1904 -- later divorced. Second, Violet Madsen. Third, Mrs. Sarah Frances Nelson Malmborg. He died October 21, 1966 in Cottonwood, Salt Lake County, Utah. Interment, Logan, Cache County, Utah.
