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.

Frank and Sarah Knowlton

Class of 1884? Benjamin F. Knowlton, Jr.'s wife, Sarah Lavina Clark, grew up a spirited, self-reliant, happy, talented young lady who enjoyed her home life, acquired many domestic skills and intellectual interests, and was held in high esteem by the young people of Farmington. Following in the footsteps of several brothers and sisters, Sarah, at the age of 17, had enrolled at Brigham Young Academy, Provo, Utah, leaving her family for the first time. She attended the school from 1883 to 1884. Besides enjoying the stimulating intellectual and social life at the academy, she met and fell in love with a fellow student, Benjamin Franklin Knowlton Jr. who came from quite a different social environment. They were married in the Logan Temple on April 14, 1886. Although the Benjamin Franklin Knowltons were living in Farmington at this time, they had recently moved from the ranch known as Delle in Skull Valley. Frank, having lost his mother Rhoda Richards Knowlton at the age of 16, grew up among cowmen and frontiersmen whose moral codes and personal behavior patterns differed sharply from those of the Mormon people in Farmington. Frank's father, Benjamin Franklin Knowlton, spent most of his life in the saddle as a rancher, scout and frontiersman. He played an active and courageous role in the Mormon Militia during the Utah War. Settling in Skull Valley to ranch with his older brothers George Washington and John Quincy Knowlton, his family experienced the harsh, primitive, frontier conditions of life on the isolated Skull Valley frontier with few of the cultural, religious or social opportunities common to Farmington. For the first few years of their married life, they lived in Grantsville, Utah. As the ranching business did not prosper, they moved back to Farmington, taking up residence in a house north of the Knowlton farm. Frank farmed and worked at various jobs in and around Farmington without much success. Discouraged by his economic difficulties and the continued deterioration of his relationship with his father, he concluded in 1900 to leave his wife and seven children and try his luck in the Philippine Islands. The American Government was then recruiting American workers for construction projects in the newly-acquired islands. Until 1902, Frank regularly sent home money to support his family. Then without any explanation, the money ceased to arrive. The family was thrown suddenly upon its own resources. After the sudden death of her mother in 1902, Sarah moved her family into her mother's home to live with Laura and Horace, who had not yet married. By taking in boarders and through the labor of family members and some assistance from relatives, the Knowlton family managed to survive. My father and his brother Richard often worked on farms far from home during the summer months, often receiving harsh treatment and minimal wages. As each of the children matured, they were forced to seek employment to sustain the family. Those years were difficult ones for Sarah Clark Knowlton and her family. Although Sarah and her children were active in the Farmington Ward, rumors of Frank's misconduct in the Philippine Islands spread through Farmington in the 1900's, damaging the family's social position in the community. Not hearing from her husband, Sarah secured an uncontested divorce in 1905.

Martha Jane & Howard Coray

Board of Trustees, Brigham Young Academy, 1875 to 1882. Martha Jane Knowlton Coray. In the 1870s when Brigham Young envisioned a school combining sacred and secular learning, he selected several educated Saints to lay its foundations. Among those asked to contribute was Martha Jane Knowlton Coray. Martha Jane was born in Kentucky in 1821 to Sidney Algernon and Harriet Burnham Knowlton. The family later moved to Illinois, where in 1840 they heard George A. Smith preach the gospel. Martha led the family in baptism. Her great admiration for the Prophet was later described by her husband, Howard Coray, who wrote, "I have frequently heard her say, that [the Prophet] was the greatest miracle to her she had ever seen; and that she valued her acquaintance with him above everything else." Howard also recorded his first impression of Martha: "I discovered at once that she was ready, off hand, and inclined to be witty; also, that her mind took a wider range than was common for young ladies of her age." The two were married on Feb. 6, 1841. After Howard worked as a clerk for the Prophet, the couple began to teach school in Nauvoo. In January 1846 they received their endowments in the Nauvoo Temple, leaving the city with the Saints that same year. To earn money for the trip to Utah, the couple worked for several years in Iowa, where Howard farmed and Martha tended a ferry. They entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1850. Their daughter, Martha Lewis, recalls her mother's sharp wit during the journey in the following memoir: The gold rush to California was on and many curious people came by asking dozens of annoying questions. One time a man came up to mother with curiosity written on his face, but before he could say anything, she started out rapidly with "I'm David Crockett's aunt. I came from the East and I'm going to the West. I think that man over there died with the small pox." This seemed to suffice his curiosity, for he walked away and without a word. I suppose he wondered what was the matter with mother. Once in Utah, Howard worked as a tithing clerk in Salt Lake City before they moved to Provo in 1857. When her husband homesteaded a ranch in Mona, Juab County, in 1871, Martha continued to reside in Provo in order to fulfill her commitments to the community. She participated in Church activities, including Sunday School and Relief Society functions, and wrote for the Woman's Exponent. She distilled herbs and liniments, marketing her products from Nephi to Ogden. Although most of her products had medicinal value, Martha also produced "Lightning Cage Oil," reputed to be stronger than Hartshorn. A slight whiff would render any assailant helpless, gasping for breath. She held the power of attorney for several court matters, and her journal entries and letters demonstrate her knowledge of the law. Martha's journal also records the commitment she had to the education and personal improvement of her 12 children. She wrote of their progress: "All are studying very hard at arithmetic, every leisure hour. Donny read 6 pages and finished his book. Will and Sid began to study; got 5 parts of speech." And she continued to improve her own mind, writing, "Nellie and George came from the city and brought my books, Walter Scott and Herodotus." As a teacher, Martha often faced the frustrations created by a lack of stability, tuition collection, and a general indifference of the public to education. Financial difficulties also plagued her as she served on the Board of Trustees at Brigham Young Academy. In an editorial published by George Q. Cannon, she complained about the lack of support given to the academy, stating that the school was struggling to accomplish the "greatest good with the smallest means" and that its success was due mainly to an "unflinching trust in God." She finished with a call to "Israel" to pay more attention to how close principles of "faith, honor and a deep desire for general intelligence cling to the scholar even after leaving Brigham Young Academy." Despite these trials, Martha continued to champion educational causes throughout her life. In a letter to Brigham Young, she asked, "Does not the deed require the sacred book mentioned to be taken up as a study in the same way as the sciences mentioned?" She further wrote, "My principle of education has been -- God's laws of religion first -- Man's laws of honor and morality second -- Science of every attainable kind and as much as possible but lastly in forming a permanent base for character and hope of future salvation." The Woman's Exponent eulogized Martha with these words: Very early in life she evinced a character in a degree somewhat rare for one of her sex--that is, of decidedly doing her own thinking; hence, before adopting any principle of religion, law, or politics, whether proposed by father, husband, priest, or king, she must clearly see and understand for herself the righteousness and consistency of the matter. ~~~~ This article is part of an honors thesis written by Amy Reynolds, who graduated from BYU in December 1997. ~~~~ Daughter Mary Coray Roberts was born in 1848 at Winter Quarters, Nebraska, the daughter of Howard and Martha Jane Knowlton Coray. Her family migrated to Utah with the Mormon pioneers in 1850. Her family moved from Salt Lake City to Provo, Utah, ca. 1857. Her mother, Martha Jane Knowleton Coray served on the board of Brigham Young Academy. Orville Clark Roberts was born in 1833, son of Dr. Daniel and Eliza Aldula Clark of Keokuk, Iowa. In 1850, he migrated to Utah with the Mormon pioneers. Mary Coray and Clark Roberts were married in 1868 at Provo, Utah. They had nine children. The family made their first home at Mona, Juab County, Utah, moved to Moncos, Colorado, ca. 1881, and to Jackson, New Mexico, in 1891. After their children were married, Mary and Clark went to live near at daughter at San Diego, California. Clark died there in 1912. Mary returned to Utah to live with a daughter and died at Vernal, Utah, in 1923.

Bright and lucid to the end of her mortal probation, Farel Kimball was known and loved by all with whom she came in contact. Born November 22, 1906, Farel's life was filled with the joy of living. She and her husband Royal enjoyed many wonderful years together in Central and Southern Utah before moving to Salt Lake City in 1935. Farel's social activities included wide-ranging participation in social clubs, dance groups, BYU alumni activities and, most enjoyable of all, the many traveling opportunities that took her to all parts of the world. She loved to be involved with family, social interaction and travel. Last week she enjoyed the warm sand of Puerto Vallarta with her family. Some of Farel Kimball's fondest memories were of her constant activity in the church. She served in Primary, Young Women and Relief Society presidencies throughout her life, serving as president in several different wards in Utah and California. Farel enjoyed playing her organ at home and was ward organist in several different wards. She loved good music, cultivated the arts, and encouraged her family to do the same. She was firmly committed to the good that cultural arts would provide for the human spirit. Farel Knudson married Royal Reward Chamberlain, June 4, 1925. Royal passed away in 1951. After many lonely years, Farel married Harold I. Bowman, in 1960. Their happy life together included many enjoyable trips to Harold's Jacob Lake Resort in Arizona. After Harold passed away, Farel was courted by long-time friend and team mate of Royal, Eddie Kimball. Their life together included a whole new circle of friends whom she dearly loved and an exciting circle of social activities centered around BYU. After Eddie's passing, Farel looked forward with great anticipation to her reunion with Royal. Farel is survived by four sons and two daughters, Dr. Cloyd R. Chamberlain, San Jose, California; F. Wayne Chamberlain, Salt Lake City, Utah; S. Bryce Chamberlain and K. Douglas Chamberlain, both of Orem, Utah; Renee Dyer and Maryetta Farrer, both of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following high school, Kris studied psychology and family sciences at Brigham Young University. In 1964 Kris married her eternal companion, Newton Warnick Andrus, in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Newt was a man who loved to see and understand the world, loved his family, and lived the gospel of Jesus Christ. Newt was born July 3, 1942, in Provo, Utah, to Albert LaMar and Erma Warnick Andrus. At the time of his birth, his father was serving in the Army in World War II. Newt grew up in Provo and attended Brigham Young Training School, Maeser and Joaquin Elementary Schools, and Farrer Junior High. He was active in the Boy Scouts, earning his Eagle Scout and Silver Explorer awards. Newt attended Provo High School and graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1960. He played clarinet in the band, played baseball and football, was a student body officer, and attended Boys State. Following graduation from high school in 1960, Newt enrolled at Brigham Young University. Newt served in the Hawaii Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1961 to 1963. His mission instigated in him a lifelong love of the Hawaiian islands and Polynesian culture. He married Kristine Knudsen, his high-school sweetheart, on June 17, 1964, in the Salt Lake Temple. She graduated from BY High School in the Class of 1962. Newt graduated from BYU in 1967 with a bachelor’s degree in geography. Newt and Kris then moved to North Carolina, where Newt graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Master’s of Regional Planning. During this time, their first child, Samuel, was born. From 1969 to 1978, the family lived in Oregon, where Newt worked as a city and urban planner for the Port of Portland. During their time in Oregon, Newt also served as a bishop, and the rest of their children were born: Scott “Andy,” Amy, and Jonathan. In 1978, the family returned to Provo, where Newt worked with his father-in-law, Wes Knudsen, managing video arcade games, vending machines, and kiddie rides. In 1989, Newt began working at WordPerfect as the purchasing manager and retired in 2003 as Novell’s Vice President of Real Estate and Facilities. Newt served faithfully as a bishop of a family ward and two young single adult wards, a temple worker, a high council member, and a Young Men’s leader. Together Newt and Kris served as employment specialist missionaries in Washington D.C., and as facilitators in the Addiction Recovery Program at BYU. Newt also served a family history service mission and loved doing genealogy. Newt and Kris loved to travel. They took trips all over the world together and enjoyed organizing family trips to Disneyland, Hawaii, the Oregon Coast, Jackson Hole, and Church history sites. Newt loved his family and often expressed his desire that they remain close. He supported them in all their endeavors, taught them correct principles and service through his example, and helped them explore the world. He had a strong and enduring testimony of his Savior, Jesus Christ. He is loved and will be missed. He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert LaMar Andrus and Erma Warnick Andrus, and by his wife, Kristine Knudsen Andrus. He is survived by his brother Joseph (Holly) Andrus; his children Samuel (Amy) Andrus, Scott “Andy” (Christian) Andrus, Amy (Brooks) Snow, and Jonathan; and by his grandchildren Olivia, Isabel, Caleb, Benjamin, Henry, William, Dylan, Phineas, and Seth Andrus, and Kolby, Bryson, and Claire Snow.
