Warren & Adelaide Dusenberry

Faculty & Staff. Warren N. Dusenberry. First Principal of BY Academy from fall of 1875 until he resigned in spring of 1876. Dusenberry, Warren Newton (1836-1915) -- also known as Warren N. Dusenberry -- of Provo, Utah County, Utah. Born in 1836. Mayor of Provo, Utah, 1892-93. Died in 1915. The founding of Brigham Young Academy in Provo rather than Salt Lake City was undoubtedly due to the educational endeavors of Warren and Wilson Dusenberry. They had founded two schools, both of which were eminently successful, even though they were financially unstable. Warren was first principal of the Timpanogos Branch of the University of Deseret, which later became the University of Utah. The Provo branch had to close because of lack of financial support by the parent institution. Because of his educational experience it was only natural that Warren was chosen as the first principal of BYA, although he made it clear that he would only serve until a permanent principal was appointed. He preferred to go into the practice of law, where he would not have to push wheelbarrows around to collect produce for tuition. He preferred the tumult and the controversy of the law with its financial security to the peace of education with its financial uncertainty. After serving as principal only a few months, Brigham Young's hand-picked choice for principal, Karl G. Maeser, arrived as his successor. ~ ~ ~ ~ Warren Newton Dusenberry was born on November 1, 1836 in Whitehaven, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania [or Easton, Northhampton, Pennsylvania]. His parents were Mahlon Dusenberry and Aurilla Coray Dusenberry. He married Adelaide Elizabeth Webb on June 18, 1865 in Payson, Utah. She was born on April 11, 1845 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Pardon Knapp Webb and Clarissa Jane Lee. He died in 1915. ~ ~ ~ ~ Warren Newton Dusenberry Born November 1, 1836 White Haven, Pennsylvania Died March 31, 1915 (aged 78) Warren Newton Dusenberry (November 1, 1836 – March 31, 1915) was the founding principal of Brigham Young Academy in 1876. Dusenberry was only a temporary principal. He also served as County Judge of Utah County and mayor of Provo. Prior to serving as principal of Brigham Young Academy, Dusenberry had been the president of the short-lived Timpanogos Branch of the University of Deseret. Dusenberry was born in White Haven, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. In 1840 he moved with his parents to Pike County, Illinois. Shortly after this his mother joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but his father did not. Due to this, when the majority of the Latter Day Saints moved to Utah the Dusenberry family remained in Illinois. In 1860, they moved to Los Angeles, California and in 1862 Dusenberry moved with his mother, brother Wilson Dusenberry, and two sisters to Provo, Utah Territory, leaving his father and one brother behind in California. Dusenberry worked as a school teacher and merchant in Provo. He also was baptized a member of the LDS Church. In 1867, he went on a mission to the Southern States. From 1870 to 1875 he was head of the University of Deseret's Timpanogos Branch. After being principal of Brigham Young Academy, Dusenberry became the Utah County Prosecutor and the Provo City Attorney. In 1892 Dusenberry was elected mayor of Provo, defeating Reed Smoot.

Elbert and Margaret Eastmond

Faculty & Staff. Elbert H. Eastmond, Art teacher, 1902-1936 -- until his death. ~ ~ ~ ~ Elbert Hindley Eastmond was born on June 1, 1876, the year Brigham Young Academy began, in American Fork, Utah. His parents were Thomas Jefferson Eastmond and Esther Jane Hindley. He married Margaret Craig Hull on April 2, 1913 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He died on August 17, 1936 in Provo, Utah. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. ~ ~ ~ ~ They had at least two children: Thomas Hull Eastmond, born March 12, 1914 in Provo, Utah [BYH Class of 1931]; and Elbert John (Jack) Eastmond, Sr., born July 6, 1915 in San Francisco, CA [BYH Class of 1933]. ~ ~ ~ ~ MAY DAY: May Day celebrations were popular in early Utah. A large percentage of the people living here were born in foreign countries. According to the Utah Atlas, Utah's foreign-born inhabitants in 1870 made up over half of the adult population. In 1880, almost 60 percent of the people in the territory over 20 years of age and nearly 70 percent of those over 30 were born outside of the United States. Most of Utah's foreign-born people came from Scandinavia and England where May Day festivities were popular. Consequently, in Utah, the tradition of erecting a Maypole and braiding it with ribbon remained strong for many years. In Utah Valley, braiding the Maypole probably reached the pinnacle of its popularity in the 1920s. May Day festivities were so prevalent during that era that in 1921, BYH/BYU professor Elbert H. Eastmond wrote a May Day pageant called "A Tribute of Gladness." A full-page article in the Deseret News provided a list of characters, script, and detailed instructions on the music, costumes and sets for this May Day extravaganza. Eastmond's pageant portrayed the arrival of spring with dancing flowers and waving trees. Then the May Day procession arrived with the Jacks of the Green carrying the Maypole, which they soon set up. At this point, the Lord of May escorted the Lady of May to a throne where she was crowned Queen of the May, and the newly crowned monarch watched dancers plait the Maypole. After the dance came to a conclusion, children carrying flower crowns appeared. They placed these crowns upon the heads of the grandmothers and grandfathers in the audience and escorted the old people to seats of honor in specially decorated chairs. To conclude the pageant, the audience joined the cast in singing "Count Your Many Blessings," and a guest offered the benediction. May dances performed on schoolyards were not usually as elaborate as this pageant, although in the 1920s, Provo's elementary schools united to stage several fairly credible productions. On the morning of May 23, 1921, the same year that professor Eastmond wrote his pageant, students from Provo's five elementary schools converged upon downtown Provo and staged an intricate May dance. (Notice that these dances were not always performed on May 1.) For the occasion, each school selected a Queen of May and two attendants. The queens in 1921 were Marie Olson, Parker School; Mamie Bell, Central; Norma Sutton, Maeser; Vilet Cox, Timpanogos; and Daisy Fail, Franklin. These queens received flower crowns on the day of the performance and witnessed the dances from a seat of honor.

Faculty & Staff. Ferris Edgley, Music teacher, 1936-1937. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Pocatello - Farris Leo Edgley returned home to his Father in Heaven on May 5, 2008. He was 94 years old. He was born on May 17, 1913, in Pocatello, Idaho, to Leo H. Edgley and Ethel Harrison Edgley. He attended Whittier and Washington elementary schools, Franklin Junior High and Pocatello High School. Throughout his years in high school and college he was active in music and drama. After graduation from High School in 1931, he attended the University of Idaho Southern Branch (now Idaho State University) and graduated with a certificate in education. He later attended Brigham Young University and received his B.A. degree in music education. He taught music first at Grace, Idaho Elementary School, then Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah, and Carbon High School and Carbon College in Price, Utah. In 1942-45, during World War II, he was drafted into the Army. He served his country in England and North Africa as a chaplain's assistant and helped the Army with religious and music services for the troops. After his discharge, he attended Columbia University in New York City and earned his masters' degree in music education. He then went back to teaching music in Pocatello at Franklin Junior High and Pocatello High School. He eventually retired in 1978, as the music administrator for Pocatello School District No. 25. Farris had an outstanding tenor voice and was an accomplished pianist and organist. In his spare time, he organized and conducted many choirs in schools, churches, and the community including The Ambassadors male chorus, the LaDonna Singers and The Camerata Singers. Throughout his life, as a member of the LDS Church he served as choir director, organist, pianist, and as a member of the Alameda Stake High Council. He organized and conducted many music programs for the church including the annual Highland Stake "Messiah" Sing-In for more than 15 years. After retirement, he volunteered in many local schools to teach music and direct musical productions. He also volunteered his musical talents to local retirement homes. Farris married Geraldine Petersen on June 15, 1963, in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. They resided in Pocatello, where they raised their two children, Eric and Carol. In their later years, Farris and Gerry traveled extensively to England, Scotland, Hawaii, Alaska, the Caribbean, and throughout most of the U.S. Farris also thoroughly enjoyed gardening, oil painting, and most of all, listening to good music and sharing his talents with everyone. During his teaching career he received numerous awards for his talents and service including the Idaho Music Educator of the Year (1971) Award, State of Idaho Certificate of Recognition, State of Idaho Retired Teachers Hall of Fame, Idaho High School Activities Association Award for Distinguished Service, the National Community Service Award from the AARP, and the Community Service through Musical Excellence Award from the Pocatello Music Club. In 2005, Farris and Gerry moved to Salt Lake City to be near their children and grandchildren. Farris will be remembered most for his love for his family and for his exceptional musical talents that he shared freely with them, his church, and the community. Farris is survived by his wife, Gerry; daughter, Carol (Jeffery) Mecham of Kearns, Utah; and son, Eric (Michele) of Kaysville, Utah; and six grandchildren, Ben and Ethan Mecham, Brooke, Cole, Brennan, and Jessica Edgley. Also surviving is his brother, Howard (Shirley) Pocatello, Idaho. He was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters, Winifred Phillips and Ellen Roberts, and one brother, Phenoi. Funeral services were conducted on Saturday, May 10, 2008, at the South Fairway LDS Chapel, located at 2000 S. Fairway Drive, Pocatello, Idaho. Interment, Mountain View Cemetery.

Faculty & Staff. Art Instructor. Circa 1890s. The BYA Art Department was organized in 1893 under the noted Utah artist John Hafen, with Christina D. Young as his assistant. He shared the art teaching duties with Edwin Evans and John B. Fairbanks, both of whom also became famous Utah painters. ~ ~ ~ ~ A native of Lehi, Utah, Edwin Evans did not decide to become an artist until almost thirty years of age. After initially studying with local artists in Salt Lake City, he left for France in 1890. This was just two years after the arrival in Paris of the first Utah artist, James Taylor Harwood, a boyhood acquaintance of Evans from Lehi. Soon after arriving in France, Evans joined a small group of Utah painters whose Paris art studies were being financed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In exchange for the art training, the artists were contracted upon their return to paint murals for the temple in Salt Lake City, which was nearing completion.1 In Paris, Evans enrolled in the Academie Julian, but like many other American students entrenched in academic studies, he sought relief painting outdoors on the weekends and during the summer. The time he spent in the countryside near Paris inspired the major plein air work "Grain Fields". After returning to Utah, Evans exhibited the painting at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where it won an honorable mention. ~ ~ ~ ~ Edwin Evans was born February 2, 1860 in Lehi, Utah. He died March 4, 1946, in Venice, California. Interment, Wash. Lawn Cemet, Salt Lake City. His parents: David J. Evans and Climenia Shaw Gibson. Edwin Evans married three times: 1. Catherine Lewis, January 15, 1880. 2. Minerva Amelia Clark, June 7 (div.), 1908. 3. Louise Aurelia Clark, June 6, 1909.

John and Lilly Fairbanks

Faculty & Staff. Art Instructor, BYA. John B. Fairbanks, once a farm boy in the frontier village of Payson, Utah, became one of the pioneer artists of Utah. He was an instructor in art at the Brigham Young Academy. John Boylston Fairbanks was born December 27, 1855 in Payson, Utah. His parents were John Boylston Fairbanks and Sarah "H" Van Wagoner. He married twice: First, to Lilie Annetta (or Lillie Anneta) Huish on June 24, 1877 in Payson, Utah. He second married Florence Gifford on September 21, 1917, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He died on June 15, 1940 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Interment, Salt Lake City, Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ To supplement the low income of teaching, he operated a photographic studio with son J. Leo Fairbanks. John first married Lilly Annetta Huish Fairbanks. She intended to see that her children were well educated, but an unfortunate accident prevented her from seeing her hopes fulfilled. She fell, injuring her neck in August of 1897, and remained bedfast until she died eight months later. She left an infant son and several young children to be reared by the father, assisted by the teenage children of the family. She was born on February 24, 1857, in St. Louis, Missouri. She died on May 12, 1898, in Provo, Utah. Interment, Payson, Utah. Her parents were Walter Henry Huish and Ann Smith Huish. One of their sons, Avard Tennyson Fairbanks, was born in Provo, Utah, on March 2, 1897, the tenth son of a family of eleven. Avard first showed interest in sculpture at the age of 12, when he modeled a pet rabbit under the direction of his brother, J. Leo, by this time an accomplished artist, who had studied in colleges and in Paris art schools and was supervisor of art in Salt Lake City Public Schools. This clay rabbit was entered in the State Fair and won a first prize. However, when the judge, a university professor, learned that it was the work of a boy, he refused to award the medal. This thoughtless act made young Avard resentful and determined to do even better work. He resolved to become an accomplished artist so that the professor would in time recognize him as a professional sculptor. "I'll show him some day!" he said. Avard Fairbanks, Ph.D. (1897-1987) became one of America's most distinguished sculptors, anatomist, and educators of the 20th Century. In his career he created more than 100 public monuments to great characters and events in history. Four are found in the U.S. Capitol Bldg. in Washington, D.C. He studied in New York, Paris, and Italy, and he attained his Doctorate in Anatomy at the University of Michigan where he was also Professor of Sculpture. He served on the faculties of five American universities and he was the founding Dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Utah (his native state). He was a descendant of Utah Pioneers (1847) and colonial Massachusetts settlers (1636). ~ ~ ~ ~ John B. Fairbanks appears in an excellent photograph in the BYH Archives, described as: The Art Club [of Brigham Young Academy] posed in 1896 on the original fountain [not the beehive fountain] in front of the Academy Building. Teacher of the group was John B. Fairbanks (front row with beard), who later also was the official photographer and artist on the Cluff expedition to South America. The Art Department was organized in 1893 under the noted Utah artist John Hafen, with Christina D. Young as his assistant. He shared the art teaching duties with Edwin Evans and John B. Fairbanks, both of whom also became famous Utah painters. Edition

Royce Flandro

Faculty & Staff, 1950s or 1960s. Royce Flandro. "Ich denke an Royce Flandro und seine Frau, die als Rentner eine Mission in Spanien erfüllt und dort einen unschätzbaren Dienst geleistet haben. Als sie nach Hause kamen, fehlte ihnen diese großartige Arbeit, und so kamen sie zur Missionsabteilung der Kirche, um zu fragen, wo sie am besten helfen könnten. Man schlug ihnen vor, doch vielleicht Ungarisch zu lernen, was sie auch taten. Ein paar Monate darauf wurden sie nach Ungarn berufen und leisteten wieder hervorragende Arbeit. Ihr nächstes Ziel ist die Mongolei." Source ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Royce Pendleton Flandro, 1922 ~ 2018. Royce was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 22, 1922 to Arthur L. and Claire P. Flandro. Royce died on August 13, 2018 at age 95. He is survived by his wife, Martha Facer Proctor Flandro. He married Melba Ottosen in the Salt Lake Temple in 1949. Together they had seven children who survive him: Victoria (Kent) Chadwick, Valerie (Gerry) Rovelsky, Jolene (Lance) Wells, Kent Flandro and Mike Gilliam, Barbara (Alan) Yearsley, Renae (Mark) Folkman and Gaylynne (Tobin) von der Nuell. He was very close to his siblings and is survived by: Paul W. (Marian) Flandro, Scott (Jean/Miriam) Flandro and Mark V. (Donette) Flandro. He is preceded in death by his sister Beverly (Lloyd) Call and brother Dayle R. (Mary) Flandro. From his youth, Royce championed family life, work, and service in the church and community. In school, he played football and ran track as well as participating in opera, choir, and theater. At both East High School and University of Utah, he was in ROTC, which prepared him to serve in World War II in North Africa and Italy, earning him a Bronze Star. Royce served as a Bishop, a Counselor in several Bishoprics, and on the Stake High Council for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Education was highly valued in his life. He received his Ph.D. from Indiana University and later taught at BYU for 35 years in the areas of Indian and Career Education, Educational Psychology and School Administration. Using his vast experience, he directed programs for 2 years each at Tehran University in Iran, also in Mongolia and at Utah Technical College. Work and church service continued to highlight his later years. After Melba passed away in 1985, he married Mary Jane Viehwig. Royce and Mary Jane faithfully served LDS missions in Spain, Hungary, Mongolia, U of U Institute of Religion, and Salt Lake Family History Library. After Mary Jane’s passing, he married his long-time friend, Martha Proctor, who served an LDS mission with him to the Madrid Spain Temple and later served in the Provo Temple. Royce favored the Kiwanis Club motto “We Build” for many reasons, but particularly because he found himself building or rebuilding programs, structures, people and procedures. He enjoyed innovation, problem solving and spearheading in a wide variety of settings and simply went where he was truly needed. Throughout his life, Royce never stopped discovering, learning and doing. This was exemplified by his love to read, family history research, swim, boat, ski, skate and rollerblade. His life is a testament to the love of the Lord, nature, people, various cultures and especially family. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, August 17, 2018 at the Edgemont 5th Ward Chapel, 350 East 2950 North, Provo, Utah. Friends may call at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 East Center Street, Thursday, August 16 from 6-8 p.m. and at the church Friday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to services.
