Classes in 1910's. John Sutton Linton Family. [Divide into separate records after doing research.] ~ ~ "In 1907, their eldest daughter Mary Ellen married William Franklin Crow in the Salt Lake City Temple. A week later, her new husband left for the Southern States where he served a mission for two years. While he was away, Mary Ellen lived with her parents, attended BYU, and worked as a librarian. Four of her younger siblings attended BYU High School at this time." ~ ~ ~ ~ John Sutton Linton, eldest child of Samuel Linton and Ellen Sutton, was born April 6, 1859 at Salt Lake City Utah. As a young man he worked with his father extending the railroad. He also helped on the family farm harvesting hay. John was ordained an Elder in the LDS Church in the St. George Temple by President Wilford Woodruff on 22 Feb 1877, and endowed the same day. He became engaged to Eliza Ann Gadd before leaving on his mission and began service in the Southern States mission on 2 Dec 1882. John served mostly in Chattanooga, Tennessee area. Upon returning from his mission the spring of 1885, John resumed courting Eliza Ann Gadd. The couple traveled (accompanied by John’s mother, Ellen Sutton) for three weeks by wagon to reach the recently completed Logan temple. They were married 17 Dec 1885. John Sutton Linton and Eliza Ann Gadd Linton had eight children: Mary Ellen (1886), Leora (1889), Lua Alice (1891), Genevieve (1894), Jeanette (1895), Grace-Idell (1897), Wilma-Belle (1901), and Heber John (1904). After Leora was born, the couple built an adobe home in the northeast part of Nephi. It was a home filled with love and devotion, with an appreciation of music, and the fine things of the life. The family spent many hours in the evenings gathered in the front room singing and reading the scriptures. John and Eliza Ann loved to sing and formed a fine duet. Favorite songs included, Let Us Oft Speak Kind Words to Each Other, The Lord is My Light, and Sweet Genevieve. Eliza Ann would often sit with her mending, while John sat in the high-backed rocking chair with a child on each knee, and the rest of the children gathered around listening to them sing. John was a lovable man, always kind and gentle, devoted to his wife, family, and the Church. He was a man of great faith and fine language. He loved a good joke, but was never boisterous. He exercised his priesthood in administering to his children in time of sickness. Once, John himself became seriously ill with appendicitis. The doctor told him he couldn’t possibly live because of the danger of gangrene. But through faith, prayers, and the power of the priesthood, John was healed. For a few years, John worked for the Nephi Plaster Company, receiving a dollar a day pay. In the summer of 1900, he worked for the Salt Quarry in Salt Creek Canyon. The family lived in a house across the road from the quarry. On Sundays, the family traveled by way of lumber wagon and team to Nephi so they could attend church and visit family. Then they traveled back to the quarry in the evenings, often after dark. The children, tired out from play, would go to sleep in the bottom of the wagon. On their way home one night, a wagon wheel came off, throwing Eliza Ann from the wagon. The older children helped their mother (who was suffering from a bad back and pregnant with Wilma at the time) walk home. John went looking for the wagon wheel burr, but couldn’t find it, so decided to go back down the canyon. Amazingly, he found the burr in the dark and drove the wagon home. In the fall of 1900, John moved his family to Hydes Ranch, one mile east of Juab and fifteen miles south of Nephi. There, he was engaged in farming and cattle raising. It was a fine ranch, but not a good place to raise girls. So the family moved to Juab where John secured a job with the Railroad Company (in the round house and as a car repairman), working for foreman and bishop, Robert Stephenson. John became Bishop Stephenson.s first counselor in the bishopric. While working on the railroad, John hurt his finger in an accident. He was taken to see a doctor in Nephi who amputated his finger. Complications from this incident nearly killed John. But once again, his life was spared. The family made many wonderful friends while living in Juab, and enjoyed many social gatherings, church events and dances held in the one-room schoolhouse located on the hill overlooking the town. Their last two children, Wilma and Heber were born in Juab. The railroad company moved the terminal from Juab to Lyndyl, so John moved his wife and three youngest children to Lyndyl and lived in a railroad car that winter. John was transferred the next summer to Salt Lake City, and later to Provo, Utah (about 1907) to work in the railroad yards. Their first home in Provo was at 556 S. 2nd West in a large rock duplex. Later they bought the old Barrett home on the corner. John beautified the home with trees, flowers, and a fine vegetable garden. He was an early riser and he retired early, sometimes sleeping in his chair until bedtime. John was a good provider and had a capable helpmate. It was said of Eliza Ann that she could make a real home out of a dry-goods box. In 1907, their eldest daughter Mary Ellen married William Franklin Crow in the Salt Lake City Temple. A week later, her new husband left for the Southern States where he served a mission for two years. While he was away, Mary Ellen lived with her parents, attended BYU, and worked as a librarian. Four of her younger siblings attended BYU High School at this time. In 1912, Leora married Ira W. Thompson and moved to Vernon Center, MN. April 1914, John and Eliza Ann.s second daughter, Lua, left for a mission to the Northern States where she labored for two years. Another daughter Grace served in the Mexican-Texas mission from 1923-1925. 29 Nov 1916 Genevieve married David Anderson of Salt Lake City. 26 September 1917, the family celebrated a double wedding in the Salt Lake Temple. Lua married William Warner Stephenson of Nephi, Utah, and Jeanette married Herman P. Hatch of Chesterfield, Idaho. In 1918 a terrible epidemic of influenza broke out in Provo and throughout the country causing sickness and death. Eliza Ann contracted it Oct. 1918 and came close to death. But through faith and priesthood blessings from John, she was healed. Many neighbors were also stricken with the same disease. John went out to administer to the sick every night, even though the Elders had been advised not to go for fear of taking the disease. John had faith that he would be alright and he never got sick. Many people were blessed and healed through his administrations. World War I broke out in 1917 and many young men were called into service. Among them were H.P. Hatch and W.W. Stephenson, leaving their brides at home with their parents, both girls giving birth to baby daughters while their husbands were away. On 5 December 1921 Wilma married Reno McDonald in Salt Lake. 29 July 1924, Heber married Maidia Fay Badham of Payson. In August 1926, John and Eliza Ann celebrated their Diamond Jubilee. At that time, Eliza Ann was in poor health, but enjoyed the celebration with many family and friends. She died couple of months later (18 October 1926) at the age of 61. Daughter Leora died in San Pedro, California on 27 Jan. 1928 at the age of 39. 13 August 1928, John re-married, marrying Martha Eldredge Brown. John died four months later on 12 December 1928 at the age of 69. Grace was the last of the children to marry. She married William L. Orton, a widower with two small girls (Roma and Gwen), on 29 September 1932 in the Logan Temple.

BYH Class Year Unknown? NOT Class of 1939. Married Reed Smoot -- @2001. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Stella Madsen Smoot, age 86, passed away June 29, 2006, at home in Salt Lake City, surrounded by her family and caregivers. She is survived by her daughters, Kathryn Smoot Egan (Wayne), Anita Smoot Hartmann (Dieter), and Marilyn Smoot; and by her grandchildren, Sherilyn Kathryn Phillips (Trevor) and Jason Reed Caldwell (Lisa), and three great-grandchildren, and her husband Reed, who loved and cherished her for 72 years. Stella was born August 10, 1919, in Provo, Utah, the daughter of Alma T. Madsen and Sarah Carter Madsen. Vivacious and lovely, she met Reed Smoot at age 14 on July 23, and they fell in love that summer. They were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on December 28, 1939, and then moved to Palo Alto, California, while Reed finished his degree at Stanford University. Stella was Reed's support through the days in the U.S. Navy during World War II and throughout his 42-year career with the U & I Inc. They resided in Chinook, Montana, Spokane and Seattle, Washington, Salt Lake City, and then back to Richland, Washington before retiring in Salt Lake in 1981. Stella was an avid reader and a charter member and president of Daria Literary Club. She belonged to a bridge club of girls that all met in school in Provo. They met for years and years in each others' homes. Sewing frustrated her, but she stuck to it anyway to keep her daughters in formals and school clothes. She loved dancing with Reed and playing golf; they were members of the High Steppers and Skate Clubs. She made lasting friendships, first in school, then through social clubs -- the Ambassador, Fort Douglas and Salt Lake Country Clubs -- the last of which she and Reed were members for 35 years. As a volunteer at the University of Utah Hospital she met women who became some of her closest friends and went to Europe with a group of them. She served in several ward Relief Society positions and in many charitable organizations. She and Reed traveled the U.S. extensively during his days with U & I, and in retirement. They counted their trip to South Africa to see Anita and Dieter the great adventure of their lives. An accomplished homemaker, seamstress, cook and hostess, Stella entertained many a guest for dinner parties with food and conversations full of laughter. She made visitors immediately comfortable in her home. She cared for Jason and Sheri with her own brand of tenderness, making them waffles, peanut butter and banana sandwiches, favorite meals and desserts, just as she had cared for her daughters for as long as she lived. She was a gracious neighbor and friend wherever she lived. Her entire life was filled with doing good for others -- anyone whose life might be brightened with her English toffee, mustard pickles, a shared book, a hand-knit afghan, custard pudding if you were sick, or a place at the dinner table to welcome you to the family. Her sense of humor -- disarming and wry -- was an asset as was her poetry. In what she called her "dark days" at the end of her life, she said she was a needle without thread. She left behind recipes for good food and a long life lived well. A graveside service was held at 11:00 A.M., Monday, July 3, 2006, at the Provo City Cemetery, 610 S. State Street, where she was interred. [Provo Daily Herald July 2, 2006.]

Class Unknown ~ Honorary. Marilyn Morley. She attended BYU Training School K through 9. She married Van H. Washburn. ~ ~ ~ ~ My grandmother, Maria Saphrona Jensen Morley attended BYU Academy in the late 1800's. She went on to teach in a little one-room schoolhouse in Moroni. She knew how important education was and inspired my dad to excel in academics, and in 1922, Alonzo John Morley came to BYU. He studied drama, designed stage sets, put on plays, dragged scenery up and down stairs and across the street south to the scene shop. He even cast me at age four, in one of the plays. He met my mom Eloise Stewart Morley in the Little Theater in the college hall building. There was a mirror on the wall. Mom was on the stage giving a talk when both she and my dad glanced in the mirror at the same time. Dad winked at her, she dissolved in laughter. That began their courtship and here I am as a result. Dad changed from drama to speech pathology. He was the first person in the world to obtain a Ph.D. in that field. His office was in the lower southeast corner of the college hall building. There was a small laboratory adjacent to his office. He smoked his own graph paper so he could record the breathing of his students. He was a genuine pioneer in his field. One day dad stepped out of his office for a moment, and when he returned the heavy heating radiator had fallen from the ceiling, and crashed down on his desk exactly where he had been moments before. Whew! What a narrow escape! I attended K-9 at BYU Training School. I remember in second grade being so crushed because I didn't receive as many valentines as others in the class, when I'd given every one a valentine cookie. Our third grade class with teacher Flora Fischer walked to Fred Baird's home to see a honeybee operation. The same teacher scolded me for writing a "love note" to a boy in the class. She also taught us how to draw trees and mountains. I learned to count to 100 that year. Our sixth grade teacher: Mr. Tuttle taught us about the movement of the sun by laying large sheets of paper on the ground, in both November and May. The size of the shadows of George Ballif and I were traced and the summer/winter shadows were compared. The winter shadows were longer than the May ones. I don't know how Mr. Tuttle was able to teach us as there was a constant Thump! Thump! Thump! The Men's Gym classes were held on the third floor above our class. In junior high, Curtis Colvin made my life miserable by teasing me. He'd grab my purse and fling it from the top of the third floor stairs and I'd have to run down three flights of stairs to retrieve it. Also in junior high, I was devastated when I tried out for the part of a pretty, young maiden, and instead was cast as a CAT! My parents convinced me of the importance of supporting actors and that it took "real acting" to play a cat. Mr. Steineckert was our teacher. In college we raced back and forth, up and down between the women's gym, the Grant library, the old J.S. building, down the hill to the education building, up the creaking stairs, engulfed by the foul odors from Uncle Joseph K. Nicholes' chemistry lab to the top floor for art classes with B.F. Larson and Roman Andrus, up and way out to the North Building for Sociology classes with Dr. Reed Bradford and Dr. Wilford Smith. I returned to BYU and got a masters degree in Elementary Education. I was asked to teach a nursery school training class in the basement of the education building. I had enjoyed the student teachers. The toilet was in the classroom up on a pedestal with stairs leading up to it. No privacy. I had a couple of my own kids who didn't get along. They attended counseling services in the academy building. Much later, my daughter Lindy Fonoimoana Carlson took Special Ed. Classes in the basement and first floor of the Education building in 1973-75. She remembers that one of her best teachers was a blind gentleman. She graduated in 1975, was married three days later in the Manti Temple, moved to Tahiti, raised five children, and now operates a childcare center there. Presently I have a grandchild, Masina Marie Tutor, who is starting her freshman year, and will occasionally use the "new library" at Academy Square. Watching the deterioration of my old school was devastating. Though I lived in Hawaii until 1989, on trips back here I wrote letters to the editor, campaigned, passed out flyers, attended meetings, raked leaves, participated in the Haunted House, swept out rooms, made monetary contributions, and prayed I'd win the sweepstakes so I could help save the buildings. I hoped all four could be saved but finally had to be satisfied with the Education Building, so now this marvelous building restoration. is the result of the efforts of all of us who worked to save it.

Uncategorized Other Students. BYA 1893-1896. William Ray. HIS OBITUARY: Willian W. Ray. While Taft carried Utah, he ran a poor third nationally and Woodrow Wilson was elected President, the first Democrat in twenty years. Although the Utah legislature went solidly Republican, “Wilson began dismantling the Federal Bunch’s base by appointing Democrats to replace Smoot’s friends in Utah’s federal offices.” One of Wilson’s appointments was William Ray as U.S. Attorney in 1913 – at age 33, one of the youngest U.S. Attorneys in the State’s history. William W. Ray was born December 19, 1880, in Deseret, Millard County, Utah. After his public school education he attended Brigham Young Academy (1893-96) [in Provo or Logan?] and the University of Utah (1897-1902) and graduated from the University with a B.A. degree. He then taught history in the Salt Lake High School for a year and was an Assistant Professor of Political Economy at the University of Utah for a year. In the meantime he had studied law in the offices of Senator Joseph L. Rawlins, and on May 6, 1904, was admitted to the Utah Bar. After five years of solo practice, Ray became a member of the firm of Rawlins, Ray, and Rawlins. One sympathetic biographical sketch, written during the time of his service as U.S. Attorney, opined that his law firm was “recognized as one of the most prominent in the State. Mr. Ray, like his associates, is recognized as a man of superior ability in the line of his profession. He has also won himself very favorable criticism for the systematic methods which he has followed. He displays marked concentration and close application, and his retentive memory has often excited the surprise of his professional colleagues. He stands high, especially in the discussion of intricate legal matters before the court, for his comprehensive knowledge of the law and correct application of legal principles attest the breadth of his professional acquirement.” Ray married Leda Rawlins (a daughter of his mentor, Senator Joseph Rawlins) on June 20, 1905, and they eventually became the parents of four children. Ray was appointed as U.S. Attorney by President Woodrow Wilson and sworn in on December 19, 1913. Ray served until late 1919, spanning the years of United States’ involvement in World War I. He returned to private practice and was succeeded by his Assistant, Blair Evans. In February, 1957, William Ray was named a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, in recognition of “character, achievement, and professional stature.” On June 3 of that year, Ray, age 76, died of a heart ailment in Salt Lake City.

He is survived by his three daughters, Kathryn Smoot Egan (Wayne), Anita Smoot Hartmann (Dieter) and Marilyn Smoot; his grandchildren, Jason Reed Caldwell (Lisa) and Sherilyn Kathryn Phillips (Trevor) and five great-grandchildren. He was a remarkable, gentle man, self-controlled and goal-oriented, who cherished and adored his wife Stella and loved his daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Until the end of his life, he lived according to his own high principles and values, dignified and concerned for anyone in his presence. He was the retired executive vice president and chief operating officer of U & I Incorporated. Reed was born in Provo, Utah on June 8, 1919 to Harlow E. and Anita Parkinson Smoot, and was the grandson of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah. He married his first, only and great love, Stella Madsen, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple December 28, 1939, then moved to Palo Alto, California, where he received his B.A. from Stanford University in 1940. He began work with the U & I Sugar Company in West Jordan, Utah as a storekeeper in the supply room. After service in the U.S. Navy, he returned to U & I, became an assistant purchasing agent, a cashier and office manager in Chinook, Montana, moved into sales in Spokane and later Seattle, Washington. In 1954 he became assistant sales manager in Salt Lake City, then general sales manager, and joined the executive committee and board of directors as vice president.

He retired from U & I in 1981, after 42 years of service. Reed served in the U. S. Navy in World War II as a radio technician having trained in radio, radar and long-range navigation. He chose this on enlistment, because he thought it would be more interesting than being an officer. He used his radio and electronic skills the rest of his life. Reed and Stella had an active social life over the years with a wide variety of friends. They enjoyed dancing and playing golf and were members of the High Steppers and Skate Clubs, The Ambassador, Fort Douglas and Salt Lake Country Clubs.
