Rudger & Martha +2 Clawson

Board of Trustees, 1939 to 1944. Rudger Clawson was born March 12, 1857 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Hiram Bradley Clawson and Margaret Gay Judd. Raised as a member of the Church, he was called to several leadership positions, most notable of which were as an Apostle on October 10, 1898, Second Counselor to Lorenzo Snow October 6, 1901, and President of the Twelve beginning March 17, 1921. Meanwhile he found time to marry three times and father eleven children. He first married Martha Ann Dinwoody 1882; later practiced plural marriage; eleven children. Rudger Clawson was the first member of the Church to be prosecuted under the infamous Edmund's Law. His jury was composed of twelve non-Mormons, although Utah at the time was more than nine-to-one Latter-day Saint. Lydia Spencer, another one of his wives, refused to be sworn and was herself committed to the penitentiary in an attempt to force her to testify. Ultimately Rudger was convicted in an unconstitutional ex-post facto application of the law. As a result of his conviction he was subjected to a fine of $500 and the harsh sentence of three years and six months to a federal penitentiary, for which he had donated $1000 to its construction. He was pardoned in 1887 by President Grover Cleveland, which cut only four months off his sentence. Rudger Clawson died June 21, 1943 in Salt Lake City, Utah, well beloved and respected by throughout the Church.

After an heroic battle against cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and neuropathy that spanned over two decades, Wayne Coleman Hoover Close died peacefully on May 11, 2010. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 64 years, Norma Walters Close and a large posterity who honored and respected their father and grandfather. Wayne was actively involved in the development of Provo his entire life. He was born on June 2, 1923, and was part of Provo as it grew from a small town and emerged into a bustling city. Over the years he had many business ventures, the first being a hamburger stand at the age of 10. With his hard work ethic and determination, he built many businesses from scratch including a finance company and real estate business. He attended BY Elementary and BY High School, and shortly after his graduation, enlisted in the Army to serve his country. He passed on to his family his great love and patriotism for our country and served honorably in World War II including the invasion of Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge. He instilled patriotism in the hearts of others and never missed the opportunity to vote. Upon returning home from the war, he met the love of his life and they were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple. They were blessed with four children: Patt, David, Hope, and Diane. His children and grandchildren loved and adored him and spent cherished time with him. He served diligently and faithfully in positions in the church, his favorite being the Executive Secretary in the Pleasant View Ward. He was passionate about not only living life to the fullest, but serving and giving to others in any capacity he could. In his over two decades of life-threatening health problems, he never questioned or doubted why he had to suffer. He endured with courage and honor and he leaves behind a legacy of faith, endurance, patience, hard work, and a sturdy solid testimony of God. He was a blessing to all who had the opportunity to know him and love him. In his own words, he left us saying, "The Lord, indeed, has been good to me". Wayne was preceded in death by his parents and brother Gene Close. He is survived by his wife, Norma; son, David (Valerie); daughters: Patt (Rick) Neslen, Hope Tom) Gardner and Diane (John) Robinson. His legacy lives on in the lives of his 21 grandchildren, 51 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild. He is also survived by two brothers: Melvin D. Close and Jack D. Close.
