Leola and Jerry Sermersheim

BYH Class Unknown? [would have been 1938, 1939, or 1940]. Leola Ethel Forsyth Sermersheim, 82, passed away peacefully Friday, October 11, 2002 in Orem, of causes related to congestive heart failure. She was born March 22, 1920, in Provo, Utah to Stanley M. and Ethel Eunice Cox Forsyth. Leola grew up and attended schools in Provo, graduating from high school at Brigham Young Academy [Note: Brigham Young Academy ceased to exist in 1903 -- this is apparently a reference to Brigham Young High School, but we cannot find her name in listed with any senior class in any BYH Wildcat yearbook]. She married Gerald C. (Jerry) Sermersheim on May 10, 1941 in Salt Lake City. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Provo Temple. Her husband passed away in 1993. After moving several times from 1941 to 1950, Leola and Gerald finally settled in Springville. Together they remodeled and built on to their home as a life-long labor of love. They both loved to travel and be with their group of close friends, spending many winters in Arizona, after Gerald retired. They participated in travels and activities with friends in the Good Sam Club for many years. Leola loved many activities, including square dancing in her younger days and playing cards (Pinochle, 3 to 13, and Skip-Bo) with her friends and family. (It was hard to get the best of Grandma at cards.) Being an active member of the LDS Church, she served in many positions during her lifetime. She was saddened in needing to reduce her activities at church and with friends in recent months due to her declining health. She is survived by her son, Gerald L. (Jerry) Sermersheim (Susan) of Springville; daughter, Sue Masterson of Spanish Fork; six grandsons: Todd Sermersheim (Janalee), Jim Sermersheim (Roni), Kyle Sermersheim, Steven Sermersheim (Aimee), Mike Sermersheim, and Jeremy Masterson; 13 great-grandchildren; and brother, Victor Forsyth (Mary). Her husband, Jerry; and sister, Vilate Dansie, preceded her in death. Funeral services were held on Tuesday, October 15, 2002 in Springville. Interment, Springville Evergreen Cemetery.

Uncategorized BYH Student. Donald H. Fotheringham is not listed as a student at BYH, [although a "Khulil O. Fotheringham" of Panguich, Utah, is listed as a BYU Freshman student in Applied Sciences in 1924 - Otho Khulil Fotheringham, b. 31 Jan. 1904, Panguitch; m. Helen Ash, was an older brother of Don]. Background sources: BYU/BYH Annual Catalogues for the School Years 1923-24, 1924-25, and 1925-26. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS BIOGRAPHY: Donald H. Fotheringham, fourth child of Edmund & Ettie (Henrie) Fotheringham, was born December 25, 1905 in Panguitch, Utah. In 1928 he married Ruth Vandyne Barton. Don attended Garfield High School at Panguitch, then Provo High School where he was a member of the track and basketball squads. He transferred to Brigham Young High School because of an opportunity for work as janitor at BYU. Then he enrolled at BYU. During his year and a half at college he paid his own expenses, serving as janitor and as a paper boy with a route of 112 blocks. He was a good student but had little time for school activities or social accomplishments. Don and Ruth started keeping company when they were students at Garfield High School. He was a member of the basketball squad and she was cheerleader at the same school. After their marriage they made their home in Panguitch. Later they lived at their Uncle Jim Henrie’s home. Don worked at various jobs, farming, herding sheep, fur trapping. During the depression, when employment was almost at a standstill, Don joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). He enjoyed his work with the Forest Service very much, was in St. George on a CCC project for about a year, then worked at Veyo and Cannonville. During these years they purchased and paid for a home and lot, a car, and had three lovely, healthy children. Don was next employed as a caterpillar operator for Whiting Construction Co. Later he held a similar position for the Bracken Construction Co. at Mercur, Utah. They moved to Mercur and lived in the crude mining camp in a one-room house made of galvanized iron. These were happy years, however. Together with other young folks in the camp, they asked for and received permission from the Tooele Stake to organize various auxiliaries of the Church. Don served as Ward Teacher. Ruth served as Primary and Sunday School teacher, and as 2nd counselor in Relief Society. In 1940 Don accepted work on a construction job near Eugene, Ore., but about a month after he started, he was seriously injured and was in the Oregon Hospital for about eighteen months. In 1942, after conditions had smoothed out, Don set up a small cafe in Bingham, Utah, called “Don’s.” He did very well, and one year later he moved it to Provo. It was also called “Don’s Cafe.” This was a very successful venture during the eight years they operated it, They bought and paid for a home on Farr Avenue in Provo. Don became a member of the Provo Lions and Ruth was a Lady Lion. He served on various committees, headed the entertainment committee for two years, was director of Timpanogas Dancing Club, Lion Tamer, member of the Rod and Gun Club, and Wild Life Association. In 1948 they sold the cafe in Provo and purchased the Chief Timp Service Station and Motel in Orem, Utah. They have had good and bad times, but it is with a great deal of satisfaction they note that Dun and Bradstreet listed them among the best credit ratings in Orem. Ruth has served as a block teacher for Relief Society, She has been theology teacher and special interest leader and Bible teacher in M.I.A. They had 4 children: ( 1. ) Edmund D. “Ted” Fotheringham, b. 6 Apr. 1929, Panguitch, Utah. He joined the Navy and served during the first part of the Korean War on the Carrier Boxer. He was in charge of air conditioning and refrigeration. The ship was in the theatre of war during most of the 2˝ years Ted served on her; he was a petty officer 1st class when he was honorably discharged. He attended the School of Fine Arts, studying Architecture at the University of Utah. On 12 Dec. 1953, Ted married Elaine Blackburn, at Springfield, Idaho, her home. They had one child: (a) Janica Fotheringham, born 15 Oct. 1953. (2.) Douglas V. Fotheringham, 2nd child of Donald H. & Ruth (Barton) Fotheringham, was born 3 July 1934, Panguitch, Utah.
