John + 3 Bagley

Class of 1882. John Allen Bagley. ~ ~ ~ ~ His biography: John Allen Bagley, a native of Utah and honor graduate of the Brigham Young Academy high school Class of 1882, served as Attorney General of the State of Idaho and City Attorney for Montpelier, Idaho. He was born in Draper, Utah on May 16, 1862. That was the day the State of Tennessee was officially admitted to the Confederate States of America. John A. was a son of John Grant Bagley and Margaret Mary Jane "Mary" Allen Bagley. John G. Bagley had been born April 30, 1936 in New Brunswick, Canada. His mother Mary was born in Kentucky in 1844, and was reputed to be a descendant of Ethan Allan. His mother and President Ulysses S. Grant were cousins. John Grant Bagley moved to Salt Lake City in 1852 and was engaged in the timber business most of his life. He continued in that line until 1864, when he moved to Bear Lake County, Idaho. There he acquired a tract of land which he improved, developed and operated. He was always active in the affairs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and warmly interested in all its good works. His wife, Mary, died in September 1916. John G. Bagley retired and lived in Montpelier. He died on February 10, 1923 in Dingle, Idaho, and was buried in Montpelier. ~ ~ ~ ~ John A. Bagley, BYA Class of 1882, was educated in the district schools of Bear Lake County. When John A. was in his teen years, he went to Utah to continue his education, where he attended Brigham Young Academy in Provo. While attending school in Provo, he met Reed Smoot, also Class of 1882, who would become a lifelong friend. In later years, John A. and Reed would serve in government together. One of John’s mentors at the Academy was Principal Karl G. Maeser, who encouraged him to study law. Then twenty years old, he graduated with honors in the BYA Class of 1882. In 1886 he went to Ann Arbor, Michigan and graduated in law and civil engineering in 1888 from the University of Michigan. He returned to Idaho and launched a career practicing law, while devoting some time to engineering. In 1903-05 Mr. Bagley served as Attorney General of Idaho, bringing his ability and legal knowledge to bear on the duties of that important office. His son, L. Loraine Bagley, was private secretary to his father while holding the office of Attorney General. In addition to carrying on his law practice in Montpelier, he also maintained an office at Salt Lake City, of which his son, Loraine, took charge. ~ ~ ~ ~ On August 2, 1883, John A. Bagley married Sarah E. Lawson, and they became the parents of one child, L. Loraine Bagley, born on May 7, 1884. Mrs. Bagley died in March, 1885. ~ ~ ~ ~ On August 15, 1888, Mr. Bagley married a second wife, Nina Furrow, and they became the parents of nine children: Van Horn, Moretta, Almorean, Hawley. Lucille and Nina B.; and three children who died in infancy. Mrs. Nina Bagley died November 11, 1905. ~ ~ ~ ~ On January 6, 1907, John A. Bagley married a third time, to Mary M. Peterson, of Bear Lake County, and to this union four children were born, namely: Grant, John A., Jr., Major, and Virginia. Mrs. Mary M. Bagley died in October, 1918, during the terrible influenza epidemic. John A. Bagley served as city attorney of Montpelier for a number of years, at a salary of twenty-five dollars per year. He was a partner of Judge Alfred Budge in Montpelier for several years, and also maintained offices in Paris, Idaho for a considerable time. Politically Mr. Bagley was a Republican and was an active worker on behalf of his party. In church affairs he was no less active, and filled a two-year mission in the Northwestern States Mission for the advancement of the work of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was the first man from this part of Idaho to enter an eastern college, and he was generally regarded as one of the most cultured and capable lawyers who practiced at the bar of Idaho during his lifetime. He died October 9, 1941 in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the age of 79. He is buried in Montpelier, Idaho. Thanks to History of Idaho: The Gem of the Mountains, James Henry Hawley, 1920, pp.430-433. ~ ~ ~ ~ Viewing His Life With Perspective. Here is an excerpt from a chapter written by Marty Ann Halverson, a great grand-daughter of John Allen Bagley: John Allen Bagley began drinking socially during his service as Attorney General of Idaho, in 1902. He was a big fish in a little pond, and keenly aware of it. Although he was highly respected and admired in Idaho, Idaho was considered a primitive and rough place in the larger context of the United States. John was associating with educated and privileged society from the east, probably a little intimidating for a young man of humble, pioneer stock. It is easy to imagine the temptations he faced as a naive Mormon boy from Montpelier. He could not have known that alcoholism is a disease and that for an alcoholic "social drinking" is impossible. He developed an addiction to wine. Modern medicine indicates that the same gene is responsible for migraine headaches, motion sickness, depression and alcoholism. A person with that gene can suffer from any or all of these problems. Descendants of John Allen Bagley should realize that a tendency to addiction could be genetic. Did John suffer from depression as well? The circumstances of tragic death and sorrow during his life suggest that possibility. Some members of the family remember hearing rumors that John used laudanum, as well. Laudanum was a popular drug at the time, recommended by doctors as a pain killer, sleeping medicine and anti-depressant. Laudanum was self-administered, cut from a brick the size and texture of a pound of butter, and then diluted or "cut" with a small amount of alcohol. Laudanum is a solution containing morphine, prepared from opium. Later, a milder but similar solution became paregoric, a regulated medication. If John did use this drug, perhaps for migraine headaches, it is likely he became addicted to it. Alcohol and laudanum would actually contribute to the very conditions they supposedly cured. John's grandchildren had a very different experience with him than those who knew him well as a younger man. Marie Bagley was afraid of him. Gerald Bagley recalled that "he smelled funny," and Melvin Bagley said his father, Hawley, had to "carry Grandpa home from bars when he was drunk. He seemed cold and uninterested in us kids." Some of his grandchildren thought he was mean, and that he became frightening and angry when their father Hawley would not bring him wine. John's choices probably seemed justifiable to him in the beginning, yet the consequences of those choices may have rendered him unable to escape. Alcohol and drug addiction, even if entered into innocently, could certainly have changed John's personality. Marjorie Turner, another granddaughter, said her brothers Stuart and Ben had opposite memories of John Allen. His son Loraine gave him work in his Salt Lake law office. Loraine's son, Ben, remembered his grandfather as "almost a bum, begging clients for quarters." The other son, Stuart, remembered John A. as always looking dapper in a starched white shirt and suspenders. John apparently struck people in very different ways. John Allen Bagley has been described as poetic, brilliant, honorable, eloquent, warm, capable and loyal to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has also been described as a boozer, womanizer, "scheming backroom politician," and "a damned drunk." The real man was probably neither as good or as bad as he is portrayed. Like most of us, he was most likely somewhere in between. His life should be viewed with perspective, balancing the admirable qualities with the objectionable details, tempering our judgment with our personal shortcomings, appreciating his worthy contributions and perhaps pondering his mistakes. It's fun to play the devil's advocate. I think there's something heroic in just about everybody when you know get to know them, warts and all. Source

Class of 1947. Clifford "Jay" Bailey. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: LAYTON - Clifford "Jay" Bailey, our most beloved father, grandfather, mentor and friend left this mortal world behind and rejoined his mother, father and sons in heaven on April 6, 2012. He was 83 years old. He died in the arms of his beautiful wife Susie, surrounded by family and friends. Jay graduated from Brigham Young High School in 1947. He married Renae McArthur in the Salt Lake Temple. They were later divorced. He then married Susie Fay Bohon on March 6, 1976. The marriage was solemnized in the Ogden Temple one year later. Jay was born on November 7, 1928 in Schofield, Utah, the son of a coal miner. His parents, Clifford and Nita Bailey, taught Jay the value of hard work at an early age. This work ethic prevailed throughout his life as he started Bailey's Moving & Storage and several successful furniture and framing businesses. He was one of the last businessmen whose handshake was as good as a contract. 'Till the day he died, Jay refused to "sit and watch another man work." One of Jay's greatest loves in life was preaching the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served two missions, one as a young man and one after retirement with his best friend and wife Susie. His other loves were his family, fishing and photographs. His honesty, gentleness and giving heart made him a hero to nearly all who knew him. Jay is survived by his wife Susie Bailey, his sisters Louise Curry and Gwila Despain; his children Dave, Steve and Tyler Bailey, Karen Lund, Christal Holley, Scott Tracy, Vicki PoVey, Kathy Bastian, Robin Berenyi, Michelle Evans, Blaine Tracy; 43 grandchildren and 53 great-grandchildren. His sons Brian and Bobby Bailey preceded him in death. We mourn his passing but we cherish his memory and we know that he is where he wants to be, at home with his Father in Heaven, in the clouds he loved so much. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 11 a.m. at Lindquist's Layton Mortuary, 1867 N.
