Frank and Sarah Knowlton

Class of 1884? Benjamin F. Knowlton, Jr.'s wife, Sarah Lavina Clark, grew up a spirited, self-reliant, happy, talented young lady who enjoyed her home life, acquired many domestic skills and intellectual interests, and was held in high esteem by the young people of Farmington. Following in the footsteps of several brothers and sisters, Sarah, at the age of 17, had enrolled at Brigham Young Academy, Provo, Utah, leaving her family for the first time. She attended the school from 1883 to 1884. Besides enjoying the stimulating intellectual and social life at the academy, she met and fell in love with a fellow student, Benjamin Franklin Knowlton Jr. who came from quite a different social environment. They were married in the Logan Temple on April 14, 1886. Although the Benjamin Franklin Knowltons were living in Farmington at this time, they had recently moved from the ranch known as Delle in Skull Valley. Frank, having lost his mother Rhoda Richards Knowlton at the age of 16, grew up among cowmen and frontiersmen whose moral codes and personal behavior patterns differed sharply from those of the Mormon people in Farmington. Frank's father, Benjamin Franklin Knowlton, spent most of his life in the saddle as a rancher, scout and frontiersman. He played an active and courageous role in the Mormon Militia during the Utah War. Settling in Skull Valley to ranch with his older brothers George Washington and John Quincy Knowlton, his family experienced the harsh, primitive, frontier conditions of life on the isolated Skull Valley frontier with few of the cultural, religious or social opportunities common to Farmington. For the first few years of their married life, they lived in Grantsville, Utah. As the ranching business did not prosper, they moved back to Farmington, taking up residence in a house north of the Knowlton farm. Frank farmed and worked at various jobs in and around Farmington without much success. Discouraged by his economic difficulties and the continued deterioration of his relationship with his father, he concluded in 1900 to leave his wife and seven children and try his luck in the Philippine Islands. The American Government was then recruiting American workers for construction projects in the newly-acquired islands. Until 1902, Frank regularly sent home money to support his family. Then without any explanation, the money ceased to arrive. The family was thrown suddenly upon its own resources. After the sudden death of her mother in 1902, Sarah moved her family into her mother's home to live with Laura and Horace, who had not yet married. By taking in boarders and through the labor of family members and some assistance from relatives, the Knowlton family managed to survive. My father and his brother Richard often worked on farms far from home during the summer months, often receiving harsh treatment and minimal wages. As each of the children matured, they were forced to seek employment to sustain the family. Those years were difficult ones for Sarah Clark Knowlton and her family. Although Sarah and her children were active in the Farmington Ward, rumors of Frank's misconduct in the Philippine Islands spread through Farmington in the 1900's, damaging the family's social position in the community. Not hearing from her husband, Sarah secured an uncontested divorce in 1905.

Martha Jane & Howard Coray

Board of Trustees, Brigham Young Academy, 1875 to 1882. Martha Jane Knowlton Coray. In the 1870s when Brigham Young envisioned a school combining sacred and secular learning, he selected several educated Saints to lay its foundations. Among those asked to contribute was Martha Jane Knowlton Coray. Martha Jane was born in Kentucky in 1821 to Sidney Algernon and Harriet Burnham Knowlton. The family later moved to Illinois, where in 1840 they heard George A. Smith preach the gospel. Martha led the family in baptism. Her great admiration for the Prophet was later described by her husband, Howard Coray, who wrote, "I have frequently heard her say, that [the Prophet] was the greatest miracle to her she had ever seen; and that she valued her acquaintance with him above everything else." Howard also recorded his first impression of Martha: "I discovered at once that she was ready, off hand, and inclined to be witty; also, that her mind took a wider range than was common for young ladies of her age." The two were married on Feb. 6, 1841. After Howard worked as a clerk for the Prophet, the couple began to teach school in Nauvoo. In January 1846 they received their endowments in the Nauvoo Temple, leaving the city with the Saints that same year. To earn money for the trip to Utah, the couple worked for several years in Iowa, where Howard farmed and Martha tended a ferry. They entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1850. Their daughter, Martha Lewis, recalls her mother's sharp wit during the journey in the following memoir: The gold rush to California was on and many curious people came by asking dozens of annoying questions. One time a man came up to mother with curiosity written on his face, but before he could say anything, she started out rapidly with "I'm David Crockett's aunt. I came from the East and I'm going to the West. I think that man over there died with the small pox." This seemed to suffice his curiosity, for he walked away and without a word. I suppose he wondered what was the matter with mother. Once in Utah, Howard worked as a tithing clerk in Salt Lake City before they moved to Provo in 1857. When her husband homesteaded a ranch in Mona, Juab County, in 1871, Martha continued to reside in Provo in order to fulfill her commitments to the community. She participated in Church activities, including Sunday School and Relief Society functions, and wrote for the Woman's Exponent. She distilled herbs and liniments, marketing her products from Nephi to Ogden. Although most of her products had medicinal value, Martha also produced "Lightning Cage Oil," reputed to be stronger than Hartshorn. A slight whiff would render any assailant helpless, gasping for breath. She held the power of attorney for several court matters, and her journal entries and letters demonstrate her knowledge of the law. Martha's journal also records the commitment she had to the education and personal improvement of her 12 children. She wrote of their progress: "All are studying very hard at arithmetic, every leisure hour. Donny read 6 pages and finished his book. Will and Sid began to study; got 5 parts of speech." And she continued to improve her own mind, writing, "Nellie and George came from the city and brought my books, Walter Scott and Herodotus." As a teacher, Martha often faced the frustrations created by a lack of stability, tuition collection, and a general indifference of the public to education. Financial difficulties also plagued her as she served on the Board of Trustees at Brigham Young Academy. In an editorial published by George Q. Cannon, she complained about the lack of support given to the academy, stating that the school was struggling to accomplish the "greatest good with the smallest means" and that its success was due mainly to an "unflinching trust in God." She finished with a call to "Israel" to pay more attention to how close principles of "faith, honor and a deep desire for general intelligence cling to the scholar even after leaving Brigham Young Academy." Despite these trials, Martha continued to champion educational causes throughout her life. In a letter to Brigham Young, she asked, "Does not the deed require the sacred book mentioned to be taken up as a study in the same way as the sciences mentioned?" She further wrote, "My principle of education has been -- God's laws of religion first -- Man's laws of honor and morality second -- Science of every attainable kind and as much as possible but lastly in forming a permanent base for character and hope of future salvation." The Woman's Exponent eulogized Martha with these words: Very early in life she evinced a character in a degree somewhat rare for one of her sex--that is, of decidedly doing her own thinking; hence, before adopting any principle of religion, law, or politics, whether proposed by father, husband, priest, or king, she must clearly see and understand for herself the righteousness and consistency of the matter. ~~~~ This article is part of an honors thesis written by Amy Reynolds, who graduated from BYU in December 1997. ~~~~ Daughter Mary Coray Roberts was born in 1848 at Winter Quarters, Nebraska, the daughter of Howard and Martha Jane Knowlton Coray. Her family migrated to Utah with the Mormon pioneers in 1850. Her family moved from Salt Lake City to Provo, Utah, ca. 1857. Her mother, Martha Jane Knowleton Coray served on the board of Brigham Young Academy. Orville Clark Roberts was born in 1833, son of Dr. Daniel and Eliza Aldula Clark of Keokuk, Iowa. In 1850, he migrated to Utah with the Mormon pioneers. Mary Coray and Clark Roberts were married in 1868 at Provo, Utah. They had nine children. The family made their first home at Mona, Juab County, Utah, moved to Moncos, Colorado, ca. 1881, and to Jackson, New Mexico, in 1891. After their children were married, Mary and Clark went to live near at daughter at San Diego, California. Clark died there in 1912. Mary returned to Utah to live with a daughter and died at Vernal, Utah, in 1923.

The cause of Farel's death was complications incident to age and growing frailty. Bright and lucid to the end of her mortal probation, Farel Kimball was known and loved by all with whom she came in contact. Born November 22, 1906, Farel's life was filled with the joy of living. She and her husband Royal enjoyed many wonderful years together in Central and Southern Utah before moving to Salt Lake City in 1935.

She loved to be involved with family, social interaction and travel. Last week she enjoyed the warm sand of Puerto Vallarta with her family. Some of Farel Kimball's fondest memories were of her constant activity in the church. She served in Primary, Young Women and Relief Society presidencies throughout her life, serving as president in several different wards in Utah and California. Farel enjoyed playing her organ at home and was ward organist in several different wards. She loved good music, cultivated the arts, and encouraged her family to do the same.

Wayne Chamberlain, Salt Lake City, Utah; S. Bryce Chamberlain and K. Douglas Chamberlain, both of Orem, Utah; Renee Dyer and Maryetta Farrer, both of Las Vegas, Nevada.

But one day she notices a female mallard that appears to be in distress while swallowing food. Upon closer examination, Meleski notices a glinting piece of metal that is binding the duck’s tongue to its lower beak. After several days of observation, she finally determines what it is—a pop-top. Aware that the duck’s injury will prove fatal if left untreated, Meleski and her husband, Richard, organize a rescue mission. Recounting the story from the duck’s perspective, PopTop the Duck takes children on an eco-friendly adventure that demonstrates the consequences of littering and the benefits of caring for the environment. Adding an extra layer of education, the book’s epilogue helps parents and teachers answer questions children might have about the story. Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs by Richard P. Meleski and David Lerwill, kids will enjoy viewing the world through a duck’s eyes and getting to see the real-life PopTop — not to mention her surprise ending!

Class of 1965. Darlene Koralewski. Darlene's brother, Dan Koralewsky, was an honorary member of the BYH Class of 1966. ~ ~ ~ ~ "When trying to share high school memories with my children, I tried to explain how the carrell system worked. I could never tell them without laughing. I always had to pull a BYH yearbook from the shelf so they could see and better understand. All the silly antics sure made learning fun. I remember Jerry Hintze sitting in the carrell next to me. I was slowly working my way through algebra and geometry, but I could hear him just whipping through the pages. How discouraging for me but great for him. Over the years when I have reflected back on my growing up years, I have attributed my strength and testimony of the gospel to the years I attended BY High. Finishing my last two years in a public high school in California helped me realize how much BY High has done for me. Thanks for remembering me! I also remember how much fun it was to stop our way across the catwalk making as much noise as possible. A sad memory was when they turned our beehive fountain into a potted plant. My home is now an empty nest, with our youngest child serving a mission in Brazil. But our home is always filled with family. We have lived in Hyrum for 25 years. We thoroughly enjoy living in Cache Valley even with the cold winters. Bill is retired from LDS Family Services. He has worked for the Church for almost 40 years. I worked for a company called SEI, which is designs scrapbook papers. My husband and I are leaving May 5, 2009 for a mission to Alaska, but we can still receive emails." @2009 ~ ~ ~ ~ Re: 2010 All Classes Reunion: It sounds like a delightfully fun and memorable event and if we were at our home in Cache Valley, we would attend. However, I and my husband will still be in Alaska serving our mission. Thanks for the invite and information. Sister Darlene Brown. @July2010
