Born in Arizona, February 26, 1846 to Hyrum Smith Phelps and Mary Elizabeth Bingham. Gove Edwin married Effie Ellsworth and they had 5 children. He passed away on July 21, 1941 in Mesa, Arizona. ~ ~ ~ ~ Life Sketch written by his daughter, Maxine Phelps Lines: Gove Edwin Phelps was the fourth child and first son of Mary Elizabeth Bingham and Hyrum Smith Phelps. His grandfather was Morris Phelps, his grandmother, Sarah Thompson. Hyrum was born the night the mobs chased the Latter-day Saints out of Nauvoo, Illinois, February 26, 1846. Gove's mother was the daughter of Calvin Bingam and Elizabeth Lucretia Thorn, born December 25, 1853 in East Weber, Utah. Their first three children, Mary Laurett who died in infancy, Lucy Ett who married George Fryer, and Barbara Ann who married Seymour Allen, were born in Montpelier, Idaho. The Phelps family was among the first who were called to move to help colonize the Salt River Valley. While they were enroute, they stayed overnight at Lee's Ferry in Arizona, where Gove was born 2 December 1878. When the family arrived in Mesa, Gove's father established a home on the corner of First Avenue and North Sirrine streets. Gove's other brothers and sisters who were all born in Mesa are Harriet Emmaline who married James Miller, Orson Ashel who married Rebecca Allen, Lester Leo who died at age two, Yuma Letitia who died an infant, Grace Darling who also died in infancy, Amy Dorothy who married Charles Morris, Esther who married William Whatcott, Clara who married Charles Robson, and Martha Gertrude who married Charles Wilson, and Wilford Woodruff Phelps. As a child, Gove was always a very happy and obedient child, who loved his parents, brothers and sisters, dearly. He loved to dance, especially the jig. He kept time with bones which he rattled in his hands. In the family yard was a large swing, which he loved, except when provoked by his older friends who teased him by "pantsing" him, and taking him down to chew his ears. When he and his half-brother Guy were small, they used to go out on the desert, where the Crystal Ice Plan used to be, and drown out squirrels which they would take home and make pets. One of his chores as a boy, was to go after the cows. He used to come back riding old "Puss". It was on one of these trips after the herd, that he lost the old blue coat, which was sorely missed by the family, for it was the warmest they had and worn by all the family. During the summer months he and his brothers used to work on the header, to earn money to go to school. He first attended school at the building which stood where the Lincoln school now stands. After he graduated from the Mesa Schools he decided to go to college, which was unusual for Arizona boys at that time. He went to Brigham Young Academy in Provo, Utah, graduating from that school in Commerce. To earn money to go to school, he used to go to the Cove north of Logan, Utah, to work for Levi Allen on the thresher. He was working there when his father returned from his mission in 1900. One summer he came out with only enough money to pay for his room and board. To help make ends meet, he sewed cuffs to his coat sleeves, and wore a shirt front as a dickey, for he had only a few shirts. While in Provo, the story is told that he was dared to run around the block in the snow in his underwear. He and Elijah Allen took the dare. He was always jovial and well liked by his classmates. At graduation his sister Hattie did some sewing for Fannie Allen to buy his class picture. While Gove was in Provo, he renewed his acquaintance with Effie Ellsworth, whom he had known only slightly, in Mesa. They fell in love, became engaged and were married December 21, 1904. Effie's mother gave the couple a lot on North Macdonald Street in Mesa. Gove borrowed money and built a home there, which they moved into the night they were married. After he was married, he worked for the Standard Oil Company, O.S. Stapley Hardware, and North Brothers Hardware. In a building just east of the Valley National Bank he operated a bicycle shop. During an election year, he "buried" all the losing candidates, with proper epitaphs, much to the amusement of the town people. Deciding that it would be better to own his own building, he borrowed money and built at 27 West Main Street, where First Federal Savings and Loan Company now stands, a large building, which had a garage in front, two warehouses in back, and rooms up above the garage, to be rented. He used one of the warehouses for his hardware and bicycle shop. His first son, Kenneth, was born in their home on North Macdonald, August 13, 1907. He was such a very large baby, weighing about twelve pounds, that he had to be delivered with instruments which crushed his head. He lived only about eleven hours. Their next child, Villa Maxine was born two years later, September 1, 1909. Their third child, Wayne Ellsworth was born August 29, 1911. Gove moved his family into an apartment which he fixed up, upstairs, so that Effie could take care of the hotel part of the building. The family stayed in the hotel for about a year, then moved back to their home, where Worth Lovell was born April 21, 1921. When he was a toddler, they moved back to the hotel, but the space to live in was not large enough. The bottom floor, which had been a garage, was converted into more rooms, and an apartment was provided for the family. About the time of World War I, the two warehouses were removed and the back of the hotel was converted into small apartments, and the second floor had more rooms to rent. In 1921, March 2, their last baby was born, and Gove named him Rex E. after the hotel. When the depression came about 1930, the hotel business was so poor, that a part of the building was converted into a grocery store and meat market, which was turned over to Wayne after he was married. At the hotel, he was always fixing something. A leaking toilet, a room to be painted, roof to repair, fix, fix, fix. But he was always good natured. He worked on the First Ward Building, and was in the Bishopric, for nearly all the time I was growing up. I can still hear his beautiful tenor voice. He always sang as he worked, and I believe it was one of the sweetest voices I have ever heard. He was always in the choir, sang in quartet's, and occasionally would sing a solo. He was always frightened when he sang alone, and if he leaned on the piano, he shook it badly. I hope that I can hear him sing again in Heaven! He never wanted anything for himself, but could not do enough for other people. If he went out the door with a bag of groceries, he would tell his wife when asked, that he was going to take a few things to Brother or Sister so-and-so. He loved his mother dearly, and would go to see her nearly every week. He loved his children. One of his greatest joys was to romp, box, and play with them. His vacations were to take them with him to cut a load of firewood. This he did for the church as well. When asked why he did not take credit on his tithing for the wood, he replied that he did not believe in letting his left hand know what his right had was doing. He believed firmly in the law of tithing, and it came first for settlement, even before taxes, which sometimes threatened the loss of the hotel. When his grandchildren came along, he was never known to be without Black Jack chewing gum in his pocket. They loved him too, for he always took time to play with them. His greatest pleasure was hunting with his brother Wilford, or his nephew Edwin Miller. When his boys got older he took them with him. He operated the old Crystal Pool with his boys for many summers, and had great pleasure in watching them learn to swim and dive so beautifully. He built swings, tetter-totters, monkey bars for his grandchildren. No matter what needed to be done, he always had time for them. His generosity knew no bounds for others, but for himself he wanted only the necessities. He had always extremely good health. He remembered only one time being extremely ill, and that was after eating sour grapes and then drinking ice water. I remember that we worried about him during the influenza epidemic, but he did not have it as so many did during the war. Shortly before he died he complained of having some pain in his chest. After much urging, he went to the doctor who diagnosed it as appendicitis. He went to the hospital for surgery, and a series of small heart attacks followed. He had the feeling that he was going to die, and begged to be taken home. After several more severe attacks, he died 23 July, 1941. He was buried in the Mesa Cemetery. He was loved by thousands for his generosity, his thoughtfulness, and his loyalty to his friends. Source.

Kent and Susan Phillips

Class of 1958. Kent G. Phillips. Football, Wrestling, Track, Lettermen, French Club, Quill & Scroll, Y'ld Cat Newspaper, Chorus, Model U.N., Senior Hop Decoration Committee, Party After Graduation Committee. BYU 1962. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Kent Gordon Phillips, 82, of Orem, Utah, returned to his Heavenly Father surrounded by loved ones at the home he built and lived in for 44 years, on January 8, 2022. Kent was born November 4, 1939 in Provo, Utah to Joseph and Leah Phillips. During his younger years, Kent spent much time working with his father, uncle, and cousins in the plastering business. This early education in hard work and family relationships was evident throughout Kent's life as there was never a job too big or too small, and the relationships he formed with his cousins lasted their entire lives. Kent graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1958. He lettered in football and wrestling. Kent married his sweetheart, Susan, on August 19, 1967 and they were later sealed in the Los Angeles Temple on September 17, 1974. In 1977, Kent and Susan moved back to Utah and built a house that has been their family home since that time. Kent worked many different jobs throughout their first several years of marriage and received an associate's degree in HVAC from Utah Valley Technical College in the early 1980's. It was not until a few years later that he learned how to perform stone masonry. After working as an apprentice for a short time, Kent started his own business. With the help of family and friends, Phillips Stone Co. took off. The same lessons about hard work Kent learned as a young man were then handed down to his sons. As a true artist, Kent won several blue ribbons in home shows over the years for his beautiful stonework. His artistry can still be seen on homes and businesses along the Wasatch Front from Logan to Elk Ridge. Kent was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many callings over the years. His favorite, and most recent calling was as a Temple worker at the Provo, Utah Temple. He had an unwavering testimony of the Church and of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Kent was always quick to help anyone in need and his kind heart touched many throughout his life. Kent's love of family is something that will be most remembered. Camping, hunting, fishing, picnics, and sporting events were always family events. Kent's heart was always full when he was with his family. Kent was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Leah Phillips; brother, Ronald (Erma) Phillips; and sister, Jennette (Norman) Whitaker. Kent is survived by his wife, Susan Phillips. Children, David Phillips, Bobbi Lynn (Brian) Christen, Kristin (Scott) Foster, Gavin (Tiana) Phillips, Brent (Miriam Phillips); 18 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.
