He was born October 21, 1904, in a home on the south bank of City Creek in Salt Lake City, to Elias Smith Woodruff and Nellie M. Davis Woodruff. Asahel married Eva Mildred Stock April 14, 1930 in the Salt Lake Temple, and after her death in 1969, he married Dorothy N. Candland on March 13, 1972, also in the Salt Lake Temple. He was educated in the Fremont and Forest Elementary Schools, Granite High School, and the Universities of Utah, Denver, Brigham Young, and received his Ph.D. in 1941 at the University of Chicago. He taught and directed seminaries and institutes in Escalante, Fillmore, Price, and Ogden. He served professorships at Cornell, Brigham Young, George Washington Universities and the University of Utah. Subsequently, he became Dean of the Graduate School and Dean of the Colleges of Education at Brigham Young and at the University of Utah. He was visiting professor at the Universities of Illinois, California at Berkeley, Utah State and State University College at Geneseo, New York. Internationally, he assisted in the establishment of a department and faculty of education at Haile Sellassie I University in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Dorothy was Director of Elementary Education on that faculty. Asahel filled five missions, two of them with Dorothy, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, both as a full-time missionary and on special assignments, taking leadership in missionary programs, coordinating visitor centers and establishing name extraction programs. He has served in both stake and mission presidencies. For fifty-eight years he served as a Scouter and Scout leader. He authored two Sunday School manuals, contributed to other church publications and, professionally, authored two college textbooks along with numerous professional articles. He has been a member of some eleven professional organizations and has received a variety of educational awards. To his family, Asahel was always the wise and compassionate patriarch, ever concerned about and willing to help solve even the smallest problem. Many came to him for personal, spiritual, and professional guidance. His teachings always reflected himself, a man of clear thought, a man of patience and love. Never offending, always supporting and giving, Asahel loved people, their hearts and their ideas. While many will remember his intellectual contributions, many more will remember his Christ-like concern for others and his clear way of teaching gospel principles.

(Carolyn) Sutherland [BYH Class of 1959]; and Dorothy's children, Mrs. James F. (Linda) Webb, Mrs. Greg (Christine) Stephens, D. Stuart Candland, and Michael Candland.

Carolyn Woodruff Sutherland Bearnson, age 77, passed away gracefully on Monday, July 2, 2018, with family by her side. Carolyn was born March 18, 1941 in Chicago, Illinois. She was the second of two children born to Asahel and Eva Woodruff, just 19 months after her sister, Gaile. The sisters were life-long best friends. Carolyn lived in Virginia and New York before coming to Provo, Utah, where she graduated from BY High in the Class of 1959. She also graduated from BYU with a degree in English. Carolyn married Russell Lee Sutherland on September 1, 1961. They built their family home in Alpine where they raised their 9 children. They were devoted to each other and to their family. Following Russ’s death in 1985, Carolyn returned to BYU to obtain a nursing degree. She worked on the oncology floor at LDS Hospital, and eventually earned a Master’s degree and a Doctorate in nursing. She taught nursing at BYU and also on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. Carolyn was a nurse in one sense or another her entire life. She had a great capacity to love and nurture and genuinely cared for everyone. After almost 20 years alone, Carolyn found love again. She married LeRoy Wood Bearnson in 2005. Together they retired from BYU, traveled the world, and served a mission in Chinle, Arizona. They hosted countless family gatherings for their large family. Carolyn had a great love for the Lord and for His gospel. She lived a truly Christlike life and was a strong example of such Christlike qualities as patience, selflessness, compassion, humility, and charity. She had the ability to make people feel loved and important. Carolyn knew the art of hard work. She and Russ grew 600 spruce trees on their property in Alpine. She would say they weren’t growing trees — they were growing boys. She was accomplished in all homemaking arts, including cooking, baking, sewing, cleaning, and gardening. She had a gift for all things literary. She was an avid reader, and had a way with words. She also loved music, especially classical. She played the piano and the organ, sang beautifully, and enjoyed composing music. She was a thoroughly elegant woman. Carolyn is survived by her husband, LeRoy Bearnson, eight children: Mark (Melody) Sutherland, Barbara (Keith) Paskett, David (Lois) Sutherland, Karen (Rhett) Chamberlain, Jennifer (Carlyle) Ostler, Jeffrey (Emily) Sutherland, Emily (Sean) Flynn, and Justin (Nichole) Sutherland; and four step-children: William (Karyl Lynn) Bearnson, Stephen Bearnson, Ruth Bearnson, and Robert (Kelly) Bearnson.

Clark. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Gaile Woodruff Clark passed away Saturday, February 2, 2008, surrounded by her children and grandchildren, following an eight-year battle with cancer. Gaile was born August 29, 1939 to Asahel and Eva Stock Woodruff in Salt Lake City, Utah. Growing up with her best friend and sister, Carolyn, she loved riding her horse, reading, playing the piano, and going on family trips. Gaile attended Brigham Young High School, graduating in 1957, and Brigham Young University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English along with a secondary teaching certificate. While in school, she met and married DaCosta Cecil Clark of Provo. After graduation Gaile and Cecil moved to Palo Alto, California where Gaile taught high school while Cecil was earning his doctoral degree. Next they moved to Seattle, Washington, where they lived for nine years before moving to Provo, Utah, where they settled permanently. During these years they began their family and, over 15 years, had seven children. Gaile, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, loved and served in every auxiliary at the ward and stake levels. She particularly loved working with the young woman, and did so many times over the course of her life. After rearing their children, Cecil and Gaile served two full-time missions. The first, at the Jerusalem Center in Israel, allowed her to utilize her musical talents in daily organ recitals and, as well, to share her compassionate nature in conducting humanitarian projects in hospitals. The second, to Laos, focused on humanitarian work in English teaching, music keyboarding, working with blind children and being part of the first LDS branch. Additionally, Gaile was instrumental in establishing the first Young Women organization in Laos. During this time in Laos, she witnessed the calling of the first two Lao missionaries and the dedication of the country of Laos for missionary work. The last years of her life, Gaile quietly and willingly dealt with the various stages of cancer. Her faith was exemplified by her determination to serve, to live life to the fullest and to do the will of her Heavenly Father to the end. Her greatest joys were her family and the gospel. Gaile is survived by her husband, Cecil; her sister, Carolyn Sutherland Bearnson of Provo; and six of her children: Stacy Hansen of Boise, Tamara Pinder of Orem, Cheri Kohler of Provo, Brett Clark of Albuquerque, Allyson Thompson of Clearfield and Scott Clark of LondonÑas well as their spouses and 19 grandchildren.

Her condition was not, however, considered critical, and her death is a great shock to her aged mother, who is in failing health, and to her many relatives and friends. The deceased was the daughter of the late LDS Church President Wilford Woodruff and Mrs. Sarah Woodruff, and was born in Salt Lake City October 22,1867. She moved to Provo in the fall of 1892, and has since been connected with the the Brigham Young Academy, of which she is a graduate, as a student and teacher. She has held the position of assistant teacher in the grades in the Training Department, and was an Instructor in the Domestic Arts Department at the time of her death, and although her health has been failing for about a month past, she continued in the discharge of her duties in the Academy till a week ago, when she was compelled to cease her labors, her ailment having developed into a case of pneumonia. Miss Woodruff was a woman of most lovable disposition, studious, energetic and conscientious in the performance of every duty, and devoted friends throughout the state will sincerely mourn her death and extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved mother and relatives. The time of the funeral has not been decided upon, awaiting an answer to a communication sent to a brother, who is in the Big Horn (Wyoming) country, whose attendance is desired. A funeral will be held in Provo at 2 p.m. Tuesday, the students of the Academy attending in a body. The body will be brought to Salt Lake Wednesday morning for interment in the family lot in the City cemetery. ~ ~ Source: Salt Lake Herald, February 16, 1903.

University (BYU Records Office), Book 5, p. 243. ~ ~ ~ ~ Hugh McCurdy Woodward. The first President of Dixie College in St. George, Utah, was Hugh McCurdy Woodward. President Woodward was born in December, 1881, in Huntington, Utah, to Enoch J. Woodward and Ann L. Raymond Woodward. He attended the Uintah Stake Academy in 1900-01, the Brigham Young High School in 1902-03, Beaver Branch BYA in 1905-06 and Brigham Young High School in 1906-08, graduating in the Class of 1908. He received his Bachelors degree from BYU in 1911 and was promptly hired as the first principal of the St. George Academy. He and his wife, the former Emily Timothy [BYU, Class of 1925], were the parents of three children, one son and two daughters. Their son was William Jennings Woodward, born October 8, 1915, in Los Angeles, California; died July 27, 1969. One daughter was Esther Carol Woodward, born January 7, 1921 in Burley, Idaho; died September 28, 1977. After the announcement of his appointment, many older folks in the St. George area shook their heads in doubt worrying if anyone so young and in­experienced could handle the rugged over-aged and oversized characters that were likely to enroll in the new school. When Professor William J. Snow of BYU was home for a vacation in Pine Valley he was asked about Woodward. He is said to have replied, "If he can't handle it, I don't know who can." According to the school's first announcement, the curriculum was designed to provide for four years of high school work. Courses were planned in 15 different subject areas. Even though school was a few days late in opening, the enrollment far exceeded expectations. The first week's totals showed 121 students had registered but later in the year over 135 students were enrolled. The St. George Stake Board of Education set the registration fee at $15.00 per year for that first year, but later reduced it to $10.00 payable in two equal payments. Students often gave produce and hauled wood for the school or labored in some other way to provide the money for tuition. A lifetime registration fee was offered the next year, 1912-1913. A student could register for $16.00 for his/her lifetime plus $10.00 for each year. They could then attend the College for as many years as they desired. The school had its own bookstore so that book prices could be kept at a margin just above cost. The church and school leaders were very conscious of keeping the expenses for students at a bare minimum. That first fall Principal Woodward, with suggestions from the faculty and the students, organized a school government. Laws were written to govern the Academy. The student self- government worked out well, perhaps giving the students greater freedom than that of other schools in the State. The new student government was run according to the City Commission form with a Chief Commissioner, five other Commissioners, a Chief Justice and Prosecuting Attorney. The officers were responsible for writing the laws and regulations to run the school. They were then submitted to the student body for ratification. A 10-member police force was chosen to help carry out the school laws. This form of student self-government worked so well that several Colleges and high schools in Utah and other Western States sent for pamphlets outlining the system. The first school constitution was ratified January 29, 1917. Some of the school laws reflected the LDS religious background. The use of tobacco and liquor was prohibited. Students convicted of boisterous, ungentlemanly or unwomanly conduct risked expulsion. Visiting the local pool hall was prohibited and it was unlawful to use profane language. Students having a grade point average of 75% or lower were not allowed “out” on weekends. Principal Woodward was always concerned with establishing policies which would help the growth and future stability of the new academy. They established a preparatory school in 1912 to help students below high school grades to prepare to achieve in the more advanced classes. The tradition of “D” Day started during the 1912-13 school years. The Class of 1913 went to the Sugar Loaf rock on the Red Hill north of St. George and painted the numerals "1913" in large white letters on the face of this prominent landmark. This move created considerable attention both among the students of Dixie and many of the townspeople; but most concerned were the students of the Class of 1914. This class was three times as large as the class of 1913 and this younger class, known as the Dolphins -- so-named out of respect for their president Dolph Atkin -- decided that 1914 would look much better on the face of the Sugar Loaf than 1913. As a result, it was only a few days until the original numeral "3" had been obliterated with red paint and a brand new figure "4" appeared in its place. After this, it was not unusual to see a change in the figures every few days. In fact, it became customary to look toward the Sugar Loaf each morning to see who had been on the job during the night shift. After the class of 1913 graduated, the members of the Class of 1915 sprouted a few wings for ambitious projects and took up the challenge where the Class of 1913 had left off. The encounters were not confined to the Sugar Loaf on the Red Hill. Quite a class rivalry was started. It was not long until the school and the student body officers met together and began talking of the possibility of a program that would bring all the students together and would do away with this heavy class rivalry. It took some time to achieve the desired results, but out of this effort came the idea of building a school letter on one of the surrounding hills, and writing the word "Dixie" on the Sugar Loaf in place of any class numerals. Soon after school began in the fall of 1914, it was decided by the interested students, faculty, and many of the townspeople, that the proper place to build the school monogram "D” was on the face of the Black Hill west of town. Friday, February 19, 1915, was a great day for Dixie High School (later Dixie College.) That was the day set for the actual building' of the "D". It was that school's own holiday, and was to become the first regularly established holiday for Dixie College. The activities included a downtown parade in the afternoon, a lunch and after-lunch program on the hill, and mid-afternoon sports on the campus, the lighting of the "D" about 9 p.m., and the closing event of the day, the D-Day Dance. This feature has become very prominent during the course of the D-Day History. At the dance the D-Day Queen and her attendants receive appro­priate honor participating in the floorshow, and everyone present is made to feel that the "D" Day activities are an integral part of Dixie College and the Dixie Spirit. In 1918, President Woodward left St. George and went to the University of Utah, where he obtained his Masters Degree. In 1920 he went to the University of California for his Ph.D. He worked for the Bureau of Public Health in Washington D.C., in 1920-21, and returned to BYU in various capacities until 1936. He spent four summers as a Professor of Education at the University of Washington. He was elected to the Utah State Senate in 1935, and was persuaded to become a Democratic candidate for Governor in 1936. President Woodward became a Professor of Philosophy at the University of California and taught there from 1937 to 1940. He died August 11, 1940 in San Francisco, California. [Some records say he died on August 12, 1937 -- no explanation.]

After dental school they spent one snowy year in Provo, Utah before deciding to head south to enjoy the Arizona sunshine. Aenone and Grant arrived in Mesa on January 1, 1953, with four daughters. Another daughter was born in Mesa. Mom was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and homemaker. She served in a variety of church callings. She and her husband served as missionaries in the Johannesburg, South Africa Mission. She was an Ordinance Worker in the Mesa, Arizona Temple, for almost 10 years, alongside her husband. She loved her Savior, Jesus Christ. Along with her great love and enjoyment of the arts, her favorite pastimes were studying the scriptures, sewing, reading, knitting, and spending time with her family. Her family is going to miss her quick wit, her sense of humor, her funny stories, and her up-to-the-minute knowledge of the news and sports. Our family would like to thank PJ, Steve, and their team of care-givers at Caring Heart Terrace for the tender loving care they have given Mom. Her husband Grant preceded her in death in March 2009. She is survived by five daughters, Berit (Frank) Purcell – Mojave, California; Kathy – South Ogden, Utah; Karen – Mesa, Arizona; Janice (Larry) Metcalf – South Ogden, Utah (currently serving as missionaries in Sao Paulo, Brazil South); and Marilyn (Dennis) Ellsworth - Mesa, Arizona. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. She was preceded in death by two younger brothers, Wilbur (Wanda) Woolf, and Mac (Bonnie) Woolf.
