Born June 29, 1847, Bedford Leigh, Lancashire, England. First married Maria Josephine Harvey, October 11, 1873. They had four children; she died after fourth. Second married Hannah Billings, 1876, no children. Third married Delia I. Winters, and they had four children. John E. Booth served as Mayor of Provo, Utah, from 1890 to 1891. John died March 28, 1920. In 1871 he craved a deeper insight into mathematics, so he moved to Provo, teaching and studying in the Timpanogos University, a branch of the University of Deseret with Warren H. Dusenberry. He studied law at night under John B. Milner and in 1875 [One year before the founding of BYA] was admitted to the Utah bar. He was appointed city attorney for Provo in 1875 and was a city counselor from 1876-1882. Judge Booth took great pride in the fact that he was a prime mover in getting the Academy in Provo, and was most happy when Karl G. Maeser assigned him the chair of mathematics at the new Brigham Young Academy. He taught civil government and law at the Academy for many years without pay (1886-1920). Some of the best legal minds of the state got their inspiration and start from Judge John E. Booth. [Brief profile in The Sons of Brigham by T. Earl Pardoe, 1969, pp. 7-10.]

Academy, Book 1, page 3. ~ ~ ~ ~ Joseph Wilford Booth was born on August 14, 1866 in Alpine, Utah. His parents were Richard Thornton Booth and Elsie Edge Booth. He married twice: First, to Mary Rebecca Moyle on May 28, 1891 in Logan, Utah. Second, to Edith Young [Nora Effie Young] on June 23, 1915. He died on September 5, 1928 in Alleppo, Syria, Turkey, at the age of about 62. Interment, Alpine, Utah. [One record says he married Rose Harvey of Pleasant Grove, Utah -- would have been his third marriage.] ~ ~ ~ ~ Joseph Wilford Booth was born in Alpine, Utah, on August 14, 1866, the ninth of ten children in his family. His parents, Richard Thornton and Elsie Edge Booth, joined the Church in England and emigrated to Utah, settling in Alpine in 1858 when the Saints were moving south to avoid the imminent invasion of Johnston’s Army. Though living in a rough, frontier environment, and without benefit of formal schooling themselves, Richard and Elsie emphasized the importance of education with their children. Father Booth is reported to have said that his children “shall always have books even if they had to go without shoes or other necessities.” The children, though heavily engaged in farm labor and other jobs to help meet family needs, were all literate and learned to relish the life of the mind. Booth’s early journals reflect a fascinating mix of the drudgery of manual labor, characteristic of life in late 19th century rural Utah, and his delight in more cerebral interests. He was a “cowboy poet” if ever there was one, a rustic intellectual with an endlessly eager mind who wrote a prodigious number of poems and songs and newspaper articles, gave many public speeches, read voraciously, played chess, engaged in rough-and-tumble politics, and often out of curiosity attended Catholic and Protestant church services. During the long summer evenings while tending animals high in the Wasatch mountains, he studied the stars, organized debates on current issues, and devised number games and math problems to challenge his mind. Two entries from his journal reflect this interplay of rugged frontiersmanship and relentless inquisitiveness. July 22, 1889, after shearing sheep all day: “At night we had a debate in the tent. Subject: Resolved the Negro has more cause of complaint than the Indian. There were four on a side. The result was 7 to 6 in favor of the affirmative. I was on the losing side.” Nov. 14, 1890. On the way home, “had a horse race with an Indian . . . and at night made a lot of bullets for my rifle. And a few hours were spent in the study of astronomy & theology.” On October 15, 1887, at the age of 21, Booth began attending Brigham Young Academy in Provo. He loved his studies, once writing that the education offered at B.Y.A. was “more precious than Rubies”. His instructors included Abraham O. Smoot, Karl G. Maeser, and the brilliant young English scientist, James E. Talmage who later married May Booth, Wilford’s younger sister. The journals during this period reveal his enthusiasm for learning but also his painful awareness of being a farm boy lacking polish who often doubted whether he belonged there and wondered if he could succeed. Majoring in Pedagogy, he was a diligent, eager student who made many friends, developing along the way a reputation as an orator and comedian. He was selected by his classmates to give the “class humor” speech at graduation ceremonies for BYA. Booth graduated in with a Bachelor of Pedagogy (B. Pd.) in 1896, nine years after he initially enrolled as a freshman. Booth’s delayed graduation can be explained by a phenomenon that continues even today to stretch time to graduation beyond the desired four-years: marriage. At the time he started attending BYA, Joseph was courting Miss Mary Rebecca Moyle, also from Alpine. Reba, as she was often called, was born in Alpine, Utah, on June 28, 1869. Her parents — pioneers who crossed the plains — were Henry Moyle and Mary Moss Moyle. She graduated from high school in Alpine, marrying Wilford in the Logan temple on May 28, 1890. After their marriage, the Booths lived in various places, including Pleasant View, Castle Rock, and Montpelier, Idaho. After moving back to Alpine, they built a new home and Wilford taught school and operated a general store. While Wilford was serving his first mission in the Middle East, they rented out their Alpine home and Reba lived with her relatives. She continued taking classes when possible at BYA, earning her Kindergarten teaching certificate in 1899 and teaching school in Alpine and Provo. These experiences teaching in school and church helped prepare her for leadership and teaching roles in the Turkish-Armenian missions, when she single- handedly established Primary and Relief Society organizations. ~ ~ ~ ~ In the late afternoon heat of August 3, 1898, an “immense crowd” of family and friends gathered to the meeting house block in Alpine, Utah, to honor a young LDS missionary, Joseph Wilford Booth, leaving the next day for his mission to Turkey. Together they picnicked, listened to speeches, sang songs, and engaged in “spirited” dancing. Handshaking, farewells, and kisses were abundant, and the customary collection to support a young elder’s mission yielded the hefty sum of $150. Booth’s subsequent travels took him across two continents and two oceans to Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and from there around Asia Minor to Aleppo, Syria. Booth had no idea that this bustling city, an ancient center of Middle Eastern trade and culture, would become a second home to him and, thirty years later, his final resting place. He eventually served three missions in the Middle East totaling seventeen years, during which he five times made the arduous trip across North America, the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, the Mediterranean, and Asia Minor; preached the restored gospel across the length and breadth of the Ottoman Empire, traveling by foot, horse, donkey, carriage, boat, car, train, and even bicycle; saved the lives of many Armenian church members after World War I; and meticulously wrote his observations in journals that would prove to be a rich repository of information about LDS church history and Middle Eastern social history in the late 19th and early 20th century. His journey from Alpine to Aleppo turned out to be physical, spiritual, and historical in nature, a watershed event that changed the course of his life, shaped the future of the Armenian members with whom he labored, and, long after his death, acted as a catalyst in establishing the Church and his alma mater, Brigham Young University, in the Middle East. ~ ~ ~ ~ Joseph Wilford Booth served for seventeen years during his three missions to the Middle East: from 1898-1902 as a proselyting elder, and from 1903-1909 and 1921-1928 as president. His wife, Reba Booth, served for ten years (1903-1909 and 1924-1928) with her husband while he was presiding over the mission and was the only sister missionary during that time. The Booths’ mission experiences following World War I are particularly noteworthy. In 1921, three years after the end of the war, Booth approached the First Presidency about providing help for the members in Turkey who had been sending letters pleading for assistance. In response, President Heber J. Grant called Booth as president of the newly named Armenian Mission and gave him the charge “to go to Turkey to carry help to the Saints there”. When President Booth arrived in the Middle East in November 1921, he found the mission in total disarray and ravaged by war: the number of church members was depleted by death, emigration, and deportation, and those who remained were scattered, lonely, and suffering from disease and starvation. One of the Armenian saints, a young man named Reuben Ouzounian, states in his autobiography that “all the Aintab Branch presidency lost their lives, as did a great many of the members.” He adds that “at times, the people had to eat the leaves of trees” to survive. Rather than pursuing normal ecclesiastical and missionary activities, then, Booth focused his efforts on dealing with problems of disease, poverty, illiteracy, and unemployment among church members. In December 1921, because of continued threats against Armenians and the dangers posed by the Turkish civil war, Booth petitioned General De Lamothe of France (which controlled Syria and parts of southern Turkey in the post-war mandate period) to evacuate LDS church members from Aintab, Turkey to Aleppo, Syria where they could be given proper care and safekeeping. The general was reluctant at first to approve Booth’s request and set a precedent that would “stir up strife” with other groups, but he finally relented. Booth noted in his journal: “I have prayed almost night and day for the Lord to open the way for us to rescue the Saints, and they in Aintab have fasted for 8 days so they write, and I surely felt to thank God for his answer to my prayers when the General at last said, ‘We will grant you permission to bring the 50.’” President Booth next turned his energies to the logistical challenges of transporting the members (including small children and women in poor health) and their household goods over sixty miles of wintry muddy roads to Aleppo. As preparations for departure neared completion, Booth began to have some second thoughts about the wisdom of this move, but these doubts quickly passed: “No persuasion could change the desire of the Saints to get out of the country in which they had seen so much suffering and bloodshed.” Booth then returned to Aleppo to prepare for the arrival of the Saints from Aintab, and to his great satisfaction was able to rent eight rooms with a communal kitchen and outdoor bathrooms in a building called Khan Jebria. On Friday evening, December 16, the train of 10 wagons and 57 people arrived in Aleppo after a grueling four-day journey from Aintab. Of the safe arrival of the little convoy he later wrote with satisfaction and gratitude: All was confusion in mud and rain, but we finally settled down for the night. I am now thankful to the Lord for his mercy unto us. He has guided and controlled affairs for us in answer to our fastings and prayers in such a marvelous manner that I am truly anxious to manifest my gratitude and heartfelt thanks and praise unto Him who has led the little flock out of the danger of death and destruction which seems to be hanging over the city of once proud now almost ruined Aintab. This exodus from Aintab was subsequently viewed by the Armenian Saints as a miraculous event in Church history – a “manifestation of God’s power and goodness” as Booth said – and was commemorated each year on December 16 in programs featuring original plays, poems, songs, essays, and stories written by the Armenian members. Booth’s final journal entry, dated December 3, 1928, reflects the energy, industry, and selflessness that had characterized his life of 62 years. It reads: “Was busy all day with checking, packing, and shipping the rugs.” Just below, written in Sister Booth’s hand, is this touching note: “My dear husband, Joseph Wilford Booth, passed away Dec. 5, 1928, at Aleppo, Syria.” President Booth was buried in Aleppo next to one of his own missionaries, Elder Emil Huber, whose funeral he had supervised twenty years earlier. Booth’s own words, written in tribute to the four LDS missionaries who had died in the Middle East, apply now to him and make a fitting epitaph: "We do not complain that they are here, neither do I think their loved ones at home feel that any slight has been intended. It seems more like the ruling of a wise Providence to allow their bodies to rest here under the dew and the sod, 'that their monuments might perpetuate their work in bearing witness of the truth.' . . . Each one has gained a good name, better than precious ointment. Each died in honor and in the harness of the priesthood, and surely the rest of each will be a glorious one." ~ ~ Alice Louise Reynolds Lecture, BYU, April 3, 2002: “From Alpine to Aleppo: The Booth Journals as Chronicle and Catalyst of LDS Growth in the Middle East” By James A.

When you come to the end of your high school days,
And you look back over the years
Of work filled with pleasure and friendships gay,--
Do your eyes fill with parting tears?
As you think what the end of your high school days
May mean to a student true,
As commencement comes with its brighter day,
And your mates say good-bye to you.

Well, this is the end of your high school years,
As we near the college, too;
And it brings resolves that are high and clear
To fulfil ideals true,
And whether we meet our friends more,
These memories will never fade;
And the joys we have shared in the years before
Still shall hold the dear friendships made.
