Our much loved father, son, brother, husband, James (Jim) Harold McEwan, 58, unexpectedly returned home to our Heavenly Father on March 4, 2007. Jim was born on April 8, 1948 in Provo to Junius Harold and Lois Dixon McEwan. He grew up in Orem, attended and graduated from Orem High School in 1965. He served in the National Guard during the Vietnam War. He married Dorcus Rita Fowers on July 1, 1970 in the Idaho Falls, Idaho Temple for time and all eternity. From that beautiful union, seven beloved children were born: Sandra Lee, Tamara Lynn, Melissa Ann, Cynthia Kay, Richard James, John Robert, and Steven Scott. Dorcus died August 15, 1993 in Highland, Utah. We take great comfort in knowing that he is reunited with Dorcus, his loving and eternal companion. He married Jeanice Fox Asay on December 1, 1994 in the Salt Lake City, Utah Temple for time. From that union, one sweet child was born: Jaron Fox. Jim and Jeanice divorced. Jim married Betty Marvin on June 17, 2006 in the majestic outdoors under a beautiful apple tree. From the union, three wonderful children were embraced: William Ray Smith, Kathryn Ann (Smith) Young, and Vance Ivan Marvin; and two beautiful grandchildren. He was a very successful and legendary baker for his entire adult life. He worked for Albertson's for more than 20 years as a baker and bakery manager. In 1990, Jim and Dorcus opened a bakery of their own which he operated until the spring of 1996. He sold the bakery to his daughter and son-in-law and moved to Salina, Utah to work as the Bakery Manager at the Thriftway grocery store in Gunnison, Utah. In the summer of 1999, he moved to Salmon, Idaho to work at Saveway as the Bakery Manager, where he worked until June 2006. Jim was a sensitive and compassionate husband, a good father, and a wonderful provider to his family. He was always willing to lend a hand and help wherever and whenever he was needed; and he "never met a stranger." He had a tremendous passion and respect for nature and loved to spend his spare time experiencing it. He could not get enough of the high country, evergreen forests, the gorgeous full moon, beautiful clouds, crystal clear lakes, magnificent wildlife, and brilliant sunrises and sunsets. He loved his Rock & Roll and he loved it loud! Jim is survived by his parents, Junius Harold and Lois Dixon McEwan; his sister, Linda (Ray) Morgan; his brothers, Alan (Debbi) McEwan, David (Susan) McEwan, and Glen (Gloria) McEwan; his children, Sandra (Trevor) Farley, Tamara (Jason) Gibbons, Melissa McEwan, Cynthia (Rob) Frary, Richard (Amie) McEwan, John (Mykin) McEwan, Steven McEwan, and Jaron McEwan; his step-children, William (Gerry) Smith, Kathryn (Jon) Young, and Vance Marvin; his 12 precious grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Dorcus. Funeral services were held at the Salmon Rivers Funeral Home, 900 Mulkey Street Salmon, Idaho on Friday, March 9, 2007.

BYA Beaver Branch ~ Murdock Academy, Class of 1910. Mabel Frazer. Source: Program, Commencement Exercises, 1910. ~ ~ ~ ~ Mabel Pearl Frazer was born on August 28, 1887 in West Jordan, Salt Lake County, Utah. Her parents were David Ingles Frazer and Mary Woolfenden. She would have been about 23 in 1910 -- college age. ~ ~ ~ ~ Mabel Pearl Frazer (1887-1981) Salt Lake City. Mabel Pearl Frazer is described by Robert S. Olpin as a "mainstay on the University of Utah's Department of Art faculty from 1921 until 1953." Extremely versatile, her teaching responsibilities included no less than nine different subject areas including art history, textile design, sculpture, ceramics, serigraphy, design, painting, landscape painting, and human anatomy. Frazer was born in West Jordan, Utah, on August 28, 1887, but her family soon moved to the small town of Beaver, Utah. The eldest of four children, she valued her education and strongly resented having to put off starting school so she could help with the housework when her younger sister Leha was born. Mabel graduated with honors from what was then the Beaver Branch of the Brigham Young Academy (also known as the Murdock Academy). A very independent personality, she became devoted to art at a very early age. Her sister described her this way: "Her religion and her art took precedence over everything else in her life, she couldn't be bothered with anyone or anything else." Frazer had some early childhood experiences that encouraged her later exploration of many forms of art. Her grandfather was a rock mason, and Mabel made a "nuisance" of herself at the family's rock quarry. Her family also owned a printing office, and it was her responsibility to be the type setter. In addition, her father had a blacksmith shop, a carpentry shop, and what she called a "stone sawmill." Working in and being exposed to a variety of art-related jobs were rich experiences for Mabel, the budding artist. After her graduation from the Academy, she boarded the stage that went to Milford and caught the train to take her to Salt Lake City to attend college. Edwin Evans was her first art professor. She idolized him, and he and his wife became her life-long friends. Mabel Frazer graduated from the University of Utah in 1914. She took a teaching position at Lewis Junior High School in Ogden, just long enough to finance her life-long dream of studying in New York. She studied in New York at the Art Students League under Frank Vincent Drumond. He was so impressed by her that he asked her to teach some of his classes. While in New York, Mabel also took classes at the School of Industrial Art. After returning to Utah in 1918, Frazer began teaching at the College of Southern Utah in Cedar City. She then returned to New York to study at the Beaux Arts Institute of Design. One day, while she was making a copy of Rembrandt's Daughter in Law in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the President of the University of Utah, President Widtsoe, saw her working and invited her to join the art faculty. Mabel Pearl Frazer joined the University of Utah art staff in 1920 and remained there until her retirement 33 years later. She held strong views which she passed on to her students: "An artist must have something to say. Art is just another language and the would-be painter should at least learn the rudiments of the language, color, composition, drawing, etc." She was personally instrumental in expanding the art department to include many new disciplines. She handled many managerial duties but was not appointed to the rank of associate professor until three years before her retirement. At one time, one of her former students, who was not even a college graduate, was appointed over her and was made head of the art department. Frazer believed she was passed over for promotion because she was a woman. Mabel Frazer has been described by some as "not prolific." When her estate was appraised in 1981, it included over 386 works, but most of those were unfinished oil paintings. Her early style was reminiscent of Birger Sandzen, although less fauvist (her colors were not as bright) and more impressionistic (see Sunrise, North Rim Grand Canyon, 1928). However, in 1930 she went to Europe, spending 14 months in Italy where she was influenced by her studies of the old masters and by various artists. However, she clung tenaciously to her own purpose, not allowing herself to be confused by her exposure to a wide array of styles and art. She returned from Europe ready to "resume the struggle with old problems from a new angle," and to be an "American artist." Although she maintained that she did not belong to any school (A group of artists espousing a particular approach and philosophy), while in Europe, Frazer did change her style somewhat, her paintings becoming flatter, with more simplified, angular, and skewed shapes (see Venice Canal, 1930). In an interview published in the November 1933 issue of the Improvement Era (an LDS magazine), she stated her ideology: "The vitality of art is life. All great art must have roots deep in a native soil. It can neither be borrowed nor lent. Things expressed without deep convictions can never be greatly convincing, rarely are they more than bits of superficial pettiness. That briefly, sums up my philosophy of art, and I try to live up to it." Frazer showed her work in Utah, New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Portland, and Florence, Italy. While studying in Florence, two of her Utah paintings were exhibited in the Uffizi gallery. Among her last shows was a retrospective held in 1980; over 200 people attended to honor this Utah artist. She had a long and active artistic career until her death at age 94.

Class of 1939. Ledger Free. He was Student Body President, 1938-1939. Football. Track. Boys' Organization. German Club. Basketball. School Play. Wildcat Yearbook Staff, 1938. Salt Lake Telegram, February 19, 1943. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Ledger D. Free, Jr. ~ December 24, 1921 - April 5, 2015. Ledger D. Free, Jr., 93, of Menlo Park, California, died at home on Easter morning, April 5, 2015, of congestive heart failure. He will be remembered as a man of great energy and integrity, and as a loving, dedicated father and husband, who put family above all else. He was celebrating March family birthdays and speaking French just days before his death. Ledger, or Ledge as many called him, was born on Christmas Eve, 1921 in Casper, Wyoming, the eldest son of the late Ledger Daniel Free and Clara Belle Williams Free. He moved to Provo, Utah, in his teens and attended Brigham Young University High School where he excelled at academics, basketball, football and track, served as the first non-Mormon student body president, and graduated in the Class of 1939. While attending Brigham Young University, his U.S. National Guard unit was activated in March 1941. He served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps from 1941 to 1945, under General Patton's command. His responsibilities and experience as an officer shaped him as a leader and a decision maker for the rest of his life. Ledger's was the first generation in his family to go to college. He graduated from Harvard College in 1947, in the Class of 1948. This experience greatly influenced his life. Coming from a modest background, older than many of his classmates, and hailing from a town of which few had heard, he began to learn to be comfortable with who and what he was on a much bigger stage. He graduated from Stanford University School of Law in 1950. Ledger's budding San Francisco, California law career was cut short when he was recalled for service in the Korean conflict and served in the U.S. Army Air Force in Tacoma, Washington, from 1951 to 1953. While in Cambridge, Massachusetts at Harvard, Ledger met Carol Brennan Fox on a blind date and they were married on June 18, 1948, in Quincy, Massachusetts. After their time in Tacoma, Ledge and Carol returned to the Bay Area and in 1953 moved to San Carlos, where they raised their children until Carol's untimely death in 1962. In 1954, Ledger joined the legal department of the Bank of America in San Francisco. While there he held numerous executive positions until 1966 when he joined The Burke Company as a Director and Vice President of Finance and Administration. Burke supplied equipment and materials for industrial concrete construction. In 1972 he became President and CEO, and in 1980, Chairman of the Board. Under his guidance, Burke grew from a $16 million regional company to a global corporation with $96 million in revenues. He negotiated its sale in December 1986 and served on a number of company boards over the next decade. On another propitious blind date in 1965, Ledger met Dottie. He and Dorothy Ann Clark were married on November 12, 1966 in San Francisco. They enjoyed 48 years of a very happy, full and loving marriage. Ledger's academic and professional accomplishments were an indication of his incredible drive and discipline, but his dedication to giving back and serving his community was equally impressive. He was a trustee on the Bay Area Hospital Planning Commission; he served as President of the San Carlos Elementary School Board and was also a trustee for the United Way Bay Area Crusade and served on its budget committee. In addition to his love of family and his commitment to his career, Ledge had two passions: Harvard and tennis. Harvard College was a transformative experience for him. He felt forever grateful and indebted for the experience. He served as President of the Harvard Club of San Francisco and in several regional and national roles for the alumni association. In 2005, Ledger received the Harvard Alumni Association Award. For many years Ledge could be found most weekends at the Foothills Tennis and Swim Club in Palo Alto, California, where he developed great competitive friendships with his fellow members. His favorite family vacation destination was the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club in La Jolla, California. Ledger lived a full life. He was an avid sports fan, and having seen the Brooklyn Dodgers play the New York Giants at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York, he was thrilled to see his San Francisco Giants have a run of World Series championships. In recent years, from his favorite chair, he enjoyed watching women's college basketball and never tired of correcting the referees with his signature colorful words. Dottie and he traveled extensively during his work years and after his retirement. Ever the learner, he took up French and Russian and read widely. Those who knew Ledger well could see beyond his sometimes gruff exterior and appreciate his wise, loving side that had been shaped by the Depression, war, loss and perseverance. He was a deeply loyal, ethical and patriotic man. Like many of his generation, he had experienced enough to fill several lifetimes. He had a personality and spirit that filled the room, whether it was debating politics or letting loose peals of laughter; he was a force. Ledger will be missed deeply by his family and friends for his humor, his intelligence, his vitality and energy, and his love of family and country. Ledger is survived by his wife, Dottie, his brother Edward, his three children, Karen Free Royce of Greenwich, Connecticut; Doug (Elaine) of Mountain View, California; and Ken (Angela) of San Francisco, California; his four grandchildren: David Brown (Lori), Wesley Royce, Patrick and Sylvan, his great grandson Ezra Fox Brown and several nieces and nephews. His brother Robert predeceased him. Ledger was a past member of the University Club of San Francisco and a member of the Palo Alto Club. As an expression of sympathy, the family suggests a contribution to Harvard University and sent to the Harvard College Scholarship Fund, Recording Secretary's Office, 124 Mount Auburn Street, 4th floor, Cambridge, Massachusetts 021238. in memory of Ledger D.
