Albert and Sarah Jones

Circa BYA Class of 1889. Albert Stephen Jones. Albert was born on January 15, 1871 in Provo, Utah, to Samuel Stephen Jones and Julia B. Ipson Jones. Albert married Sarah Elizabeth Fletcher Jones in 1897. Albert died on July 1, 1962 in Provo, Utah. His wife, Sarah, died in 1966. They are both buried in the Provo City Cemetery. ~ ~ ~ ~ News Article: On Tuesday, Feb. 2, 1960 Universe Feature Editor Chris Allred wrote about a Cougar basketball fan couple who attended Brigham Young Academy and the Church Normal School when Karl G. Maeser was teaching. Within the article, the couple talks about their time at school and how the campus has changed since the late 1800s. ~ ~ ~ ~ Memories, Memories — Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jones, Provo residents, look over their long life together. Jones went to Brigham Young Academy when there were only seven faculty members and a few dozen students in the school. “We still go to every basketball game, never miss one,” said two of Brigham Young University’s oldest living graduates and loyal fans. Albert Jones, 89, and his wife Sarah, 86, are given a season ticket to all Y games by their children each year. “There were no team sports when we went to school,” said Mr. Jones, “Only games we played were at noon-time so we are making up for what we missed.” During the Jones’ school years, the BYU was called the Brigham Young Academy and the Church Normal School. Mrs. Jones explained that “Normal” was a term describing a two-year course designed to educate teachers. After graduation the teacher was placed in one of the district schools. “We met in the Old Chamber of Commerce building where the Farmers and Merchants bank is now located,” continued Jones. “There were two rooms downstairs for classes and a hall and theater upstairs.” All plays, activities and dances were held in the upper story. “I remember Brother Karl G. Maeser well,” he reminisced. “He taught the theology classes and higher group courses.” Besides President Maeser, there were seven other faculty members, he recalled. Mr. Jones relates that the school day would begin with a song and prayer, then theology and following that the regular classes. “We didn’t have any high schools then. The Academy taught grades from the ‘Fifth Primer’ to graduation,” he said. “I remember one day when the students came to school — and no school,” Jones remarked. “During the night the old building had burned down!” In the next few years, he said, school was held in the Old Provo Tabernacle and ZCMI warehouse. “People thought it was real crazy to build the new school on 6th North and University, clear out of town.” In 1892, when the Academy, with Benjamin Cluff at the head, moved to the present site of lower campus, it was some blocks outside the town. “You have a beautiful campus on the hill, now,” put in Mrs. Jones. Her statement reminded Mr. Jones of a prophecy he had heard Brigham Young make once that the hill where upper campus is now situated would one day be the site of a temple. “I always called it Temple Hill,” he said, “Because all that is up there are temples of learning.” When questioned about his major, Jones replied, “I just took general courses like reading and writing and history. We didn’t have the same organization that you have.” He served a mission for the Church in the Tonga Islands and has presented a rare Tongan Bible and a Tongan-English dictionary to the BYU Library. He has also presented the University with a bust of Brigham Young. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were married in 1897 and have celebrated 62 anniversaries. They have four children, 13 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren, many of whom have attended BYU. The article in its original paper layout can be found here.

He was preceded in death by his parents and survived by his wife, and children: Sandi (Brian) Jones, J Clark (Jana) Jones, Bobby (Jeri) Jones, Quinton (Janelle) Jones, Patricia Parry, his brother Mike (Joan) Jones, and sisters Catherine (Tom) Smith and Rebecca Shepherd. Steve is also the loving grandfather of 16 grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He was an active member of the LDS church and served faithfully in any calling he was asked to serve. Steve had a love for teaching and dedicated his life to teaching the Gospel, by both word and in example, to all those he came in contact with. Steve worked in the Church Education System for nearly 40 years, beginning as a seminary teacher, an institute teacher and director, and finally as an Executive Administrator at the LDS Church Headquarters. Steve's love for teaching was partnered with a love for learning. He graduated from BY High in 1955, earned a Bachelor's Degree and a Masters Degree from BYU, and his Doctorate of Education from the University of Georgia. He served LDS Missions in the Southern Australia Mission from 1958 to 1960 and with his dear wife in Samoa from 2000 to 2001. Throughout his life Steve looked for opportunities to serve others. He spent countless hours assisting in the community as a BSA Advancement Chairman, the Director of Baseball for the city of Fruit Heights, a temple worker in the Bountiful LDS Temple and the Apia Samoa LDS Temple. He also spent many hours attending BYU football and basketball games, fishing, working in his wood shop, serving his neighbors, and most of all, his family. It is an honor and a blessing to have lived with him, to have known him, and to be loved by him.
