Todd Randall Williams, beloved father, son, and brother, passed away March 17, 2014 in Orem, Utah. Todd was born September 23, 1956 in Provo, Utah to Harold Orval "Hal" Williams and Doremis "Dee" E. Sumter. As he grew to a young man, he developed a love of basketball and tennis. He was a state champion tennis player and All-State basketball player for Orem High School.

During this time he also developed property that was owned by his grandfather, Roy Sumter, along the Provo River, now known as Country River Estates. Todd loved to fly fish, camp, hunt, and cook. He shared his passion for tennis, basketball, fishing, and music with his children. He loved dogs, and developed a special place in his heart for bull terriers, owning many "bullies" in his lifetime. Above all, he was proud of his seven children. He is survived by his mother, Doremis Sumter Williams, children Brick (Lisa) Williams, Jordan (Ronnie) Tanner, Taylor (Suzy) Williams, and Tanner, Dayle, Jensen, and Tucker Williams. He is also survived by his brother Brad Williams, and sisters Debra Greeff, Kristy Vest, and Shelby Killpack. His seven surviving grandchildren know him as "Grandpa Todd," and he would have greatly enjoyed watching them and future grandchildren grow and experience life. He is preceded in death by his father, Harold "Grandpa Hal" Williams. Todd cherished the joy that music brought to life. In the words of his favorite band, Dream Theater: "Move on, be brave, Don't weep at my grave, Because I am no longer here, But please never let, Your memory of me disappear." Funeral services were held Friday, March 21, 2014 at 12:00 p.m. at Suncrest 5th Ward LDS Building located at 150 N. 400 W. Orem. Interment, Orem City Cemetery.

Class of 1911. David J. Wilson. High School. "Dame nature masked him young, I know/ And I'd be glad to bet,/ That though he's odd and twenty now,/ We have not seen him yet. Well prepared for good luck, he landed the [yearbook] editorship and makes us smile while he probes our sides with honest lies. He thinks it bad taste to tell the whole truth." Source: BYHS Yearbook 1911. ~ ~ ~ ~ Collegiate Grad of BYU, Class of 1914. David J. Wilson. He received an A.B. Degree in 1914. Source: Annual Record, B.Y. University, Book 3, page 124. ~ ~ ~ ~ Judge David John Wilson was born October 27, 1887 in Midway, Wasatch County, Utah. His parents were James Brigham Wilson and Margaret Powell. He married Mary Jacobs on May 31, 1916 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He died on April 23, 1976. ~ ~ ~ ~ 1948 ELECTIONS IN UTAH: U.S. Representative Walter K. Granger, Democrat, runing for his fifth term, defeated his Republican rival David J. Wilson for the second time. Granger had always voted for liberal measures, and his work on the House Agricultural Committee, where he was a chairman or a member of three subcommittees important to Utah interests, had been acceptable to farmers. ~ ~ ~ ~ BACKGROUND: The first BYH alumnus and Latter-day Saint appointed as judge of a specialized U.S. Court was David J. Wilson of Ogden. He was appointed to the U.S. Customs Court in 1954 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Wilson was generally thought to have been miscounted out of a Utah congressional race. Watkins proposed that Wilson be awarded a judgeship, even though he was well into his 60s. Watkins was told that this was the first Republican President in twenty years, Eisenhower had to appoint young judges to be sure they had long tenure in case the Republicans could not retain the White House. Watkins wouldn’t take no for an answer, however. He repeatedly insisted that since Wilson was an outstanding lawyer and had been cheated out of his election to Congress, that it was imperative that he be offered a judgeship. He finally wore the White House down and obtained the judgeship for Wilson. Even though Wilson was 67 when he entered the court in New York City, he was healthy and stayed on the Court for 12 years. By Mark W. Cannon ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE'S OBITUARY: Mary J. Wilson, age 94, died Tuesday, May 29, 1990, two days short of her 74th wedding anniversary. She was born in Ogden, Utah on February 17, 1896 to Henry Chariton and Emma Rigby Jacobs, the seventh of 13 children. On May 31, 1916, she married David J. Wilson [BYH Class of 1911]. The next three years were spent in Berkley, California, where her husband received his Doctor of Juris Prudence in 1919. The family then returned to Ogden where their five children were educated through public schools. Mother was proud of her home economic skills and became renowned for her candy recipes. She was totally loyal and supportive of her husband in all his ventures in his profession, church, politics and family life. Music always gave her great pleasure and she was actively involved in all aspects of it in the Ogden 12th Ward and at home. He church interests were legend, with Relief Society being her favorite, due to its service role and to the fact that her grandmother, Zina D. H. J. Young, had been the second general president of the Relief Society. She was appointed to the R. S. General Board in 1947 and served under President Belle Spafford until 1954. That year her husband received an appointment from President Eisenhower to the U. S. Custom Court through the nomination by his close friend, Senator Arthur V. Watkins. The next 12 years were spent in New York City where they worked, entertained, traveled and developed together. She was appointed to the American Mothers Committee, rising to the office of Secretary and made lifelong contacts there. In 1966 Judge Wilson retired from the bench and became a senior judge in Salt Lake City. There home, again, became a social center for friends and relatives. In 1976, her husband died and she spent the next 14 years either in her condo or with members of her family. Her last year was passed in a retirement home where omnipresent love was felt by all other tenants. She truly was a woman who felt everyone deserved to be loved. She is survived by one daughter, three sons and their families, O. Meredith and Marian W. Wilson, Eugene, Oregon; D. Jay and Blanche P. Wilson, Ogden, Utah, now on a mission in Invercargill, New Zealand; L. Keith and Margaret W. Wilson, Salt Lake City; Don B. Wilson, Ogden, Utah; and a son-in-law, Loren C. Barlow, Eugene, Oregon, whose wife Margaret died last year [1989]; 24 grandchildren; 85 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.

Her parents were James Brigham Wilson and Margaret Powell She died on April 1, 1963 in Provo, Utah. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. ~ ~ ~ ~ Isabel (Isabella)(Isabelle) Ethel Wilson married Wayne Brockbank Hales, BYU Physics and Mathematics teacher, 1914 to the 1970s. Wayne B. Hales was a beloved teacher and well-respected scientist. But the journey wasn't easy. At a young age, following the death of his mother, he worked with his father in the Tintic Mines near Eureka, Utah, and saved his money to someday attend BYU. Brightening his early life were his love for and success in athletics and his participation in Utah's first Boy Scout troop, interests that would last throughout his life. At BYU he was a four-year letterman in track and basketball and his record in cross-country remained unbroken for 10 years. He served as the Scoutmaster of the first troop in Provo and stayed close to Scouting throughout his life, receiving the Silver Beaver in 1942. At BYU Hales quickly distinguished himself as a student and showed an inclination toward the sciences, especially physics. He also participated in the debating and science clubs and was elected president of his sophomore and senior classes. Upon graduation, Hales took a position at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho, where he taught physics and mathematics for five years. In 1920 he took on administrative responsibilities as a counselor in the school presidency. His dedication, academic abilities, and commitment to the gospel caught the eye of Church Commissioner of Education Adam S. Bennion, and at age 27 Hales was appointed President of Snow College in Ephraim, Utah. Despite heavy responsibilities Hales was always looking to broaden and deepen his education. Between 1918 and 1926 he studied at different times at the University of Chicago, the University of Utah, and the California Institute of Technology. His studies earned him master's and PhD degrees in physics and provided him the tutelage of two Nobel Prize winners--Albert A. Michelson and Robert A. Millikan. After finishing his PhD, Hales decided he would not seek further administrative positions because he did not like the "lonesome feeling". In 1930 he was offered a position teaching physics at BYU, where he would inspire students for some 42 years. In 1933 he provided help to BYH students in producing their Wildcat yearbook. At first he taught all of the physics classes. He would eventually take on classes such as meteorology, astronomy, photography, and mechanics, as well as mathematics at all levels. His fervent teaching style and dedication to students attracted many to his classes, and his pioneering efforts in photography led to his being dubbed the "Father of Photography at BYU." Over the years, Hales served as chairman of the Physics Department and the first dean of the General College. His leadership also extended into the ecclesiastical structure of BYU; he was bishop of two campus wards and president of two student stakes. ~ ~ ~ ~ Wayne Brockbank Hales was born on December 20, 1893 in Spanish Fork, Utah. He died on May 3, 1980. Interment, Provo, Utah. His parents: Jonathan Hyrum Hales and Martha Ann Brockbank. He first married Isabel (Isabella) Ethel Wilson on September 20, 1916 in Salt Lake City. He second married Vivian Smart Parkinson [BYH Class of 1912] on July 2, 1965 in Salt Lake City, Utah [See also Lester Rogers Taylor, BYH Class of 1912]. ~ ~ ~ ~ Children of Wayne Brockbank Hales and Isabel Wilson Hales: Dr. J.

Jay Lee Wilson, who was born May 12, 1940 in Leland, Utah. His parents are George Lee Wilson and Ellen A. Thomas Wilson. Jay Lee Wilson died on March 8, 2004. ~ ~ ~ ~ OBITUARY FOR JAY LEE WILSON: Jay Lee Wilson, age 63, peacefully returned to his Heavenly Father on Monday, March 8, 2004. His beautiful wife, Barbara, and their family were by his side. Jay was born May 12, 1940 in Leland, Utah to George Lee and Ellen Wilson. Jay loved his country. He was proud to represent it by serving as a member of the U.S. Army for six years. On February 3, 1962, he married his sweetheart, Barbara Lynn Balog. Their marriage was solemnized June 13, 1970 in the Manti LDS Temple. They are blessed with six children. He was a devoted husband and father. Jay was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served faithfully in numerous callings. Jay and his wife especially enjoyed their time as temple workers. Jay was employed by the Union Pacific Railroad as a car man for 32 years before he retired in 1998. He was recently honored for 20 years of dedicated service as a Salem City Volunteer Fireman. He was known as the "Grandpa Fireman". Jay and his wife Barbara were original members of the Salem Ambulance Association. They joined as first responders in February 1987 and in 1987 they both received their EMT Basic. In 1991 Jay received his EMT Intermediate. He was an EMT instructor and also a CPR instructor serving from 1987 to the present time. Jay was honored as EMT of the Year in 2002. He has held leadership positions including Lieutenant and Training Officer for the Association. In 1993, Jay became certified in Defib. During the last seventeen years he was a responsible and dedicated member of the Salem Medical Association. Jay's love was serving others. Jay will be remembered for his walks through the town. The kids in the neighborhood had him timed so they could be ready and waiting to wave "Hi", knowing they would get a big grandpa smile and a wave back. He was an avid fan of the BYU Cougars, and loved camping and four-wheeling in the mountains with his family. He never missed the opportunity for a good water fight, most of the time being the instigator, of course. Jay had such a big heart and found enjoyment and fulfillment in serving others selflessly without a single thought of being recognized for it. Jay is survived by his wife, Barbara, of 42 years; his children: Kim (Kevin) Lloyd, Springville; Mindy (Paul) Lemon, Salem; Amie (Melvin) Sweatfield, Heber; Marcy (Zane) Baker, Salem; Jeff (Joelle) Wilson, Salem; Jason (Lacy) Wilson, Santaquin; 15 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; two brothers and one sister: Blaine Wilson of Payson; Leon Lewis of Hinckley; and Kathryn Manis of Las Vegas. He was preceded in death by his parents; one sister, Irene Christensen; and his two grandsons, Tyler Wilson and Kaydon Wilson. Funeral services were held Friday, March 12, 2004 in the Salem 4th Ward Chapel, 25 West Apple Blossom Way. Interment, Salem City Cemetery. [Deseret News, Wednesday, March 10, 2004.]

The related Awards Program is also attached. The class lists are not entirely complete. The name of a Kathryn Koester who married in the senior year and may have graduated elsewhere or later comes to mind. It is interesting to note the comparison of composition of the class in the latter case. It was in the 1956 - 57 period that the then new Provo High School opened and created a different dynamic in the town for attending Provo High or BY High. While we picked up some new senior high classmates, our senior graduating class was smaller than many previous. It was particularly hard for the athletic teams to compete against the now larger county schools. "Massacre" is not a superlative word. It led to some long veiled, but festering animosities. I also include a copy of the Seminary graduation program for the 1958 year. Seminary only needed three years classwork for graduation so with many Class of 1959 starting Seminary in the ninth coming to eleventh grade, the ranks were swelled. The BYU Laboratory schools were great institutions. It is too bad to have focused them on young people instead of on older people who could have been more appreciative in the time. But such is the nature of life. When we are young, lacking wisdom and having the greatest needs, we have the fewest resources. As we age, we have more resources, but fewer needs. The young are foolish, but have great confidence, the old are wise and filled with knowledge, but no one asks for counsel. Thank you for your commitment and effort in this historic preservation effort. Lew Wilson PS. I have yearbooks from 1953 - 1958 for reference if you need something copied from those years.
