[as of 2000]. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS BIOGRAPHY: Charles Redd was born in Bluff, Utah, on May 8, 1889, the sixth of eight children of Lemuel Hardison Redd, Jr., and Eliza Ann Westover. Charles, always referred to as "Charlie," spent his childhood and youth in Bluff on the San Juan River in southeastern Utah. He attended Brigham Young High School [BYH Classes of 1911 and 1914] in Provo, Utah, where he studied agriculture and business, and was active in sports, politics, and debate. He served a proselyting mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Pacific Northwest from 1911 to 1913, and then returned to Provo to finish high school at BYH. He next went to La Sal, in southeastern Utah, to manage the newly purchased La Sal Livestock Company. Charlie expanded the ranch and eventually assumed full ownership of it and successor Redd ranches. An active manager, Charlie Redd hired the men, kept the accounts, and supervised the irrigation and haying operations. He watched over the herds of sheep and cattle as well as the lambing and calving and shearing operations, hauled salt and supplies, and built fences, sheds, and corrals. He built a store and was local postmaster for fifty years. He also operated a car and farm implement dealership. Through hard work, frugality, and wise investment, he improved the quality of his herds and expanded into western Colorado. Redd helped organize and then presided over the National Wool Marketing Association; he was chairman of the Utah Water and Power Board; and a director of Utah Power and Light Company, Amalgamated Sugar Company, and Pacific National Life Assurance Company. Active in politics, he was elected to three terms in the Utah Legislature (1923-31) and was a delegate to three national Republican party conventions. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of Utah State University, and the Regional Executive Committee of the Boy Scouts of America. He entertained important foreign visitors and was awarded the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to and friendship with Great Britain. On a local level, Redd was President of the State Bank of San Juan, President of the first BLM Advisory Board, and a director of the Grayson Cooperative Company, the Blanding Irrigation Company, and the Federal Land Bank. In 1972 Charles Redd established the Lemuel H. Redd Chair in Western History and the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University. He read widely, traveled extensively, and encouraged independent thought on religion, politics, and economics. He was good-natured, democratically minded, and helpful. He was a conservationist of the land and water, and inaugurated grass seeding and water development programs. He was applauded by the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, and other ranchers. Charles Redd and his wife, Annaley Naegle Redd, had eight children. He died in Provo, Utah, on March 30, 1975. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE: Annaley Naegle Redd was a prominent southeastern Utah rancher and philanthropist, and the wife of Charles Redd. Annaley was born in the Mormon colonies [specifically Colonia, Morelos] in Mexico on August 27, 1910, to John Conrad Naegle and Millicent Dorothy Jameson Naegle. Her family was forced to leave Mexico two years later during the Mexican revolution. Once back in the United States, her father provided no support, material or emotional, to Annaley and her mother, a plural wife, even when the families lived in the same town. Despite economic hardships, Annaley Naegle graduated from Ammon, Idaho High School, near Idaho Falls, in 1928. She then attended BYU in the fall of 1928. Her younger sister, Pearl Naegle, lived with her in Provo and attended BY High. Annaley graduated from BYU in 1930 with a normal certificate, then began teaching school in La Sal, Utah, where she had relatives. She worked in the Redd store and post office, and acted as secretary to Charles Redd and later married him. She married Charles Redd On August 29, 1931, in Layton, Davis County, Utah. She worked as a partner in Charlie's cattle company including the duties of cook, store keeper, and secretary. When bankers came to foreclose on the ranch during the 1930s, Annaley's famous cooking, especially her "prairie fire" beans, helped save the ranch. Charlie suffered a stroke in 1972, and Annaley cared for him until his death in 1976. Annaley had a love of family and history. She and Charlie raised eight children. Annaley purchased her father's Naegle family home, a historic winery in Toquerville, Utah, and restored it. Her father died in 1928 in Toquerville. She belonged to literary clubs and enjoyed reading. She passed away on August 19, 2000 in Provo, Utah. Children: Katheryn Anne Redd Mullins (Gary), Solvang, California; Charles Hardison Redd (Sonya), La Sal, Utah; Annaley Redd (died in infancy); Robert Byron Redd (Mary), Provo, Utah; Paul David Redd (Diane), Paradox, Colorado; Maraley Redd Rasmussen (Richard), Winnetka, Illinois; Beverly Redd Woods (Loyd), Mapleton, Utah; Regina Redd Mitchell (James), North Salt Lake, Utah; Rebecca Sue Redd Lambert (Brian), Mapleton. ~ ~ ~ ~ Charlie Redd is the subject of a book, Utah's Audacious Stockman: Charlie Redd, by Leonard J.

He has taught at Brigham Young University since -- almost a half century of service to that institution. Students trained by Dr. Vasco M. Tanner are to be found in most of the fifty states and in a number of foreign countries, and the department he built up at Brigham Young University is favorably known everywhere. Vasco has not confined his work to research and teaching, however. His activities have reached into such fields as wild life and wise use of natural resources, state parks and recreation, fisheries, city planning and city utilities, and national forests. He spent one term in the state legislature (1962-64), was a member of Chamber of Commerce committee of Provo for thirty years, and took an active part on the boards of health and hospital boards in the city. There were many more activities but space will not permit enumeration. Honors came to him in an ever increasing stream as the years passed. In 1959 he was given the Distinguished Service Award, Utah Academy of Science, Arts, and Letters. This was followed by being made a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society of London. The James E. Talmage Scientific Award was bestowed on him in 1968. There were many such honors. ____________________ Tanner, Vasco (1892-____) Thamnophis elegans vascotanneri Tanner and Lowe, 1989 --1892 Born October 29, Payson Utah. --1909 Graduated Fairview School, attended Brigham Young High School --1912 Finished H.S. at Mount Pleasant --1915 AB, Brigham Young University --1917 Married Annie Atkin June 5 with whom he would have Carol, Gloria, Marilyn, Carmela, and V Jordan. --1916-1923 Taught at Dixie College in St. George. --1920 MA, University of Utah --1925 Chairman of Zoology and Entomology, Brigham Young University where he served for nearly 50 years --1926 Ph.D., Stanford. --1962-1964 One term in Utah state legislature --He was a member of Chamber of Commerce committee of Provo for thirty years, and took an active part on the boards of health and hospital boards in the city.
