Knighton, M.D. LeGrand H. Hardy died on April 14, 1954, at the age of fifty-nine, after a long cardiac illness. To those of us who knew him well, the felling of personal loss was made all the more poignant by the memory of his restless energy, his insatiable curiosity, and his sympathetic understanding in time of trouble. Superficially gruff and austere, he was a delight to be with in the full acceptance of friendship. Nothing was ever done in half measure, and if his companions were left a little breathless after a session of philosophy, religion, art, science, or pure fantasy, it was worth it to see his facile mind at work. His interests were universal, and it was difficult to find a topic with which he was not only conversant but unusually well-informed. His was a heritage of high moral values which he cherished and developed to the point of intellectual fearlessness. There was no room for ostentation or sham, and if he condemned these in others it was only a reflection of his own self-discipline. This included a blanket denial of innate goodness, for he knew his short-comings and just wanted to be liked in spite of them. Even at an early age a great intellectual future was predicted for him. Born in Provo City, Utah, he was graduated from Brigham Young University in 1916. It is interesting to note that his maternal grandfather [A. O. Smoot] was responsible, in large part, for the organizing and financing of this institution. Graduate study at the University of Chicago followed, then a Bachelor of Science degree from Columbia University in 1919 and a Doctor of Medicine in 1921. Postgraduate study in Germany and Switzerland completed his formal education. He continued his informal self-education for the rest of his life, with an enthusiasm that welcomed any new idea and extracted the last bit of interest from it. Like many able people, he did not confine himself to scholastic achievements but took a big part in extra-curricular activities. It was the world about him that was exciting. Always interested in the out-of-dooors and any challenge that it presented, he was a member of the small party that was the first to climb Mt. Moran of the Teton range in Wyoming. This was followed by the ascent of other mountains in Utah, and even in recent years he returned whenever possible to the hills that he loved. As a young boy he was a good cowpuncher. Later he worked in the mines and became expert in the handling of dynamite. He was always proficient in the use of tools of trade, and, among other things, he learned to cut stone, engrave metals, and bind books like a professional. Careful and painstaking in his own work, he respected and learned from any craftsman who did a good job. It was characteristic of him that he did not feel qualified to be a Boy Scout leader until he could surpass all scouts under him in attaining Merit Badges. He was among the first organizers of the Boy Scout movement in Utah. At the time of his death he was Clinical Professor of Opthalmology in the College of Physicans and Surgeons of Columbia University, Associate Attending Ophthalmologist of Presbyterian Hospital, and Director of Knapp Memorial Physiological Optics Laboratories. He was a member of the American Opthalmological Society, of the New York Academy of Medicine, the New York Opthalmological Society, the Association for Research in Opthalmology, the American Academy of Opthalmology and Otolaryngology, a Diplomate of the American Board of Opthalmology, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Previous hospital connections included the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Northern Dispensary, Mid-Town Hospital, Fifth Avenue Hospital as Director of Opthalmology, and finally, the Institute of Opthalmology and Vanderbilt Clinic of Presbyterian Hospital. During World War II he served with the Office of Scientific Research and Development of the Armed Forces. His written contributions to opthalmology were not numerous, but they were respected for their quality. His main interests lay in the field of physiological optics, and he was engaged in a study of the geometry of binocular space perception for the Office of Naval Research. His most recent contribution, just published, deals with color anomalies and their detection. A pioneer in orthopitic training, he was President jof the Orthoptic Council, which he founded in 1938, for about ten years. In 1932 he married Susanna Haigh, who survives him. We mourn the loss of an eminent ophthalmologist; we miss the man. [Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society, 1955; Vol. 53: pages 13–15.]

[John] Edward Johnson, who is an officer of and the attorney for the Pacific Coast Joint Stock Land Bank of San Francisco. He was born in Murray, Utah, October 2, 1890, and is a son of John and Edla (Lundell) Johnson, who were born in Sweden, came to the United States in the late 1880s, and were married in Salt Lake City, Utah. Later the family moved to Utah county, where the father has been in civic and political affairs for many years. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are the parents of ten children, five sons and five daughters, of whom J. Edward is the eldest. J. Edward Johnson attended the grade schools of Benjamin and the high school [Brigham Young High School] in Provo, Utah. He then took up his advanced studies at Brigham Young University, which institution conferred upon him the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1915. He did not secure his education easily, for he was compelled to earn his own way toward the goal he had set for himself in boyhood, namely, to be a successful lawyer. He worked in the mines near Eureka, Utah, during his vacation periods, and taught school. From 1915 to 1917, following his graduation from Brigham Young University, he was principal of the Snowflake Academy in Snowflake, Arizona, and then took up the study of law in the University of California. In 1920 he received the degree of Juris Doctor and in the same year was admitted to practice in the state of Utah. He first became a member of the law firm of Booth, Brookbank [Brockbank?] & Johnson in Provo, and retained this connection until 1922, in which year he was admitted to the bar in California. He accepted the position of assistant attorney for the Federal Land Bank of Berkeley, where he remained from 1921 to 1926. In 1922 he became chief counsel for said bank and from 1923 to 1926 was attorney for the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Berkeley. In 1926 he became general counsel and secretary of the Pacific Coast Joint Stock Land Bank, of which he is now a director; and of the Mercantile Mortgage Company, well known corporations of San Francisco. In 1929 he severed his connections with the Mercantile Mortgage Company. Mr. Johnson has given his attention especially to real property and banking law, and is widely regarded as a dependable authority in this phase of his profession. In 1931 he organized the law firm of Johnson, Ruggeri and Harmon, consisting of Mr. Johnson, Henry Ruggeri, and W. Glen Harmon. Mr. Johnson’s rise in the practice of law has been uncommonly rapid, but has been brought about by extraordinary ability and close application. He holds membership in the San Francisco and the California State Bar Associations. His offices are situated in the Federal Reserve Bank building on Sansome street. Mr. Johnson was married June 22, 1916, in Salt Lake City, to Miss Mamie Huish, who was born in Payson, Utah, a daughter of James W. and the late Mary Elizabeth (Fillmore) Huish, who were both members of pioneer families of Utah. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have four children: Robert, who was born October 30, 1918; Marion, born December 16, 1922; Carolyn, born July 13, 1928; and Thomas, born February 7, 1931. The family residence is at 900 Spruce street in Berkeley. Mr. Johnson is a member of the Church of Latter-Day Saints, in the teachings of which he was reared. In politics he has accorded his support to the democratic party, and he belongs to the Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity; to the Alumni Associations of Brigham Young University and the University of California; the University of California Law School Association, and the Pacific Spirit Club of San Francisco. ~ ~ Transcribed by: Jeanne Sturgis Taylor.

Henry Aldous Dixon, President of Utah State Agricultural College, Augugust 1953 to December 1954. Lucile Knowlden was born in Provo on Dec. 9, 1891. Her father was Robert Edwin Knowlden; her mother, Mable Twelves. Lucile grew up in Provo, attended the Maeser School, Brigham Young University High School, and received her normal degree from Brigham Young University. Lucille married Henry Aldous Dixon on June 2, 1915 in Salt Lake City. She taught for two years at the Timpanogos School before her marriage. The Dixons had four daughters and two sons. Before becoming president of USU, Henry had been superintendent of schools in Provo and President of Weber Junior College from 1920-1924 and 1932-1937, then president of Weber State College from 1937 until 1953. He left the presidency of USU after being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives to the Eighty-fourth, Eighty-fifth, and Eighty-sixth Congresses (January 3, 1955 to January 3, 1961). The Dixons lived in Washington, D.C. for six years before returning to Ogden. Lucile was active in the LDS Church. She was president and a member of the board of directors for the Children's Aid Society, a member of the Acacia Club, and Children's Hour Club. She served as president of Weber College Faculty Women and was a charter member of the Nelke Reading Club of Provo. Lucile loved gardening, growing plants indoors and out. She especially enjoyed African violets and while she lived on campus the university horticulture group regularly brought her fresh flowers. In gathering information for her book on the president's house, Alice Chase learned from Mrs. Dixon that her "heart sank at the prospect of moving into" the president's home. The Dixon's had at that time a new house in Ogden. The president's house had purportedly been neglected and the trustees decided to "recondition" the house rather than build a new house. Despite her initial impressions, Lucile told Alice that "living there proved to be a delightful experience." Lucile Knowlden Dixon died on Dec. 13, 1986 in Ogden. She was 95 years old.
