A student once tearfully approached Karl A. Miller with news that he was quitting school, lacking the funds to pay for it. Miller, who was overseeing buildings and grounds at Brigham Young University at the time, would not hear of it. I said, go home and get your working clothes on and come with me right now. I am going to give you enough work that you are going to be able to pay your bills, if you are not afraid to work, Miller said. The same student came to Miller years later with happier news: he had received his doctoral degree and been invited to join the faculty at BYU. Miller has spent his life watching and helping the University literally grow from the ground up, and just days before his 100th birthday on Oct. 3, 2003, Miller was honored for his service to the University in front of thousands of people at LaVell Edwards Stadium prior to the BYU football game against Air Force. An old photo in a book Miller wrote titled History of Buildings and Grounds, Brigham Young University shows him as a kindergartner standing in front of the vacant land where the Karl G. Maeser Building -- the first permanent building on the BYU upper campus -- was to be built. In fact, Miller was named after former BYU President Maeser. During his 40-year career at BYU, Miller worked as an assistant superintendent and superintendent of buildings and grounds. He later worked supervising the University heating plant and mechanical shop. His home was located on campus for 23 years. Millers first job related to BYU was cleaning chalk erasers during the fifth grade for 50 cents per week. In sixth grade, he did custodial work. He graduated from Brigham Young High School in 1923 and received his bachelors degree from BYU in 1932. Karl Miller was chosen because we try to find people that have given a great contribution to BYU and that add intrigue, and he certainly does both, said Brian Santiago, BYU associate athletic director over operations. He is 100 years old, still going strong, has watched BYU basically be built since he was a little child and done numerous things to improve the university and the campus. Miller has a plentiful supply of memories regarding his lifelong relationship with BYU. But it is the hundreds of students who worked for him caring for BYU buildings and grounds that make up Millers favorite recollections. Now, that makes me cry, to think that I could help somebody accomplish something in their life, Miller said. [Date of Article: 28 September 2003, written by Christi C. Babbitt, Provo Daily Herald.] PROVO, UTAH - Described as similar to a gigantic family reunion, alumni of Brigham Young University High School, known as BY High, gathered for a three-day combined class reunion recently. Among the more than 600 in attendance were students from the Class of 1923, (Karl Miller, age 93), to the Class of 1968, when the Church-owned high school was closed. The high school started as the Timpanogos Branch of the University of Deseret in 1870. In 1875, it was reorganized as part of the Brigham Young Academy and moved 17 years later in 1892 to 500 North and University Avenue in Provo. Even as late as 1920, BYU enrolled many more students at the elementary and secondary levels than it did in its collegiate courses. The high school provided education majors at BYU a place to do their student teaching. Another combined class reunion is planned for the summer of 2000. [Published in the LDS Church News, Saturday, November 4, 1995.] ~~ At 101, Karl A. Miller is the oldest recipient of the BYU Emeriti Alumni Association Special Recognition Award. He wrote a 365-page book, History of Buildings and Grounds, Brigham Young University, after 50 years in that department. [11 March 2005] ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Karl Albert Miller, age 105, died December 14, 2008, from causes incident to age, as you may guess. He was born in Provo, Utah, October 3, 1903 to Albert Miller (Brigham Young Academy's first professional musician) and Elsa Miller. Karl attended BYU schools from kindergarten through a Bachelor's Degree and nearly completed his Master's. He was on the BYU 1928 livestock judging team with Ezra Taft Benson. He began working for BYU when he was in the fifth grade, and later worked professionally in the Buildings and Grounds Department for forty years (eight of those years as superintendent). He considered providing students with employment and encouragement while they were completing college degrees to be one of his important missions in life. He managed to keep the buildings clean and warm during the depression and through a coal strike. Karl was present when Joseph F. Smith placed the cornerstone and time capsule in the Maeser Building at BYU, and he resolved a tragic situation, during a 1975 centennial celebration, when he opened the capsule with an old fashioned can opener. For many years, Karl ran generators to provide electricity at Aspen Grove for the annual Timp Hike Program. He donated his time to install the first sprinkler system at Provo LDS Tabernacle, was on the selection committee for the girls' camp at MIA Shalom, and supervised the building of the first cabins there. He was active in the LDS Church serving in bishoprics, on a high council for 15 years, and in the Provo Temple. While in high school, Karl rang the Y bell for class changes. In 1954, he supervised the repair work of the bell after it cracked when it was improperly rung. Karl felt highly honored when he was asked to "Light The Y" at a BYU football game on September 23, 2003, when the BYU Class of 1949 honored him in October 2004, and when he was presented a BYU Emeriti Alumni Association Award in 2005. He was an avid BYU sports fan! Karl enjoyed attending six annual centenarian celebrations hosted by three different governors of Utah. On June 24, 1931 Karl married Frances Augusta Crocheron in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and they were married two weeks short of sixty-nine years when Frances died. They are the parents of three sons: Reed (Opal), Grant (Judy), and Glen (Geri). They raised two nieces who were considered their daughters: Joyce Weight and Evelyn (Richard) Dalebout. Funeral services were held Saturday, December 20, 2008 in the chapel at 100 West 800 North, Provo. Interment, Provo Cemetery. [Provo Daily Herald, December 17, 2008.]

She attended Brigham Young University where she earned her teaching certificate and began her teaching career in Greenwich, Utah. After their marriage, she and her husband both finished their education at the University of Utah. Her thirst for knowledge and love for teaching never diminished throughout the years as she influenced the lives of countless people, both young and old.
