Philo and Pem Farnsworth

Class of 1924. Philo Taylor Farnsworth, of Rigby, Idaho. His surname is given in the 1924 BYU Banyan yearbook, BYH section. ~ ~ ~ ~ His full name is given in the Class of 1924. Background sources: BYU/BYH Annual Catalogues for the School Years 1923-24, 1924-25, and 1925-26. ~ ~ ~ ~ Philo Taylor Farnsworth was born on August 19, 1906, Indian Creek, Beaver, Utah. His parents were Lewis Edwin Farnsworth and Serena Amanda Bastian. He married Elma "Pem" Gardner on May 27, 1926, and they had four children. Her parents were Bernard Edward Gardner and Alice Maria Mecham. Philo T. Farnsworth died on March 11, 1971 in Salt Lake City [Holladay], Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILO TAYLOR FARNSWORTH - 1906-1971. Philo T. Farnsworth is best known as the inventor of the purely electronic television system. He drew the first workable television design while a student at Rigby High School in Idaho. A statue placed in Statutory Hall in the Capitol Building at Washington, D.C. on May 2, 1990 is dedicated to the memory of Philo Farnsworth as the “Father of Television.” He was born August 19, 1906 in Beaver, Utah, and educated in Utah and Idaho schools. His parents encouraged his scientific mind; by the age of six, Farnsworth had declared his intentions of becoming an inventor. In 1919 at the age of thirteen, at the Bungalow Ranch near Rigby, Idaho, Farnsworth won a first prize of $25.00 for his theft-proof ignition switch for automobiles. In 1922, at Rigby High School, he developed and sketched his first ideas for the electronic transmission of images for his high school chemistry teacher, Justin Tolman. It is important to consider that radio in 1922 was in its infancy, with only thirty licensed broadcasting stations in the United States. None of these stations were in Idaho; only one was in Utah. Farnsworth graduated from Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah in 1924. He entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, but was granted a release after his father’s death. He attended Brigham Young University, but left at the end of his second year. Farnsworth married Elma “Pem” Gardner on May 27, 1926. Together they moved to Los Angeles, California and Farnsworth joined the Crocker Research Laboratories to work with television technology. At the age of twenty, he produced the first all-electronic television image using his wife as the subject of the image. Farnsworth filed Patent #1,773,980 entitled Television System on January 7, 1927, and was granted the patent on August 25, 1930. By 1929 Crocker Research Laboratories had been renamed Farnsworth Television, Inc., of California. A Russian immigrant, Vladimir Zworykin had also applied for a television patent as early as 1923, and a lawsuit emerged to determine who owned the basic patent for the electronic system that became television. The drawing Farnsworth had given to Mr. Tolman in his 1922 high school chemistry class provided the necessary proof, thereby preserving the television patent rights for Farnsworth. Many have noted that the contributions of Farnsworth’s wife, Pem, were significant. As his assistant during their forty-five year marriage, she took care of all correspondence and became an expert draftswoman, working on many of his drawings. She provided the climate in which Farnsworth could continue his research. At the age of sixty-four, Farnsworth held more than 300 United States and foreign patents, most of which made possible the television industry as we know it. Farnsworth died March 11, 1971. Among many other honors, there is a museum in Rigby, Idaho called “The Birthplace of Television,” which was dedicated to Farnsworth in 1988. In 1983 the U.S. Post Office issued a Philo T. Farnsworth twenty-cent stamp, with the likeness of his face and his first television camera. He was also honored by his induction into the Inventors Hall of Fame and awarded an honorary Doctor of Science Degree at Brigham Young University. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE'S OBITUARY: Elma (Pem) Gardner Farnsworth died quietly at 3 a.m. on Thursday, April 27, 2006 in Bountiful, Utah at the age of 98. Pem was born February 25, 1908 in Jensen, Utah to Alice Mecham and Bernard Gardner, the fourth of nine children. In 1923 the family moved to Provo where she met Philo Farnsworth whom she married on May 27, 1926. They were later sealed for eternity in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Philo (Phil), with the help of Pem and her brother Cliff, created the first working electronic television system in San Francisco in 1927. Pem's face was the first televised image. Phil's first three notebooks, with drawings by Pem, are now in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Pem and Phil moved to Philadelphia and spent the war years, 1939 to 1947, in Brownfield, Maine. They then moved to Ft. Wayne, Indiana. In 1968 they returned to Salt Lake City where Phil died in 1971. Since this time Pem wrote an informative book, Distant Vision, about her life with her husband. She also appeared in the PBS-TV Discovery series in an hour long film, Big Dream, Small Screen. Pem had a life long love of learning. She motivated many school children to go for their dreams She spoke about Phil and what they could also accomplish if they applied themselves. She was very dedicated to her husband and children. An active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she had a strong testimony of the truth of this gospel. She served in the Relief Society presidency and filled many other callings. She was preceded in death by her husband and two of their four sons: Kenneth and Philo III. She is survived by sons Russell (Rose) in New York City and Kent (Linda) in Ft. Wayne, Indiana; eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Lois Anderson, Bountiful. Funeral services were held Friday, May 12, 2006 in Provo. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. The family suggested donations to the Philo T. Farnsworth Foundation at 2000 Ironton Blvd., Provo, Utah 84606. [Deseret News, May 6, 2006.] ~ ~ ~ ~ Pem Gardner Farnsworth died on April 27, 2006, in Bountiful, Utah, at the age of 98.

Hunter, Member of the First Council of the Seventy Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, by Chancellor Harvey L. Taylor: "It now becomes my opportunity and distinct pleasure to introduce our guest speaker. Author, teacher, scholar, and spiritual leader, President Milton R. Hunter has been a member of the First Council of Seventy since April 6, 1945. Born October 25, 1902, in Holden, Utah, he is the son of John Edward and Margaret Teeples Hunter. His grandparents, converts to the Church in Scotland, were among Utah's early pioneers. After attending public schools near the place of his birth, Elder Hunter enrolled in Brigham Young High School in Provo, graduating in 1924, and later Brigham Young University, where he was awarded his bachelor's and master's degrees. He gained his doctor of philosophy degree at the University of California. Entering the teaching profession, Elder Hunter served as a school administrator in several school districts in several Western states. He also served for several years in the seminary system. He was an instructor at our LDS Institute of Religion in Logan when he was called into the First Council of Seventy. Elder Hunter has written many books - I noted that our school paper, the Universe, said twenty-two; I think, however, there have been two since that time - articles and papers on religious and historical subjects, including The Utah Story, currently used as a textbook in all junior high schools throughout the state of Utah. Several other of his books have been used as texts and study manuals within the Church, including The Gospel Through The Ages. Among his latest books are the first two volumes of Archaeology and the Book of Mormon. President Hunter has made numerous trips throughout Mexico and Central and South America to study archaeological sites and gather evidences to sustain the Book of Mormon. Elder and Sister Hunter are the parents of six children. We are honored this morning that Sister Hunter is here and that she is seated with her daughter in the audience. Elder Hunter, we are very happy now to have you address our studentbody and faculty." [December 15, 1964.] ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: After a life of service to the Church, including 17 years as a seminary teacher and 30 years as a member of the First Council of the Seventy, Elder Milton R. Hunter died June 25, 1975, at Salt Lake City, Utah, of congestive heart failure and other complications. He was 72. Elder Hunter is survived by his widow, the former Ferne Gardner, six children, and ten grandchildren. Members of his family were with him when he died. He had been in poor health for the past few years. Funeral services were held June 30, 1975, in the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. Speakers were President Spencer W. Kimball, Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Council of the Twelve, and Elder S. Dilworth Young of the First Council of the Seventy. Elder Hunter was born October 25, 1902, in Holden, Utah, a son of John Edward and Margaret Teeples Hunter, and a grandson of early Mormon pioneers who came to Utah from Scotland. He attended Brigham Young High School, graduated from Brigham Young University in 1929 and received his master’s degree there in 1931. That same year he married Ferne Gardner in the Logan Temple. Elder Hunter’s first job in education was principal of a junior high school in St. Thomas, Nevada. He later served as principal of junior high schools in Leamington and Lake View, Utah. In 1935 he was awarded a Ph.D. by the University of California. At that time he was teaching seminary for the Church in Provo, Utah, and his professors at the University of California encouraged him to take a position at a major university in his field of history. He declined, moving to Logan, Utah, to teach at the Institute of Religion. Elder Hunter said he had decided while taking seminary at B.Y. High School under one of his excellent teachers, Bro. William Tew, that “if I ever had the opportunity I should like to be a seminary teacher and devote my time and my entire life to teaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” When the opportunity came, he “gladly accepted, and in happiness undertook the work.” While teaching in Logan, Elder Hunter was called to serve on the First Council of the Seventy; he was sustained April 6, 1945. His work as a General Authority took him to missions in many parts of the world. He also visited Mexico, Central America, and South America in studies of archaeological ruins and their relation to the Book of Mormon. Elder Hunter wrote 23 books, principally on religious and historical subjects, and many articles, reviews, and papers. His book, Utah in Her Western Setting, was used for many years as a text in Utah schools and is now published in a revised edition, entitled The Utah Story. He has served as national president of Delta Phi Kappa, the returned missionary fraternity and was a cofounder of the New World Archaeological Foundation. Despite his achievements in education, history, and other pursuits, Elder Hunter always considered his mission in the Church of prime importance. “I have always loved the gospel of Jesus Christ more than anything else in life,” he said. “I have continuously labored in the Church from my boyhood up, willingly and happily. The gospel and the opportunities to serve in the Church have been the greatest blessing and joy in my life.” [adapted from: "News of the Church: Elder Milton R. Hunter Dies", The Ensign, August 1975, page 93, and other sources.]
