Even more than a mission call it creates a sharpened sense of identity, a more acute awareness of being different from the world. In 1892 Josiah E. Hickman left Utah for Ann Arbor, Michigan; he was one of a number of Utah students who found a welcome at the University of Michigan and who represented the vanguard of Mormons who would eventually "go East" for an education. Josiah Hickman also was among the vanguard of Mormons who would devote their lives to the Church educational system. He was graduated from the Brigham Young Academy in 1883 and always insisted that Karl G. Maeser "had laid the foundation of the grandest educational system the world has ever seen". He was principal of the Millard Stake Academy in Fillmore from 1887 until 1892 when he went to the University of Michigan. Following his graduation from the University of Michigan he accepted a teaching position at Brigham Young College in Logan. He later received a master's degree in psychology from Columbia. He also taught at BYH and BYU during his academic career. ~ ~ ~ ~ BIOGRAPHY: Josiah Edwin Hickman, educator and underwriter, was born at Salem, Utah, Aug. 3, 1862, son of George Washington and Lucy Ann (Haws) Hickman. His father, a physician and farmer, was a native of Missouri and of English ancestry. The son was educated at Brigham Young Academy (later Brigham Young University), Provo, Utah; the University of Michigan, where he was graduated A.B. in 1895, and at Columbia University, where he received an M.A. degree in 1907. For thirty-five years he taught school in Utah and Idaho, starting his teaching career at Provo in 1885. During 1888-92 he was principal of the Millard Stake (Latter-day Saints) Academy at Fillmore, Utah. After leaving the University of Michigan he was professor of education at Brigham Young College at Logan, Utah, for a year and then (1897) became principal of the Oneida L.D.S. Stake Academy at Preston, Idaho, remaining there until 1900, when he was made head of the physics department at Brigham Young University. After six years in this post he resigned in order to enter Columbia University. During 1907-11 he was principal of Murdock Academy at Beaver, Utah, and after another year at Columbia University he became head of the department of education at Brigham Young College at Logan and exchange professor at Utah State Agricultural College. He continued in these positions until 1920. During 1920-33 he was associated with the Pacific National Life Assurance Co. of Salt Lake City, except in 1926-27, when he represented the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a missionary in California and in 1930-31 when he was engaged in research at Columbia University on the aborigines of America. Hickman was the author of the Romance of the Book of Mormon (1937) and of numerous religious pamphlets and articles and throughout his life lectured on religious and psychological subjects. For four years he was superintendent of the Utah Stake Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association. While in Idaho Hickman was a regent of the University of Idaho. He was married three times: (1) at Logan, Utah, Feb. 18, 1884 to Martha Ellen, daughter of Dr. David Rogers, of Provo; she died in 1900; (2) at El Paso del Norte, Mexico, June 7, 1890, to Martha, daughter of Robert Lawisch, of Salt Lake City; (3) in Salt Lake City, Jan. 21, 1902, to Helen, daughter of Peter Hanson, of Levan, Utah. By the first marriage, he had seven children: Fern, wife of Sheridan McGarry; Edwin Dee; Othello; Josiah Eugene; George Washington; Lavon, and Lorea Hickman, wife of Thomas Edward Brown. By the second marriage he had nine children: Leonidas Marion; Reginald Lawisch; Juanita, wife of Orral Tillison Whitehead; Radino Lawisch; Valko Lawisch; Rienna (died in infancy); Thorval Lawisch; Kyrmel Lawisch, and Marva Hickman, wife of Ellis Schow Hansen. By the third marriage, he had two sons, Felton and Myrthus Hickman (known under the screen name of Gordon Westcott). His death occurred at Logan, Utah, Oct. 5, 1937.

He had the great privilege of studying and teaching under Karl G. Maeser and graduated from Brigham Young Academy by 1889." He graduated in 1885 and taught through 1889. [Bryant Hinckley appears in a photo of the first faculty to serve under Principal Benjamin Cluff in 1892.] Bryant S. Hinckley came to the campus in 1883. The then-16-year-old Bryant Hinckley, President Gordon B. Hinckley's father, went on to graduate from Brigham Young Academy and was a student orator at his commencement exercises. He joined the faculty and taught at the institution for nine years. In addition, Bryant Hinckley became president of the Alumni Association and organized the Emeritus Club, of which he also served as president.

Sixth Principal of BY High School from 1904 to 1909. ~ ~ ~ ~ Edwin S. Hinckley was born July 21, 1868, in Cove Fort, Utah, the seventh child of pioneer parents, Ira N. and Adelaide Hinckley. They were known as people of refinement, integrity, religion, family, and education. Edwin S. Hinckley attended Brigham Young Academy in Provo, Utah, and his experiences heightened his interest in higher education. Bryant graduated from BYA high school in 1885 and Edwin in 1886? Edwin was a half brother to Bryant S. Hinckley, and they came to Provo to school together. Edwin married Addie Henry in 1890, and Bryant went on to school in the East and was not married until three years later. Each man remained a teacher and both taught at BYA, Bryant from 1893 to 1900, and Edwin for twenty years. Edwin and his wife Adeline (Addie) Henry Hinckley moved to Ann Arbor, Mich., to pursue additional studies in geology at the University of Michigan; he graduated as class salutatorian. Simultaneously he served a part-time mission. Returning to BYA to teach in 1895, Hinckley served another mission in Colorado. After Brigham Young Academy became BYU in 1903, Hinckley served as Principal of BY High School from 1904 to 1909. For 21 years he inspired students in the classroom, prompting at least one of them, J. Edward Johnson, to write that he "sat as one enchanted all the period he talked to our class, later adding, "One of [his] expressions was, 'Some of you here have it in you to do things which will set waves in motion that will not stop until they break upon the waves of eternity.' "What he taught me in geology has long since ceased to make the slightest difference to me, but the inspiration of his personality and philosophy of life . . . his keen wit and wholesome good humor, continue to fire me with new ambitions." Hinckley, known as the geologist of the university, also served as second counselor, as it was termed then, to BYU president George H. Brimhall. With E.D. Partridge, he laid out the block Y, and was dean of the Church Teachers College. Upon his BYU retirement he served the State Industrial School at Ogden for seven years as superintendent where his management philosophy was "Trust-not punish." He later served as executive director for the Provo City Chamber of Commerce and was a principal participant in major economic development in central Utah. He had served as BYU's Alumni president in 1897 and '98 and continued his affiliation in 1924 and '25 as president a second time. Hinckley died Nov. 15, 1929, leaving a family that included 13 children. In 1954, wanting to express appreciation to their parents, they extended the Hinckley influence by establishing the Edwin Smith Hinckley Scholarship Fund at BYU.

I have been afforded opportunities and blessings beyond all imagination, for which I am profoundly grateful. I am the oldest son of George Alfred and Macel Rogers Horton and was born in Milford, Utah, on February 23, 1927. I have the distinction of having been born in the town library, in which my mother was librarian and my parents had a small apartment. On May 2, 1952, I married Norma Sumsion of Springville, Utah, whom I met while we were serving missions in Louisville, Kentucky. This was the best decision I ever made. It has amazed me that, out of humble beginnings, I have been privileged to study at seven schools of higher education, receive advanced degrees at BYU and UCLA, teach in the Church Seminaries and Institutes and at BYU-Hawaii and Provo, and serve as director of the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies. In the Church Education System (CES) I was privileged to serve as a district and division coordinator of Seminaries and Institutes for California Central. At the general level, I served as Director of Production and Distribution and also Director of Curriculum for CES. I give credit for any success to my mother, who nurtured me in my early Church activity; my father, who was a great exemplar of Christian virtues; my wife, who has loved, supported, "guided," and encouraged me in achieving the best; our children (Sharon [Steve Larson], Orange, California; Sterling [Adrienne], Kailua, Hawaii; Helen, Washington DC; Jo Ann [David Seely], Provo, Utah; Roger [Teresa], Mesa, Arizona; Scott [Debra], Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Holly [Joseph Jensen], South Jordan, Utah; grandchildren (Christopher [Marisha] and Lindsay [Neal Call] Larson; Jennifer [Sean Medeiros], Michael [Tasha], Kristy [Aaron Scherman], Erin [Joshua Sandon], and Michelle Horton; Audrey, Brigham, Dallin [Sarah], and Russell Bastian; Rachel [Andrew Grover], Joseph, Kathryn, and Benjamin Seely; Heather and Corinne Horton; Emily, Hyrum, Grant, Hollianne, and Liam Horton; Jonathan and David Jensen); and great-grandchildren (Ayda and Evie Larson; Addison Call; Auli'i, Kai, and Koa Medeiros; Jaden and Maya Horton; Hannah Scherman; Taylor Sandon; Mary Elizabeth, Hannah Ruth, and Rachel Eve Bastian; Miriam and Samuel Grover) who have showered me with their love. After serving in the US Navy, the first great turning point in my life was serving in the East Central States Mission (1949-1951). Other activity in the Church included teaching assignments, serving on writing committees, participating on five high councils, and serving as bishop of the Sherman Oaks (California) Second Ward as well as branch and district president at the Missionary Training Center in Provo and as president of the BYU Second Stake. It was my privilege to be a member of the four-man committee that prepared the final editions of the Topical Guide and Triple Index for the "new" LDS editions of the scriptures. I appreciate the skills of my doctors (James Clark, Douglas Smith, Jeff Groves, and Loran Cook) who should not go unrecognized. They have helped to extend my life and improve my well-being. I am survived by my wife, Norma, seven children, 24 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and brother William Richard (Delores) Horton. I have been preceded in death by two older half-brothers, Alfred Lowell Horton and Marvin Rollins Horton, and my youngest brother, Donald Earl Horton. I have unbounded gratitude to the Lord, who blessed me with a believing heart in early childhood. I have not feared death except for twinges of conscience that I could have lived a better life. I have an undying testimony of the truthfulness of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, the divine power of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood, the sacred scriptures, and the immortality of the soul. I have a sure testimony of the appearance of the Father and the Son to Joseph Smith in the Sacred Grove. I have great appreciation for all who have ministered for the gospel's sake and particularly for Joseph Smith. I have an outpouring of love for all my forebears, who made my heritage and blessings possible. There is gratitude in my heart for the inspiration from the Holy Spirit. It has assisted us in compiling our family history. I have loved my wife, parents, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren"also my wonderful neighbors, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances worldwide. I end with an expression of gratitude to my beloved wife, family, and teachers and have the faith that we shall soon meet again in a joyous reunion. God bless you all."
