Volume Ninety-four SPRINGVILLE, UTAH 84663 - July 19, 1989 Price 50t Number Twenty Nine i Si MM Mm n n Rnn II m Bii(oii to mm mmmm p Much loved, long-time Mapleton residents Dr. Paul K. Edmunds and his sweetheart of 52 years, Ella, will lead the Mapleton 24th of July Parade Monday as the Grand Marshals. Dr. Edmunds was born to Thomas Tho-mas and Frieda K. Edmunds October Octo-ber 23, 1902 in Wales, Utah. He moved to Logan until 1920 when he left to attend the University of Utah receiving his Bachelors Degree De-gree in 1926. After returning from a three-year mission for the LDS Church to Germany and Switzerland, Dr. Edmunds attended Northwestern University in Chicago and received his degree in medicine in 1930. There he was elected to the National Honorary Medical Society, Alpha Omega Alpha. In 1936, he moved to the San Joaquin Valley in California and practiced medicine at the Hanford Hospital. He remembers in those J days even though he was a surgical doctor, he did everything from fix-j ing broken arms and legs, sewing up cuts and treating colds, to delivering deliv-ering babies. He remembers picking pick-ing up his black bag and his folding cot and making house calls to the migrant workers and delivering their babies in tents. While at Hanford Hospital, he met his sweetheart Ella Middleton. She was a surgical nurse there. They were married in the Mesa, Arizona Temple in 1937. In 1957, Dr. Edmunds accepted an offer to work for BYU Health Center. The years at BYU were characterized by extraordinary care and compassion for his patients. One of his daughters, a student at that time, still remembers waiting at the Health Center with her brothers broth-ers and sisters until 10 p.m. or later (several hours after closing time) for their father to finish his work and ride home with them. Many times he would be called back to the health center in the middle of the night to treat sick or injured students. Although Dr. Edmunds has been the recipient of many professional honors over the years, he will be best remembered for his devoted service to the student community at BYU. His skill and compassion have healed many people, not only physically but spiritually as well. One of his many hidden talents is that he was a member and president presi-dent of "The Master Singers," a 73 voice male chorus that toured throughout Utah in the 1940's. Dr. Edmunds, even with his busy life as a physician, has served many positions in the LDS Church, a missionary, Branch President five times, in the bishopric, Stake Sunday Sun-day School, High Council, Stake Presidency and Stake Young Men. He was also commanding officer of the USAF Cap and Selective Service Serv-ice Examiner for 10 years. He was a member of the planning and city councils for Mapleton City. Ella Edmunds was born to Charles Char-les Franklin and Mary Middleton on August 29, 1914 in Rigby, Idaho, later moving to California in 1923. Ella graduated from Orange County Hospital in 1935 with an RN degree. de-gree. While in California, she did post-graduate work at the Los Angeles County Hospital and the Shriners Hospital in San Francisco.

It is being renovated by the Springville Arts Commission for use by all the arts related organizations in the city. ttouffors funds museu m irofnouQiino project Some remodeling of two doorways door-ways at the Springville Museum of Art during the past two months has opened up the front reception area with more light besides being visually visu-ally appealing. The project was undertaken when Stouffer Foods donated funds. By October, the entire Step-down Gallery will have new gallery cloth, new paint and acoustical support, thanks to Stouffer Foods and Jay Weaver and the City of Springville. The entrances to the Step-down Gallery and the Music Gallery were raised 14 inches and the doors were removed. "These are the two most important entrances into our first floor galleries," said Vern Swan-son, Swan-son, museum director. "The new doorways have been designed to match an existing doorway at the southeast end of the Step-down Gallery." The test came last week, according accord-ing to Swanson, when a past museum mu-seum director visited and was unable un-able to determine that anything had changed with the doorways! "The remodeling is so compatible with the style of the building, it looks as if it had always been that way." In actuality, the changes are dramatic, dra-matic, both aesthetically and practically. prac-tically. In the past, the museum was used for classes by high school students stu-dents and classrooms needed doors to dose them off. The building codes in 1937 allowed the doors to be very low, much lower than any allowance allow-ance made today. The doors were not needed and the added space by raising the doorways has meant much more light in the lobby area. An added feature is that large paintings and sculptures will more easily be carried into the galleries. Some pictures were unable to be hung in these two galleries because they wouldn't go through the doors. Sometimes their frames had to be taken off in order to get them in for exhibit. The beautiful old doors that were taken down will be saved for future use at the museum if additions are made to the building. |
