Tanner, Joseph Marion, second assistant general superintendent of Latter-day Saint Sunday schools, was born March 26, 1859, in Payson, Utah county, Utah.
He is the second but oldest living son of Myron Tanner and Mary Jane Mount, who when their son was about three years of age moved to Provo, where he received his earliest education in the public schools.
From his fourteenth to his seventeenth year he was an employee of the Provo Woolen Mills. He worked during the day in the factory and attended a night school organized at the Brigham Young Academy, under Dr. Karl G. Maeser. The class originally consisted of some twenty-six factory hands who gradually lost their interest in the studies, and he finally became the only student of the class which continued during the entire school year. It was during these night classes, at which he was the only student, that a sympathetic friendship sprang up between the boy and Dr. Karl G. Maeser-a friendship that became increasingly intimate during Dr. Maeser's life. At the age of seventeen he entered the academy as a regular student and was a member of its first graduating class in the year 1878, thus becoming one of the first teachers who had graduated from the institution. He remained at the academy as a teacher of various subjects, especially of mathematics, from his nineteenth to his twenty-fifth year. In 1879 he was engaged in engineering work in the construction of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, and in 1882 was appointed city surveyor of Provo. In 1884 he left for a mission to Germany. In view of his profession as teacher he traveled extensively in America and Europe on his way to the missionary field, and was finally assigned to the Berlin conference. In the fall of 1885 he was transferred to Turkey for the purpose of opening a mission in the Sultan's dominion. During the spring of 1886 he visited the principal Oriental countries bordering on the Mediterranean, and especially the Holy Land, where an opportunity was discovered to open a mission among the German colonists who were colonizing Palestine under the idea that the chief feature of the gospel in these last days was that of gathering. A number of these Germans subsequently accepted the gospel and emigrated to America. After 3 1/2 years of missionary labor and travel in most of the countries of Europe and in the Holy Land, he returned home, reaching Utah in December, 1887. Owing to the ill health of Dr. Karl G. Maeser at that time, he took the latter's work in the Brigham Young Academy for the remaining part of the year. In the summer of 1888 he was elected president of the Brigham Young College at Logan, and the same year was appointed a member of the Church Board of Examiners, and the Church Board of Education at the same time conferred upon him the doctor's degree. After three years' presidency of the Brigham Young College, he resigned his position to take up a course of study in the East, and passed three years at Harvard University, chiefly in the study of law. On his return from Harvard he entered the practice of law in Salt Lake City, where in 1896 he became the first Supreme Court reporter under the new State government. While occupying that office he edited the first five volumes of the Utah State Reports. He was the same year elected president of the Agricultural College, at Logan, a position which he held for four years. Upon resigning his position as college president in 1900, he again entered the practice of law in Salt Lake City and became a member of the law firm of Ferguson, Cannon & Tanner. After a practice covering a period of ten months, in 1901, he was appointed deputy superintendent of State schools and later in the same year received the appointment of general superintendent of Church schools, to succeed Dr. Karl G. Maeser, who had recently died. Dr. Tanner, who had been a member of the Deseret Sunday School Union Board since 1896, was chosen second assistant superintendent of Sunday schools in 1901, and about the same time was appointed second assistant superintendent of religion classes. For more than twenty years Dr. Tanner has been a constant contributor to Church magazines, and at present is assistant associate editor of the "Juvenile Instructor," and edits "Current Topics" in the "Improvement Era." His studies and teaching during the past twenty-five years have covered a wide range, including, as they do, mathematics, languages, history, and law. His travels in Europe, Asia and Africa have extended to most of the historical fields of those continents and have been undertaken in pursuance of his interest in historical research. These accumulated experiences in educational institutions and in travel are particularly helpful to his work in the school and in the editor's chair.

Came to Utah Oct. 13, 1848 located in South Cottonwood Salt Lake County. Came to Utah with the Amasa M. Lyman in Homer Dunca's "Ten" of Joseph Mathews "Fifty"

JOSEPH SMITH TANNER was 25 years old when he returned from California and settled in Payson in 1858. At this time he had the distinction of helping to accompany Colonel Thomas L. Kane from California to Utah. Colonel Kane "had been appointed by President Buchanan to mediate between the Federal Government (Johnston's Army) and the Mormons." Joseph relates, "Ebenezer Hanks, representing the church, furnished a buggy and I furnished part of the team. (He gives a day-by-day account of the journey; they had to travel slowly because of Col. Kane's poor health). The party reached Parowan on the 20th of February, 1858, where new teams were furnished." Joseph did not accompany Kane the rest of the way to Salt Lake, but returned to the Tanner family's wagons which were on the Santa Clara, and they continued on to Payson where they arrived March 8, 1858. He married Elizabeth Haws in 1860 and they had 13 children. He was called to the Muddy Mission, to start a settlement on the Muddy River in 1868, and after two years he returned to Payson. After his wife's untimely death he married Janette Hamilton in 1882, and this couple had 12 children. Also he married in plural marriage in 1885, to Ellen Elizabeth Fogelstrand, and she had six children, for a total of 31 children, all born in Payson. He had the most children of any of the Tanners. His oldest child, Mary Elizabeth Tanner, born in 1860, was forty five years older than his youngest child, Sterling Elmer Tanner, born in 1905. In his reminiscences he wrote that he was able to rejoice that his children "thus far are all in the Church," and he had a good conscience because he had "discharged the duty resting on me towards my older children as a father in preparing them to meet the trials of life; four of my sons having filled missions (thus far)."

Joseph S. Tanner was a successful farmer and dairyman, a large and powerful man who was highly regarded in Payson. He served as a member of the city council, and as mayor from 1879 to 1883. He was also on the boards of the Cooperative Dairy, Provo Woolen Mills, Cooperative Meat Market, and the Payson Bank. He was a bishop for twenty years, first in Payson, and then later he was also bishop over the whole district including Santaquin, Spring Lake, Salem, and Benjamin. It is said that "Joseph Tanner's home was the public stopping place for thousands who were traveling in those days from north to south over the territory."

Myron Tanner, son of John Tanner and Elizabeth Beswick, was born June 7, 1826 in Bolton, Warren County, New York. Myron was baptized into the Latter-day Saint Church at an early age. On Christmas Day, 1834, the family left for Kirtland, Ohio to join with the Saints in that place. Myron enlisted in the Mormon Battalion in Company "D." On the march he became ill with chills and fever, then contracted the mumps. After this seige of illness he suffered much from an abscess in his head. During the march the men were forced to carry 16 pounds of equipment and when he could not keep up any longer with his comrades, his load was put on a wagon and later he was put in the wagon on the tops of barrels. This so injured his back that he suffered for years and was never able to do manual labor. Myron was sent with the sick detachment to Pueblo and was one of the Battalion boys who came into Salt Lake Valley on the 29th of July, 1847.

In August of that year he was sent back to the Missouri River to help immigrants coming into the Valley. In 1850 he went to work in the gold mines of California. In the year 1856, Myron married Mary Jane Mount and was sent to help in the settlement of Payson. In 1860 he moved to Provo where he married Ann Crosby in 1866. He was Bishop of the Third Ward for twenty-seven years. Mr. Tanner died
January 11, 1903. - Oralie Wilkinson

Myron Tanner, born in Bolton, New York, came to Salt Lake in 1847. Later he bought the Kelton Mill and home in the northwest part of Provo and moved his family there. It was a small molasses mill and was run by the Keltons for only a short time. Myron built onto it, remodeled and improved
it and added machinery necessary for grist milling. The mill was run by water power which he secured by changing the course of a ditch and running it down Sixth West street. The mill was located just west of Sixth West and between Third and Fourth north street. This new venture proved to be a very successful one. He soon made himself familiar with the milling business, bought two new farms, and kept teams moving almost constantly for years hauling flour from Provo to Salt Lake City.

Abraham O. Smoot called on Myron and expressed a desire he put his mill into the new organization. "The factory needs the mill," he told him. It already had one, but it was President Smoot's intention to make Myron Tanner superintendent of both his own mill and the one owned by the woolen factory. The proposition was not very acceptable. Myron Tanner had business ideas that were somewhat peculiar, and he preferred to keep his own mill, which was bringing him in a large income. The desirability of the new movement was urged upon him and had become so strongly associated with the religious spirit of the
time, that it seemed almost like religious indifference to withstand the very general counsel to act in an organized manner through the medium of business corporations.

As a result, President Brigham Young decided that if Myron Tanner would exchange one-half of his mill for stock in the Provo Woolen Mills that would be satisfactory, and that he should have the privilege of managing his own mill. This proved, in a measure, a financial disaster. What, however, was as great, was the unwillingness of the new corporation to permit improvements that the progress of the milling industry absolutely demanded, and after many years of such dissatisfaction he finally sold out his share of the gristmill. During this time the mill had earned thousands of dollars for the factory, but the factory brought comparatively nothing to Myron Tanner. The old gristmill was finally sold to a Mr. Nestler who operated Provo's first and only brewery. - Marion Tanner

History - In 1841, Mary's parents joined the Mormon Church, and she moved with them to Nauvoo. She recalled some of the early persecution there, and the death of Joseph Smith.
She remembered their making preparations to leave the city, selling their belongings for very little. And she remembers the start of their journey:
"I think I shall never forget that long lonely day; waiting on that vast undulating prarie that stretched as far as the eye could reach, covered with grass and flowers. It must have been a lovely scene that bright spring morning, but I hardly think it was properly appreciated by the little band who were so bravely leaving home, friends, country and kindred to take their toilsome march across the rocky mountains. The oxen were detached from the waggons and feeding lazily among the green grass, knowing nothing of the future that lay before them...My childish heart knew as little as they of the hardship that lay before us."
Mary Jane was 10 when they arrived in the barren Salt Lake Valley in the fall of 1847.
The first real home for the family was a crude cabin Joseph Mount built in the canyon, where he was also building a sawmill.
They eked out a sparse living, fighting off crickets and harsh weather, for two years. When news of the gold discovery in California reached Salt Lake, Joseph determined to seek his fortune.
He left his family in the care of his partner, agreeing to send the partner half of what he made in the gold fields. He did do reasonably well there, but this move cost his family much suffering both while he was gone and from the later consequences of the move.
"We had a sack of flour which we had kept very carefully and would not use it as long as we could get it other ways; for my mother had learned to look out for emergencies. She had smelled something unusual, and, as she was not accustomed to foul odors about the house, set to work to learn the cause. Finaly she traced it to the flour sack where she found a dead mouse. The smell had impregnated the flour and rendered it unfit for use.
"To those who have plenty, and never knew the wretchedness of hunger and privation, this may seem a little thing; but to us it meant bread which is the staff of life and we scarcely knew how to replace it."
In 1851 Joseph sent for his family to come to California, but they did not feel they should leave the valley. When Joseph heard this he became very angry, and thus began a little drama that changed the lives of the Mount family. Joseph demanded a divorce. Elizabeth, feeling abandoned and at a loss to know how to care for her family, obtained a divorce and soon after became the second wife of a Stillman Pond. By the time Joseph calmed down and came to make peace with the family, it was too late.

Joseph also married again, and for a time Mary Jane lived with him, but felt a great sense of aloneness, not quite fitting in with either family. Eventually her father moved back to California, a bitter man. Her mother didn't find happiness, either, leaving Stillman Pond a few years later, and marrying a third time, to Timothy Foote.
In 1856 Mary Jane married Myron Tanner, a young Mormon from San Bernardino whom she met on one of his trips to Salt Lake City. They were going back to California, but on the counsel of Brigham Young, decided to stay in Utah. They lived in Payson for a time, then moved to Provo, where they spent the rest of their lives.
Myron and Mary Jane were the parents of nine children, three of whom died in infancy.

Ten years after he married Mary Jane, Myron took a second wife, Ann Crosby.

"Of this I will say but little. It is a heart history which pen and ink can never trace. It was a great trial, but I believed it to be a true principle, and summoned all my fortitude to bear it bravely."
A cordial relationship existed between the two families for a time, but it eventually deteriorated into discord and bitterness because, said Mary Jane, of the interference of Ann's family. In later letters, however, she always defended the practice. And the insight she offers into the realities of polygamy is fascinating.
Throughout her life, Mary Jane suffered from poor health. In 1842, after the birth of one of her children she became very sick from "childbed fever." It was then, and during the lengthy convalescence which followed, that she decided to become a writer.
"God had given me a taste and a tallent for writing...and I determined then that if God gave me health I would not prize His gift so lightly, but would do all in my power to cultivate my 'tallent' and not 'lay it away in a napkin.'...As soon as my strength and time permitted I gathered and arranged my little poems and coppied them in a book."
Her "Fugitive Poems" volume was published in 1880. She also contributed numerous pieces to Church publications and women's journals of the time. She made no great mark in the literary world, but did become known as the "Utah County Poetess."
Her devotion to the Church never wavered. Myron served as bishop of the Provo Third Ward for a great many years; at the time she completed her autobiography, Mary Jane had served as president of the Relief Society for 15 years.
She died on Jan. 8, 1890, "ending a useful and honorable career," as the newspaper account read. "She left a large family and a wide circle of friends to mourn her departure."
And in her writings, particularly the fragments so choicely and skillfully presented in this book, she left a precious legacy, a fascinating view of Mormon life as it was a hundred years ago, seen through the eyes of a devout and caring woman.
