Born on 27 October 1927, Frances Beverly Johnson was the youngest and only daughter of Franz E. Johnson and Hildur Booth Johnson’s five children. Her parents were delighted to have a little girl in the family, whom they promptly named Frances, after her father Franz.

She grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, as a child of the Great Depression and learned the value of hard work and thrift, which served her well throughout her life. She graduated from East High School and the University of Utah, where she excelled in math and science. When asked why she enrolled in these difficult classes, she replied with a twinkle in her eye, “Because that is where all the cute boys were.” Frances was also an accomplished pianist and was often seen playing tennis in Liberty Park during her teenage years. Later, she worked in the accounting department of a large department store to help pay for her college education.

It was also during her university days she met a handsome, strapping young man also of Swedish descent, Thomas Spencer Monson, at the time known as Tommy. “The first time I met Frances, I knew I’d found the right one,” he would later say about their courtship. They met in 1944 and were married on 7 October 1948 in the Salt Lake Temple.

The couple was blessed with three children: Thomas Lee, Ann Frances and Clark Spencer. The children soon learned that they had a very special mother. She helped her sons learn about, buy and raise Birmingham Roller pigeons, at one point helping her son to travel to England to meet a Birmingham Roller expert. She allowed one son to keep a pet snake in the bathtub. Most mothers would shudder at the word snake, let alone have one in the tub. The herd, gaggle and flock of family pets eventually included chickens, more pigeons, a dog, geese and other animals.

Daughter Ann Dibb said her mother was always good at bookkeeping, budgeting and “being mindful of where the best bargains could be found.” Ann’s mother followed the Church’s provident living advice of thrift and self-reliance, making her grocery money go further by researching and buying items on sale and then storing them at home. Up until recently she continued to read both Salt Lake newspapers looking for coupons and bargains.

She was known as the family assembler and fix-it person. Early every Christmas morning found Frances assembling bikes, toys and doll houses and on other occasions fixing an electrical switch or plumbing leak. Ann said this was something her father readily admitted was her mother’s talent, not his.

She served in the Relief Society and Primary and spent many hours preparing lessons for those callings. She also served alongside her husband when he was called to preside over the Church’s Canadian Mission, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, from 1959 to 1962. Both concur that the mission was a beautiful experience that gave them many opportunities to learn and grow both spiritually and intellectually.

Frances was blessed with an endearing sense of humor, a part of which President Monson shared in a general conference talk: “Several years ago my dear wife went to the hospital. She left a note behind for the children: ‘Dear children, do not let Daddy touch the microwave’ — followed by a comma ‘or the stove, or the dishwasher, or the dryer.’ I’m embarrassed to add any more to that list.” Her recipe for life included plenty of encouragement, kindness and hard work, with a dose of humor thrown in for good measure.

Most importantly, Frances will be best remembered for the love and support she showed to her husband and family and the service she rendered to others. Ann said, “She dearly loved my father and recognized his talents and the gifts that he’d been given and took pleasure in supporting him and helping him magnify the talents that were his.” She completely supported her husband in all of his Church duties. She also delighted in being a mother, continually teaching her children the importance of sacrifice and serving the Lord.

Ann shared a tender example of her mother supporting her father in his Church callings. As a newly called member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the then Elder Monson was assigned to speak in general priesthood meeting. Frances tried to stand in the doorway of the Salt Lake Tabernacle to listen to her husband speak, but the ushers wouldn’t allow it, so she stood as near to the window as possible to hear the talk. She loved to listen and show her support and accompanied him many times on his visits to the elderly and those with poor health.

Frances radiated patience and compassion when serving others. She tenderly cared for her mother, who suffered from cancer for more than six years. In April of 1988, the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph’s Villa, an elder-care facility, presented Frances and her husband with the Continuum of Caring Humanitarian Award, honoring both of them for their dedicated and untiring service to the senior citizens of Utah.

Never purposely in the spotlight, Frances Beverly Johnson Monson was always gracious, kind and supportive in everything she said and did. Her quiet influence felt around the world will be missed.

Ellen Louisa tucker, 1801-1821        Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882                                      March 1824       

Ellen Louisa Tucker                      Ralph Waldo Emerson

1811-1831                                                   1803-1882

“My reasoning faculty is proportionately weak, nor can I ever have hope to write a Butler’s Analogy or an Essay of Home…I am ill at ease among men. I criticize with hardness; I lavishly applaud; I weakly argue; and I wonder with a foolish face of praise…A score of words & deeds issue from me daily, of which I am not the master. They are begotten of weakness & born of shame. I cannot assume the elevations I might—but love the influence I exert among those of meaner or younger understanding…What is called a warm heart, I have not. The sterner accuser Conscience cries that the Catalogue of Confessions is not yet full. I am a lover of indolence, & of the belly…I cannot accurately estimate my chances of success in my profession, & in life. Were it just to judge the future from the past, they would be very low. In my case I think it is not. I have never expected success in my present employment.” April 18, 1824

Writer Peter Chou observed that From the above confessions in his journals: It’s hard to see how an indolent youth of 21 will grow into the mighty intellect that we know as Emerson— certainly one of America’s wisest and brightest individuals whose words of wisdom still illumine us today.

Emerson married Ellen Louisa Tucker whom he called “One First Love.”

1)     Romantic love works it alchemy on the human spirit.

“Just as Beatrice inspired Dante to write his Divine Comedy (1300 – 1321)—the gratest love poem that chronicles the pilgrim’s journey from Inferno through Purgatorio to Paradise, so did Ellen Louisa Tucker weave her beauty and charm into Emerson’s heart and soul. She died 17 months after they were married, but their short time together brought untold happiness to Emerson. Ellen was Emerson’s apsara.”

An Apsara (also spelled as Apsarasa) is a female spirit of the clouds and waters in

Hindu and Buddhist mythology.

A 10th-century sandstone statue of an Apsara from Madhya Pradesh, India.

Also spelled an Apsara 

Their short time together brought “untold happiness to Emerson. Ellen was Emerson’s apsara, an angel of the spirit who would inspire Emerson to divine insight nd illumination. It’s interesting, Chu said, that during this time together, Emerson did not make as many Journal entries as before. He was experiencing bliss and ectasy with her every day and had no time to write about them. Here are some of Emerson’s writings during that period.”

2)     I have now been four days engaged to Ellen Louisa Tucker. Will my Father in Heaven regard us with kindness and as he hath, as we trust, made us for each other, will he be pleased to strengthen & purify & prosper & eternize our affection?

Sunday Morning—Journal, Dec. 21, 1828, Concord, N.H.

3)      She has the purity & confiding religion of an angel. Are the words common? The words are true. Will God forgive me my sins & me to deserve the gift of her mercy (Jan. 17, 1829)

4)     My weight is 144 lb.  (July 3, 1829)

5)     Oh, Ellen, I do dearly love you—(July 21, 1829)

6)     Quantum scimis sumus  (“We are what we know.”)—that which we find within ourselves, which is more than ourselves, and yet the ground of whatever is good and permanent theein, is the substance of life of all other knowledge (Blotting Book Y, before entry of Oct. 9, 1829)

7)      We must beware of the nature of the spiritual world. It has this terrible power of self-change, self-accommodation to whatever we do that Ovid’s Metamorphoses take place continually.

8)     The nymph who wept became a fountain, the nymph who pined became an echo. They who do good become angels. They who do deformities become deformed (October 31, 1829)

9)     What is prayer? It is the expression of human wishes addressed to God. Prayer is the effort of the soul to apply itself in all its length & breadth to the sovereign idea, is the attempt to bring home to the thoughts so grand a mind & converse with it as we converse with men. (March 2, 1830

10)  What is God? The most elevated conception of character that can be formed in the mind. It is the individual’s own soul carried out to perfection.

11)  What it means to be one with God? Go sit alone… see what you can hope to be that is highest & best; see how goodness is the way to wisdom & wisdom is the way to goodness; see how the soul in the infinite vista of the future foresees the hour when it shall desire nothing  wrong & therefore nothing false, when desiring every thing right & every thing right being done, it shall find that insensibly it beats pulse for pulse with the Heart of nature, that all its volitions are followed by instant effects, that it is united to God. (Brookline, June 7, 1830)

12)  Humility is properly the exalting  of the Spirit… He that is of an humble, that is, of a wise Spirit will never be ashamed of any thing, that is, will despise nothing. and specially will moral truth be venerable to him… He that humbleth himself shall be exalted because he that humbleth himself— it is a sign that he is exalting his idea of the power of his own nature & of course perceives the mediocrity of his own attainments; and is exalting his view of God. (July 15, 1830)

13)  Immense significance of the precept Know Thyself. In view of this, how ridiculous is Alexander, & Bonaparte wandering from one extreme of civilization to the other to conquer men, himself the while yet unconquered, unexplored, unknown, to himself… How ridiculous the gladiators on our republican arena, greedy of a little showy power over their fellow citizens’ property & rights & foregoing the sceptre of spiritual might that belongs to the self comprehender. He that knows himself must always be felt as the superior of him that does not, let the last rule the globe if he will. (July 30, 1830)

14)  Immense significance of the precept Know Thyself. In view of this, how ridiculous is Alexander, & Bonaparte  wandering from one extreme of civilization to the other to conquer men, himself the while yet unconquered, unexplored, unknown, to himself… How ridiculous the gladiators on our republican arena, greedy of a little showy power over their fellow citizens’ property & rights  & foregoing the scepter of spiritual might that belongs to the self-comprehender.  He that knows himself must always be felt as the superior of him that does not, let the last rule the globe if he will.

Sinclair Lewis was an American novelist and playwright. He became the first American to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930. Several of his most famous works are Main Street and Babbit. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Arrowsmith (but he rejected the prize). A number of his novels (Elmer Gantry, Main Street, Babbitt, Kingsblood Royal, and Cass Timberlane) were banned. Here are a few quotes from Sinclair Lewis.

• “Damn the great executives, the men of measured merriment, damn the men with careful smiles, damn the men that run the shops, oh, damn their measured merriment.”
  - Sinclair Lewis, Arrowsmith, Chapter 25
• “Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile. In protest, I declined election to the National Institute of Arts and Letters some years ago, and now I must decline the Pulitzer Prize.”
  - Sinclair Lewis
• “In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.”
  - Sinclair Lewis, Babbit, Chapter 14
• “Intellectually I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.”
  - Sinclair Lewis
• “Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.”
  - Sinclair Lewis
• “There are dozens of young poets and fictioneers most of them a little insane in the tradition of James Joyce, who, however insane they may be, have refused to be genteel and traditional and dull.”
  - Sinclair Lewis
