Content DescriptionReturn to Top

Ronald Kingsbury was born in Utah in 1905 and graduated from the University of Utah in 1927. He had an accounting career and was in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Ilene Kingsbury, his wife, graduated from the University of Utah, taught school and was a partner in her husband's accounting business. She published stories and articles in LDS Church magazines. Joseph C. Kingsbury was a Mormon pioneer and grandfather of University of Utah president Joseph T. Kingsbury. This collection contains early photographs of pioneer or related family individuals from around the turn of the century. The rest of the collection deals with a miscellaneous gathering of visits to pioneer gravesites and locations (circa 1970) and a Railroad ceremony in Corinne, Utah (circa 1970).
