Biography of George Dollinger Pyper

George Dolllinger Pyper was born November 21, 1860, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the son of Alexander C. and Christiana D. Pyper. The Pyper home was a small log cabin located on Third South between Main and State Streets. The Victory Theater was later located on this site.

As a youth, Pyper helped his father raise silkworms in Brigham Young's cocoonery, and also herded cows in the Sugarhouse area. He attended the Sugarhouse and Twelfth Ward schools, and for a short time Brigham Young's private school. Pyper also studied law for two years at the University of Deseret.

Pyper met Emmaretta Smith Whitney, the daughter of Horace K. And Mary Cravath Whitney, while attending the University of Deseret. The two were married in the Endowment House on September 24, 1883, and had two children, Retta Pyper (Shepherd) and George (Gordie) Whitney Pyper.

In 1875, at age fourteen, Pyper worked as a Salt Lake Police court clerk; his father Alexander C. Pyper was a judge. When his father died in 1882 Pyper resigned as clerk. Between 1883 and 1887 Pyper served as a justice of the peace and performed over one hundred weddings. Between 1886 and 1890 Pyper served as a city alderman and as a police court judge.

In 1890, Pyper was appointed assistant secretary of the Deseret Agricultural and Manufacturing Society and the secretary of the State Fair Organization. In the capacity of these two positions, Pyper organized the Utah Agricultural exhibition at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and the Utah Exhibition at the Tennessee Centennial in 1897. Pyper considered both fairs successful in favorably promoting Utah in the minds of the American people.

In 1896 Pyper was called to join the Eastern States Mission of the LDS Church, along with Brigham H. Roberts, Melvin J. Ballard, and Edward Midgley. The four men were asked to present spiritual re-enactments of LDS religious events. Roberts was originally assigned as a narrator, with the other three men responsible for the song and prayer recital portions of the program.

Upon returning to Salt Lake City in 1897, Pyper was appointed to the Deseret Sunday School Union General Board. He spent many years working with the Sunday School programs and increasing membership. In 1918 Pyper was appointed to the board's General Superintendency, under Superintendent David O. McKay. In 1934 Pyper assumed position of general superintendent. One of Pyper's interests on the board was the publication of LDS life add religious messages through the medium of magazines. In 1890-1891 Pyper worked as an associate editor of The Contributor, and from 1910 until his death in 1943, was the editor of The Instructor.

Pyper devoted much of his life to music and the performing arts. Starting in 1885 with is first operatic role in Patience, Pyper sang as the lead tenor for the Salt Lake opera Company for the next twenty-five years. Pyper was also a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and toured with the Choir on trips to Chicago and San Francisco in 1893. In 1911 Pyper managed the Choir's trip to the National Irrigation Congress on New York, and arranged for performances en route.

Pyper managed the Salt Lake Theater from 1898 until it's demolition in 1929. He authored an informal history of the Theater, The Romance of an Old Playhouse, as a commemorative piece for the last performance on October 20, 1928. The book received many favorable reviews for its description of early Utah/Mormon cultural life, the construction of the theater, and the many events associated with a first-rate western playhouse. Over the years as its manager. Pyper met many famous performers who passed through Salt Lake, including native Utahn Maude Adams and the famous Russian Ballerina, Anna Pavlova.

In 1930 Pyper chaired the LDS Centennial Pageant Committee and organized the pageant, entitled "The Message of the Ages." Pyper considered its work his most significant achievement. In 1939, continuing his tradition of service to the LDS community, Pyper published a book entitled Stories of Latter-day Saints Hymns. The book relates the stories of how many of the hymns were created.

Pyper was an active and concerned member of his community. In addition to the many contributions mentioned above, Pyper was also a member of the Orpheus Club, the Philharmonic Society, and the Rotary Club. He also served terms as president of the Musical Arts Society and as president of the Salt Lake Civic Music Association.

George Dollinger Pyper died on January 17, 1943.
