Chuck Bynum ~~~ A Long Time Friend to Everyone

 

1942 – 2022

Charles “Chuck” Eatinger Bynum, 80, passed away Saturday, October 29, 2022. He died peacefully with Lois at his side.

Chuck was born September 10, 1942, in Mt. Pleasant, Utah to Donna Maurine Eatinger and Hugh Bynum. He attended Wasatch Academy where he played football and graduated in 1960. After high school, Chuck moved to Los Angeles, CA to attend NIT Technical Institute and work at Bonanza Airlines (which after a long history of mergers and name changes is now Delta Airlines).

While living in Los Angeles, he met Lois Ann Odefey, a flight attendant also working for Bonanza Airlines. Chuck graduated from NIT in Mechanical Engineering. Chuck and Lois were married on September 14, 1963. They briefly lived in Reno, NV before Donna called needing help on the family farm, so they quit their airline jobs and moved back to Mt. Pleasant. Chuck later worked as a travel trailer salesman and then took a job working in the coal mining industry where he stayed for 30 years. Chuck enjoyed watching his three children: Dawn, Alana, and Heath thrive in school, sports, 4-H, and rodeo.

Once he retired from coal mining, he decided to start his own trucking company, operating first just in Utah, then expanding to Arizona. Chuck and Lois moved to Salt Lake City where Dawn’s family was living at the time, to be closer to their granddaughters.

Retirement came and the warm sunshine of Arizona was a little nicer than the cold snowy winters in Utah. Even though he lived in Arizona, his heart never left his small hometown.

He loved fishing, boating at Lake Powell, traveling, and spending time with his grandkids and great-granddaughters.

Chuck is preceded in death by his mom Donna Maurine Smith, brother Myron Frandsen, and his sister Charlyn Austin. He is survived by Lois Bynum, his children Dawn Buxton, Alana Favela, Heath Bynum, their spouses respectively, 4 granddaughters, one grandson, and two great-granddaughters.

Graveside services are being planned for the spring/summer of 2023 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah.

HATMAKING IN EARLY PIONEER DAYS

  

HATMAKING IN EARLY PIONEER DAYS

By Wilhelmina H.M. Ericksen 1928 (Book of Mt. Pleasant)

A Becoming Hat adds much to the appearance of a lady and emphasizes her good grooming. This fact was realized in pioneer days, even as it is at the present, but there are many difficulties to be overcome at that time in the art of millinery, which present-day hat makers know nothing about.

Many materials, available now (1928), were unknown at that time. In fact, straw for the summer hats and old velvet, silk, felt or wool goods for the winter bonnets, with trimmings of the same material or dyed chicken feathers and homemade flowers, were about the limit of their millinery supplies.

A millinery shop, in those days, was not just a place where ladies, young and old (could try) on hats which had been manufactured in some distant city, (or) until they found the most becoming one and bought it. It was not a shop where they could go and select a becoming hat shape; and order it trimmed according to (their own) fancy. The pioneer milliner gathered her raw materials and proceeded with much painstaking and tedious labor to manufacture both hat shapes and trimmings.

Mt. Pleasant pioneer milliners were Mrs. Marie Jacobsen, Mrs. Ida C. Larsen, and Mrs. M.F.C. Morrison. In the early (1870’s), Mrs. Louise Aldrich did much of the straw making and taught a number of young women the art of braiding the straw and making the trimmings.
