The Daynes Family have been merchants in Salt Lake City for more than 150 years in the jewelry, music and optical businesses. They have struggled with economic times, bad decisions and leadership, and have had hot and cold relations with the Mormon Church leadership. Family tragedies have resulted in family schisms which have never healed.

The Daynes Jewelry/Music Store

The original Daynes immigrant and the founder of the Daynes Jewelry Store on Main Street Salt Lake City was John Frederick Nicholas Daynes, son of Thomas and Bridgit (Carter) Daines of Norwich, England. He arrived in Great Salt Lake City in 1862 from Liverpool on the sailing vessel John J. Boyd. He then continued traveling overland, taking a steamboat up the Missouri and finally crossing the plains in the Homer Duncan party from Florence, Nebraska arriving after five months on September 24.¹

The store was originally a log establishment (see Figure 1² ) and was called ‘John Daynes and Sons’ on First South, just east of Main Street.³

The store originally sold and repaired jewelry and timepieces as well as musical instruments; it was the oldest music store west of the Mississippi and second oldest in the nation behind Steinert’s of Boston.⁴

In 1873 Daynes convinced Steinway and Sons to ship him (by wagon over the Donner Pass) the first Steinway piano in Utah.⁵ The jewelry store moved several times ending up at 26 South Main before the founder’s death in 1905.

Table 1.⁶

When John F. Daynes II (J. Fred) returned from his mission to England in 1900, his father talked him into turning down a job as a bank teller to take over Daynes and Sons, with John senior continuing as watchmaker for $5/month.⁷ Then in 1907 the jewelry store safe was robbed⁸ and everything was taken (roughly $15,000 in money and merchandise, uninsured); although the four thieves were arrested in Denver a month later, the jewels were not recovered; it was years before the Daynes family recovered financially from the robbery. J. Fred bought the Daft Building (see Figure 2⁹ ) from the heirs of Mrs. Sarah Daft of Salt Lake City for $70,000 in 1909. He paid the $2000 deposit and raised the rest of the $20,000 down payment by selling 20,000 shares (of a total of 25,000 shares) of stock in the Daynes Building Co. Investors included the then-governor John C. Cutler; the final payment on the building was made in 1928.¹⁰ It became the ‘Daynes Building’ at 128 South Main Street in Salt Lake City that today still has the large Daynes sign painted on the side of the building. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Buildings in 1975.¹¹

The Daynes Family and the CHURCH

The Daynes family had many interactions with the LDS Church as Salt Lake City prominent merchants and civic leaders for more than one hundred years. They also married within the Church hierarchy: John Daynes’ (6) daughter Ida Maud Daynes (15) married a son of Lorenzo Snow [5th Church President]; a grandson Joseph J. Daynes Jr. (24) married a daughter of Wilford Woodruff [4th Church President]; another grandson Harold Sharp Daynes (26) married the daughter of an apostle John W. Taylor; and another grandson Lincoln Anson Daynes (37) married a granddaughter of Joseph F. Smith [6th Mormon Church President] and niece of Joseph Fielding Smith [10th Mormon Church President].

Upon the Daynes family arrival in the Valley in 1862 a ‘jollification’ in honor of the safe arrival of the company was held at their campsite at the old 8th Ward square (the site of the current City and County Building). John and his son Joseph (age 11) were natural musicians and had brought with them a melodeon [small pump (reed) organ] and an English concertina. Joseph was an expert on the former and his father on the latter. When he heard Joseph play the melodeon with blocks on his shoes so he could reach the pedals, Brigham commented: ‘there is our tabernacle organist’. Brigham sent young Joseph J. Daynes east to study organ and when he returned he supervised the installation of the tabernacle organ in 1867 becoming the first organist at age 16, a position he held for 33 years.¹²

Upon arrival in the Salt Lake Valley the Daynes Family lived the first three years on North Temple across from the temple lot (the old 17th Ward). When John Daynes approached Pres. Brigham Young (after 1865) to buy a block on the Avenues (So. Temple and 1st Ave, F and G Streets), Brigham told him he could buy the block for $5 in gold. Daynes countered, ‘How much in paper money?’ And Brigham said, ‘Now, Brother Daynes, I told you I would sell you that block for $5 in gold. If you have that $5 in gold then that block is yours, otherwise don’t waste my time.’ Daynes managed to get the $5 in gold, bought the block, and built at 28 F Street (then Oak Street,¹³ in the 20th Ward)¹⁴ with pasture and outbuildings to support livestock and horses.¹⁵

The Edmunds Act of 1882 (directed exclusively at the Mormon Church and the practice of polygamy) made the conviction of polygamy (‘unlawful cohabitation’) punishable by a fine of up to $300 and incarceration in the Territorial Prison.¹⁶ The deputies offered lenient terms to those ‘cohabs’ who would voluntarily surrender themselves. John Daynes had grown-up and established children from his first wife and a lot of small children from his second wife—so he surrendered to the deputies—essentially abandoning his first wife Eliza Miller Daynes (but still financially supporting her), and incurring the wrath of his devout neighbors. Eliza (#1 wife) had her own house next door to her sister-wife Rebecca (#2 wife); so what it really meant was that Eliza’s daughter Lysle became her companion for the rest of her life in her failing health, although Lysle was very attractive and marriageable, had several suitors, and was easily one of the most congenial of all the Daynes children.¹⁷ John Daynes was punished by the 20th Ward by expelling him from the choir for a time;¹⁸ but that didn’t stop the choir at his retirement from awarding him an engraved cane for his 33 years of (continuous?) service as their leader. There was a special program in March 1904 commemorating the event with soloists and an all-Daynes-composed musical program.¹⁹

During the period 1899-1908 the store was located at 26 So. Main, a building owned by Heber J. Grant, then an apostle in the LDS Church (later 7th Church President, 1918-1945). John Daynes did not always have amicable relations his landlord. Grant ran an insurance business on the second floor and wished he had a more successful tenant as the jewelry store struggled to survive during that period. As he passed Daynes on the street, Grant’s comment was always ‘Are you still here?’ Later (1909) when John’s son J. Fred was selling stock in the Jewelry Co. so he could buy the building at 128 So. Main, Grant declined to purchase any as he said it was ‘too risky’.²⁰

The Daynes Family Schism

When Mary Ann Anson Daynes (wife of J. F. Daynes II) died in 1919 of diabetic complications; she left a young family of five, the youngest being the 3-year-old Lincoln Anson Daynes. The widower J. Fred married again six months later Mabel Pearl Anderson, a recent widow herself. Pearl was a rigorous disciplinarian to her new stepchildren, and was not popular with any of them. Worst of all was the reaction of the oldest girl, Jean, who was then just 14 and very attractive. She had a mercurial temperament which significantly worsened her relationships at home; in desperation to escape her family situation (according to her brother),²¹ she took up with Eugene Callister Hinckley after several boyfriends her father did not approve of and they got married in 1922 (she was 17). There was a son Howard born in 1923. She decided she didn’t like life in Utah or Eugene, but he would not give her a divorce. In order to facilitate the divorce (1926), her father arranged for her to see his attorney Alonzo B. (Lon) Irvine, an ambitious local politician with an eye for the governor’s job. He was captivated by her and sexually assaulted her in his office. She immediately told her father and there was a confrontation where J. Fred told Lon he was finished in politics as he would charge him publicly with rape if he announced his candidacy for any political office. Jean fled to California, where her father attempted to place her in a nunnery ‘Sisters of the Bleeding Heart’.²²

Alonzo Blair Irvine (1875-1940), a Utah state senator who had served two terms by 1929,²³ wanted to insure that Jean would not make trouble for him as he wished to continue to pursue a career in politics. Because her father J. Fred had such great animosity toward him, he approached Roy Daynes, Jean’s uncle and J. Fred’s brother, and offered him $25,000 if he would locate Jean in California and convince her to sign and notarize an affidavit exonerating him. At this time Roy was in financial trouble so he went to California to see his niece and sweet-talk her into signing the document and was ultimately successful. When Lon finally received this document, he flaunted it before J. Fred, who went ballistic when he found out that he had been betrayed by his brother Roy. The brothers were estranged from then on. They were neighbors on F Street in the Avenues and each tried to make as much trouble as they could for the other as they each converted their houses into rental apartments.²⁴ In the mid-1930’s Roy allowed the Consolidated Music Company (in which both brothers had stock) to go bankrupt (returning 15 cents on the dollar to investors) and then founded the Daynes Music Company (of which he was sole proprietor) from what remained.²⁵ And so the jewelry and music businesses were very much separate from that time on.

Generation One

6. John Frederick Nicholas Daynes¹ (Thomas^A) born⁵⁶ 15 Apr 1831 at Norwich, Norfolk, England and christened at St. Paul Parish, Norfolk; he died of septicemia (from chronic cystitis and urethritis)⁵⁷ or Bright’s disease⁵⁸ 30 Mar 1905 at Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah and was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.⁵⁹ A jeweler and watchmaker, he was founder (in 1850) and proprietor of a jewelry store with an adjacent saloon in Norwich and he founded a jewelry store in Great Salt Lake City called ‘John Daynes and Sons’, established 1862 at No. 10 East 100 South⁶⁰ and later at 26 South Main Street.⁶¹ His family believed one reason the Daynes family joined the Church in England was his wife Eliza’s desire to separate him from his saloon (which lost money) and to get him to focus on the watchmaking business (which made money).

He was a lifetime pipesmoker and used to smoke his pipe on the walk to choir practice, knock the ashes out on the side of the Church building, and put it in his handkerchief pocket, bowl outward, until after choir practice.⁶² He was only 5 feet 2 inches tall, but was physically very active. A favorite family activity was to go to Saltair; his son J. Fred attested that his father was the only one he had ever encountered who could stand on the rail and dive into the water of the Great Salt Lake (most people then and now try to keep their heads dry at all costs).⁶³

He married⁶⁴ 31 Mar 1850 at St. Paul Parish, Norwich, Norfolk, England (1) Eliza Miller, daughter of John and Mary Ann (Jolly) Miller. Eliza was born⁶⁵ 20 May 1831, christened 22 Sep 1839 at Wymondham, Norfolk, England and died⁶⁶ 23 Oct 1916 at Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah.

Evan Stephens, who conducted the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for many years while Joseph J. was accompanist said, ’He was, without doubt, one of the greatest organists of his time.

17. John Frederick² (J Fred) Daynes II (John¹ Thomas^A) born 7 Dec 1872 at Salt Lake City and died 15 Jan 1955 at Salt Lake City. He attended the L.D.S. Business College at Social Hall and helped in his father’s store (‘John Daynes and Sons’) before serving a mission in England for his church (Mar 1898- Jul 1900). An early memory¹²⁵ is having his left hand strapped into a solid leather glove in an effort to cure him of being left-handed (from age 10 to age 12). With his ‘stiffened paw’ he could lick any kid in school; he became ambidextrous. He was a member of a boys club called the ‘Rusty Dozen’ (in the 20th Ward area). His initial assignment working for his father in the jewelry story was the selling of sewing machines. He subsequently learned to be a jeweler and watchmaker from his father and also received the ‘Doctor of Optometry’ degree.¹²⁶
