Marjorie Holm

The compiled volume Sermons of John Y. Barlow credits a reporter named Marjorie Holm on dated talks from 1935 through 1949. A public civil record that would fix her birth and death dates has not yet been confirmed. A later court brief names a Marjorie Holm together with Carl O. N. Holm; this page does not treat that as a confirmed identification.

The compiled volume Sermons of John Y. Barlow credits a reporter named Marjorie Holm on dated talks from 19 March 1935 through 26 June 1949. Of the unique talks published from that compilation, 20 carry her name: 18 in her name alone, and 2 jointly with Leona Jeffs. The earliest is the funeral sermon for Joseph Leslie Broadbent.1

The published talk of 22 June 1948, reported by Marjorie Holm, is introduced in the compilation with the words “President Barlow came to our house on June 22, 1948, and he said:” and is titled “Carl Holm Will Be Called to the Apostleship.” This site already has a page for Carl O. N. Holm. The wording does not by itself prove who lived in that house.2

A 1977 Utah Supreme Court brief in Big Butte Ranch, Inc. v. Marjorie R. Holm names Marjorie Holm (also as Marjorie R. Holm) as a party, with Carl O. N. Holm, Carl W. Holm, and Esther B. Holm, to a real-estate contract dated about 1 April 1969 for a farm in Idaho. The brief states that Carl O. N. Holm was the principal purchaser and had died before that action was filed, and that Carl W. Holm was his son. This page does not treat the 1935–1949 reporter and the woman named in that brief as confirmed to be the same person.3 Obituaries for other women named Marjorie Holm, with no Short Creek or Salt Lake connection shown in the sources used here, are not used as identifications. No birth date, death date, or parents’ names are given here.
