Floyd Wayne Fagg (b. May 4, 1910, d. October 14, 1997) was born on May 4, 1910 to Edward Albert Fagg and Emma Elisa Biesinger Fagg. He was appointed U.S. Government Comptroller for Guam and the Trust Territories in 1969, a position he held with distinction until his retirement from government service in 1977. Earlier in his career, he helped to found the U.S. Army Audit Agency and received numerous citations for his work, including the Presidential Citation. A devoted husband and father, he was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and served as Bishop twice: as Bishop of the Grant Third Ward, in the Grant Stake; and as Bishop of the Guam Ward, at the time a part of the Kaneohe Hawaii Stake. He passed away on October 17, 1997 in Provo, Utah of congestive heart failure. EARLY LIFE Floyd W. Fagg was born to Edward Albert Fagg and Emma Elisa Biesinger Fagg in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 4, 1910. As a child he lived in the family home, just off of Highland Drive and 39th South in Salt Lake City, across from the Wilford Ward LDS Church. In Granite High School, he won numerous awards. During the Depression he worked in the Brickyard laying brick and at the butcher shop owned and operated by his father and uncle, located in Sugarhouse. He delayed his college education twice, once for service to his family and once again for his nation - during the Korean War, he served in the United States Navy in Naval Intelligence. He eventually married Ellen Mulville who he had met while she was employed by Covey Enterprises at Little America as a bookeeper and he was a CPA with Christensen & Fagg in Salt Lake City on October 18, 1951. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. PUBLIC SERVICE In 1958, Fagg moved to Japan with his wife and young daughter in tow to lead the U.S. Army Audit Agency Far East Division. In 1961, he moved to Washington, D.C. to a post in the U.S. Interior Department. Created by an Act of Congress in 1967, Fagg was named the first U.S. Government Comptroller for Guam and the Trust Territories by President Lyndon Johnson. He moved to Guam in July of 1969 and served for eight years in this highly visible post, until his retirement from government service in 1977 at the age of 67. CHURCH SERVICE In 1954, at the relatively young age of 44, Fagg was called as a bishop of a ward in Salt Lake City, the Grant Third Ward. He later served on the stake high council, in a stake presidency, and as a Bishop, yet again, of the Guam Ward.He was featured in an article in the Church News in 1974 for his service. |
