Florence was born in West Hiawatha, Utah on December 22, 1920.  Both of her parents, Unzo Kikuchi and Hisa Suzuki Kikuchi were Japanese-born, and the family likely moved to the mining town of Hiawatha area of Utah because her father was a miner.  Hiawatha was founded in the early 20th century as a company town for the United States Fuel Company, and was for a short time a vibrant center for mining, though it is now practically a ghost town.  ","In 1929, the family moved to Kaysville, just north of Salt Lake City.  Florence married Harry Gee Toy in 1944 in Grand Junction, Colorado; no information has been found with regard to internment during WWII. According to the 1946 Salt Lake City directory, the couple was living together while Harry was a cook at the King Joy Cafe.  ","At some point the couple divorced, evidenced by a small undated newspaper clipping present here listing \"Divorces Asked\" which includes: \"Florence Toy from Harry Gee Toy, mental cruelty.\" She requested to have her name changed from Toy back to Kikuchi.  ","Florence passed away from a heart attack in Los Angeles on November 14, 1988.","Also in the collection are photographs of her younger brother Shigeo Kikuchi and her daughter Candace \"Candy\" Jean Toy.","This collection contains three photograph albums, about 600 loose photographs, some annotated, thirty-eight studio photographs, many in their original housing, postcards with written messages, various greeting cards, two diplomas, report cards, newspaper clippings and a deed of Florence Masao Kikuchi Toy (1920-1988), a first-generation Japanese American Mormon living in Utah during the mid-twentieth century.  ","The albums document Florence's life from 1934 to the 1950s. One photograph album titled \"Florence Kikuchi Private\" is dated 1934 to 1940 and includes her high school portraits, events with classmates during two school picnics- one in  Layton, Utah as part of the Layton Japanese School,  and the other in the Tohoku region of Japan, which may relate to a local Japanese Seinen-Kai (Young Men's Association). Pictures of Florence's father and classmates are also included. A second album, dated roughly from 1936 to 1939, contains inscribed portraits of a California pen pal, Masao Kitada, images from school-related events, pictures of schoolmates, and several portraits of her younger brother Shigeo. The final photograph album is undated and features baby photos of Candace Jean Toy, Florence's daughter, who was born sometime after her marriage to Harry Gee Toy in 1944. Many photographs in the three albums are dated and feature dedications to Masao by their subject on the verso.  ","The loose photographs date roughly from the 1930s to the 1960s. They are a mixture of her photos and additional photographs sent to Florence from various friends and family, some of which are inscribed. The studio portraits were sent to Florence from a variety of friends and family photographed at the Broadway, Echer, and Terashima studios in Salt Lake City, but some came from other states, including Nevada, Washington, and California. Several of the studio photographs of young Japanese American servicemen, most of which are dedicated to her as \"Flo.\"  Many photographs have writing on the verso outlining subjects, dates, and dedications. ","The non-photographic content among Florence's papers includes postcards and cards, an envelope of newspaper clippings which include her divorce clipping, obituaries of deceased friends and family members, stories on her hometown of Kaysville, and an article on Franklin Delano Roosevelt,  Candace Toy's Deed of Trust from the State of Washington dated 1975 diplomas including, a certificate of graduation from the LDS Seminary is included, dated April 25, 1937 as well as her Davis County High School diploma dated May 20, 1938 and report cards.

Florence married Harry Gee Toy in 1944 in Grand Junction, Colorado; no information has been found with regard to internment during WWII.

","At some point the couple divorced, evidenced by a small undated newspaper clipping present here listing \"Divorces Asked\" which includes: \"Florence Toy from Harry Gee Toy, mental cruelty.\" She requested to have her name changed from Toy back to Kikuchi.

He received a Ph.D. in Pathology from UCLA in 1975, studying respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the primary cause of infant pneumonia worldwide.","Over a period of fifteen years at the National Institutes of Health and Johns Hopkins University, he and his co-workers developed the thesis that RSV disease could be prevented by administering antiviral antibodies to high-risk infants. He co-founded Virion Systems, Inc. to commercialize this thesis, and serves as its President and CEO. In 1989, Virion Systems and MedImmune, Inc. formed a joint venture to conduct clinical trials that ultimately resulted in the licensure by the Food and Drug Administration of RespiGam™ (1996), and Synagis™ (1998) for the prevention of RSV pneumonia in high-risk infants. Synagis™ is the first monoclonal antibody ever licensed for use against any infectious agent and its first-year sales made it one of the most successful biotech product launches in history.

He received a Ph.D. in Pathology from UCLA in 1975, studying respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the primary cause of infant pneumonia worldwide.\" He has collected LDS Church materials for almost fifty years and has written four books on Mormon topics himself, becoming a recognized historian in his own right. Prince became convinced that the University of Virginia could become an unrivaled center for Mormon Studies with the addition of his collection combined with the presence of an endowed Mormon Studies professorship and its world-class University research library. ","Materials were organized to maintain the original groupings and arrangement created by Dr. Prince. General groupings include pamphlet files, biographical files, David McKay diaries, \"The Deseret News\" and \"The Woman's Exponent\" publications, Senator Reed Smoot subject files, handbooks and other materials concerning the Beehive Girls, the Crisis of Faith survey and reports, ephemera, and audiovisual materials, chiefly DVDs. ","The collection includes a great variety of subjects and formats, works by both practicing Mormons and critics of the religion, all covering a large historical period. It includes works concerning Mormonism of both an official nature and from a popular culture perspective, including magazine articles, cartoons, dime novels, a comic book, and a graphic novel. It contains materials in at least fourteen different languages that demonstrate the world-wide influence of Mormonism. Topics of focus include the structure and practices of the Church, the Book of Mormon, splinter sects, race, sexuality, gay and lesbian Mormons, the role of women in the Church of Latter-Day Saints, polygamy, politics, the temperance movement, crisis of faith surveys, and the presidency of David O. McKay. An appraiser stated that the internal structural changes of the church can be traced in the \"lengthy runs of priesthood, young adult, woman's journals, seminary manuals, etc.\" which were typically replaced periodically or thrown away, but in this case have been retained. The collection richly documents the establishment and development of a distinctly American and modern religion.","The pamphlet files primarily contain printed materials but also include other ephemera on a wide variety of topics, events, and people in the Mormon faith. Pamphlet files were organized by size: general pamphlets and large pamphlets. Prince maintained pamphlets about the subject of temperance separately. ","Biographical files about significant members in the church were kept by the donor; much of this information was generated from a Brigham Young University website. These materials are organized alphabetically by title or name. ","Runs of publications include \"The Woman's Exponent,\" a bimonthly newspaper (1873-1914) from members of the Relief Society, an LDS women's organization, and an incomplete twentieth century run of \"The Deseret News.\" ","Also present are 121 volumes of typescript copies of the \"journals\" of David O. McKay, that were kept by McKay's long-time secretary, Clare Middlemiss, who had intentions of writing McKay's memoir. Along with the diaries are additional volumes titled archival subjects, scrapbooks, published materials and related material. ","The Senator Reed Smoot research files all focus on the Congressional hearings about whether the United States Senate should seat Senator Reed Smoot, an apostle in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, elected by the Utah legislature in 1903. The hearings began in 1904 and continued until 1907, when a Senate vote failed to achieve the two-thirds majority required to expel a member. This allowed Smoot to retain his seat.","Audiovisual materials consist primarily of CDs and DVDs chiefly of interviews about a 2006 church history tour and KJZZ Television scholar interviews both related to the Joseph Smith Papers Project and a media kit, \"The House of the Lord.\"","The collection also includes 53 boxes of rare books which will be cataloged separately. A significant part of the collections has been included in the University's circulating collection.","Many of the materials in the collection have a Flake number. This number refers to its citation number in the Mormon bibliography, 1830-1930, by C.J. Flake and Larry W. Draper, relating to the first century of Mormonism. Volume 1 is A-M and Volume 2 is N-Z.
