Arias Guy Belnap (September 6, 1893 – February 26, 1974) was a Utah politician and businessman.〔Jenson, Andrew. "Arias Guy Belnap." LDS Biographical Encyclopedia, vol. IV (1936), pp. 558-59〕 ==Biography== Belnap, second son and child of Hyrum Belnap and second (plural) wife Anna Constantia Bluth, an LDS Church convert from Stockholm, Sweden, was born in the home of his grandfather, Gilbert Belnap, in Hooper, Utah. He was a gifted basketball player whose 1913 season foul shooting record for Weber Academy stood unbroken until the time of his death. In the Fall of 1913 he was called as a Mormon missionary to serve in the Swiss-German Mission. Initially assigned to serve in Barmen, on account of anti-Mormon persecution he was banished from the Land of Prussia to Baden. He was serving in Mannheim, Germany when World War I broke out. He eventually made his way to England, where he was reassigned to the Southern States Mission. He taught at an LDS Church primary school in Buchanan, Georgia until his honorable release in 1916. On September 20, 1916 he married Mabel Harris, daughter of Utah judge Nathan J. Harris and Emma Elvira Oakason. They eventually had 5 children-3 sons and 2 daughters. He took employment with his father's business, Belnap Lumber Company, but soon thereafter moved to San Francisco to work at the Twelfth Naval District Base as a civil servant. While residing in San Francisco, he and his young family nearly perished during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic.〔(Belnap, Arias G.
