He attended school in Pleasant Grove, Utah and worked at various jobs during his early years.
When still a young boy, the scarlet fever struck the family causing partial deafness to Hyrum and three of the other children at home. They had to be placed in the deaf school in Ogden, Utah.

Although they never had any children of their own, they were very kind to their nieces and nephews.
