Biographical History

The Stallings family were pioneers in Utah. The family was established in 1867 with the marriage of Joseph Heber Stallings (1845-1925) and Elizabeth Sarah Wilde (1852-1889). Stallings was born in Nauvoo, Illinois and was part of the westward migration with the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He and his family arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1850, and he was called to settle Coalville, Utah in 1859 where he operated coal mines and later traded in cattle. He also later became prominent in lumber mills. Stallings and his wife Elizabeth had ten children, eight of which lived to maturity. A devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Stallings also married Dorcas Dann in 1883 and Hannah Maria Carroll in 1899 as polygamous wives. He had two children with Dorcas, and three with Hannah.
