Biographical History
The Stallings family were Mormon 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 Mormon westward migration. 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.

Custodial History
Athletics photographs and medal in the collection were assembled by Joseph Stallings's son, William Stallings, and the commencement photograph came from Alice Hazel Stallings. Alice Stallings married Robert James Evans, who contributed the photograph of the university basketball team he played on. Alice inherited the athletics photographs, which were left to her son, Robert John Evans. He left them in turn to his son, Robert Pugmire Evans, who donated them to the repository.
