All data from Lewis. From D. T. McAllister's Journal: "Jan 1, 1861:Tuesday. Baptized 11 among the number were my mother, brother Richard,his son, William, sister's daughter, Mary E. Culin."
Emma Smith Walling (1844-1915) Compiled by Eleanor M. Hall
Emma, the daughter of Warren and Lydia (Crawford) Walling was born20 July 1844 at Keyport, Monmouth, New Jersey. As her name so plainlyshows, her parents were members of the Church, when she was born. Theywere baptized in Aug 1840. Emma was their 4th child.
Emma was 16 years old when her family crossed the plains and arrivedin Utah on Aug 9 1860. She was unusually beautiful. There is astory told that even the Indians were struck by her beauty, she had tobe hidden in a wagon for 3 days to discourage the amorous approach ofone particularly love-smitten brave, who followed their train severaldays in his effort to attract her attention.
The Richard Wesley McAllister family were members of the samepioneer co in which the Walling family crossed the plains and they hadknown each other well in their small branch back in Phil. No doubtRichard Wesley's attention was drawn to Emma as she matured intowomanhood. On March 21, 1863 she became his plural wife. She was 19years of age and Richard was 39. She was only 1 year and 26 days thesenior of Richard's oldest son, Will. (William J. F. II). We are toldby family members who lived in their households that the relationshipbetween the 2 wives was beautiful. Elizabeth Eleanor Bell, RichardWesley 1st wife, lacked 3 days of being 1 year older than he. Perhapsthis seemingly
extreme difference in age became a bonding factor between them.Elizabeth Eleanor, whom everyone called "Lib" took the young wife inas a favorite daug. and taught her the economies and short-cuts shehad acquired throught her nearly 20 years of family life. "Lib"helped Emma with her young babies and growing family. She admired herfor staying in Utah when her family became discouraged and returned totheir former home in Iowa. Emma and her sister Rachel who wereemployed in the home of Pres Brigham Young, cast their lots with thesaints in Utah. "Lib" greatly admired that, beside she thoroughlyliked the girl, and called on her through the illnesses of her life,for Emma was a natural nurse. She relied on Emma during her lastillness.
After the Manifesto, Richard Wesley resided in Emma's home. It wasthe custom, at that time, when a pologamy practicing husband chosewhich wife to live with permantly, he was to choose the one with thegreatest burden of small children to raise. Emma's hands were veryfull. She was the mother of 9 daug and 1 son. Emma lost 3 of herlittle girls when they were young. Josephine, and Emma died the samesummer when diptheria raged through the valleys of Utah. Elizabethalso lost a child that summer. 1867 was a dreadful year for theirfam. In Sept 1881 Emma's little 6 year old Rachel Abgeline passedaway. Her other 6 girls and 1 son grew to maturity and are honoredtoday by fine descendants to
the 4th and 5th generations.
Emma took advantage of lessons in nursing and doctoring that weretaught in the Valley. She became an excellent practical nurse and wasin demand as a midwife and practical home remedy doctor. She wascalled to the homes of the sick not only for her expertise in herprofession, but also because of her good nature and natural kindness.She had a great sense of humor, and could laugh at happenings whenless cheerful persons were prone to cry. She was called "GoodCompany."
In her later, widowed years, she became "Matron at the City andCounty Bldg." in Salt Lake City. She had nursed her husband of 80years through his last long illness, and she, being only 60 years ofage, felt this opportunity to work in this leadership capacity at thebldg would be good for her. She enjoyed this position for severalyears.
She died 15 Aug 1815 and was laid beside her husband and "Lib" inthe Salt Lake Cem. In her last illness she became very close to "theother side" and told those caring for her that she was in communionwith her family members who had long since passed away. She toldthem, "her husband, his first wife, her parents, and departed childrenhad come to take her home." She said to Vena, a grandchild, "Younever did see your grandfather, did you? Well he is standing rightthere. Step aside child you are standing in front of him."
Death - 15 Aug. 1915 Salt Lake City, Utah.
Buried - Salt Lake Cem. Bock E15 Grave #2.
