  Short biography of George STAPLES Contributed By Dail Allen · 10 July 2014 HISTORY OF GEORGE STAPLES George Staples, son of James Staples, was born in London, England in June 1837; the exact day is not known. His father and family started across the plains in 1850 but George took sick with mountain fever and could not travel so he was left with a band of Sioux Indians and was cured of his sickness and stayed with the Indians for two years. He was then fourteen years of age, and was taken to Salt Lake where his father was helping to build the temple and tabernacle, working as one of the masons. He stayed here for several years, during which time he married Lauretta Rappleye. He then moved to Lehi and later to “Dixie,” then back to Hatton, then called Corn Creek. He stayed here for several years, moving again over into Sevier County, and again to Mesa City, Arizona and was among the first to use the water taken from the Salt River. He and his family lived here for six years, and then because of extreme heat moved back to Elsinore, in Sevier County and took up stock raising. His death occurred in 1890, about September in the following manner: His son, William, dreamed one night that his father was killed by one of his prize Holstein bulls. The dream seemed so real that he awoke his wife and was determined to go from Kanosh where he was living, over to Elsinore and kill the bull, but his wife talked him out of this notion telling him it was only another dream. About two weeks later William saw two men coming down the road from Elzinore and remarked, “Here come some men with news of my father.” Upon coming up to where he stood, they told him of his father’s death which had happened just as he had dreamed; his bull had pushed him through the fence and he had died a few days later. Surviving him were his wife and their entire family of thirteen children: all his children lived longer than either him or his wife.
