| Notes |
- Hannah Elizabeth Wheaton married William Henderson Smith. William H.
Smith is considered "The Father of Coalville", because it was he who
attracted interest to the area as a good place to settle. Hannah and
William settled in Coalville, Utah. Together, they operated the first
hotel in Coalville. Hannah's husband, William H. Smith, was also the
first teacher for the children. He engaged in farming, freighting and
acted as justice of the peace. Hannah E. Wheaton died at the age of
91; she is buried in the Coalville Cemetery in section C, block 6, lot
2, grave 4, next to her husband, who died at the age of 88 - section
C, block 6, lot 2, grave 3.
