With his parents, John and Emmeline Carling, he emigrated to Utah in the year of 1852, and settled in Provo, but was called to Fillmore in 1853 to assist in the settlement of the southern Utah. He was married to Azenath Browning of Ogden and later to Miriam E. Hodson. Moved to Long Valley in 1875. He passed through the trials with the Saints at Nauvoo, crossing the plains, and settling up a new country, but he proved faithful to the end, always bearing a strong testimony to youth of Zion. It was his privilege and pleasure to meet and get acquainted with every president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, from the Prophet Joseph Smith to Joseph F. Smith. He heard many prophecies. Both his wives and five children have passed on before him. He was the father of 16 children. He leaves 11 children, 84 grandchildren and 63 great grand-children, with hosts of friends; also one brother and one sister.(4)

Obituary -- Kane County News

Isaac VanWagoner Carling died May 24, 1911 at 1:35 p.m. of kidney trouble. He had been ailing for some time, but kept on as usual at his work, expressing a determination that his life should end worn out not rusted out. He was confined to his bed May 15th, and suffered continuously until death. He was born Nov. 30th 1831 in Klinesopur, Ulster County, New York.

The funeral services were held May 25, 1911 at 2 p.m. in the Orderville meeting house. Much credit is due the club who decorated the house so beautifully. Bro. Carling's favorite flower, the Sego Lily, being the main flower in decoration, and wreath on the casket was artificial Sego Lillies. The singing was very appropriate.

The speakers were Fred W. Heaton, H.O. Spencer, Bp. Hans Sorenson of Mt. Carmel, Aldred Meeks, David Esplin, Melvin Luke, and Bp. Henry W. Esplin. All spoke of the sterling qualities of the deceased; of his nine daughters and two sons living -- five daughters were with him in his last hours, the others being too far away to get here.
