Elder Stapley was a member of the Quorum of the 12 from October 1950 till his death in 1978. He was called to the quorum of the 12 by George Albert Smith while in the elevator at the Hotel Utah. He filled the vacancy left by George F. Richards. The vacancy left when he died was filled by Elder James E. Faust. I remember when he came to preside over our stake conference in Grand Junction one time when I was a young kid, and my Dad took me up to meet him after one of the sessions. The following is a letter he wrote to my Grandmother responding to a question she had about genealogy. This is a link to a short biographical sketch which gives the story of his call.

Text should be scanned at 600 dpi to be crisp. Saving as a jpeg may introduce artifacting but it should be much more legible.
Thank you for the pictures. Do you mind if I use them on other sites? I would love for you to post these at findagrave. Here are their 4 individual pages:
