F. Tolley held a reunion in the North Ward Amusement Hall. Through the kindness of his daughr ters we are able to present to our readers a short hiBtory of the founder of this large family in this city. This history was written in 1904, two years before Mr. Tolley died. William F. Tolley was born November 23rd, 1824 at South Moulton, Devonshire, England, a son of Rodger and Susan Fisher Tolley who were descendants of a long line of respectable English farmers of the county of Devon where his father died in 1380 at the age of 88 years. His mother was the daughter of Wm. Fisher, also born in England but whosie ancestors came from the sunny land of France. She died in 1870 at the age f 72 years at the family home in South Moulton. This worthy couple had eight children who lived to manhood" and womanhood. ,Wm. F. Tolley was early initiated into the mystery of agriculture as conducted on the rich Devonshire farms, having only three months schooling in his native town, where he remained until he arrived at the age of twenty one. For Bix years after he was prominently identified with railroad construction work in Wales, being one of the first men to strike a blow in the construction of the South Wales railroad at a place called Neith. Later in the county of in Cornwall, England, he engaged railroad work and mining until he emigrated to America in 1854, when he crossed the Atlantic to New York City, stopping there about four years where he worked on the construction of the Williamsburg and Brooklyn reservoir a magnificknt pieoa of ironwork and masonry. In 1859 he crossed the plains to Utah with a caravan of fellow Churchmen, consisting of 72 wagons drawn by oxen under the command of Ctsptaln Edward Stevenson. Arriving in Utah, he first settled in Ephraim, Sanpete County, and devoted his attention to farming for two years. Later e moved to Fountain Green where he resided for six years and assisted in building up the settlement there, and was also active In the Black Hawk war, for which service he was .
