This original photo shows four generations of the Nowlin family, who got their start in Juab County a hundred years ago via the Tolley Family.

This is a postcard photo of the Nowlin family of Juab County, Utah. USA. The photo was taken in about 1919. Starting from the right is Maria Tolley Nowling, who was born on Oct. 1, 1851, in South Molton, Devonshire, England. Along with her family, they came to Utah with early Mormon pioneers. Her father was Wm. Fisher Tolley, who was first directed to Sanpete County to build roads, then to Nephi to do the same, but did Marshall work as well. One of his daughters was Maria, who married Jabus Nowling on Jan. 23, 1871. In the history of Juab County, Jabus was show to be very active in community affairs. At the time of the photo, Maria was 68 years old. The second person to her left is daughter Sadie, who was 41 at the time. The young lad is Morris Nowling, who was 15 months old, and his mother was Jamie who was 21 years old. The single photos are of Jabus and Maria. If a member of the Nowlin family can get in touch with me, we would like to give them this photo before I loose it again.
