This Postcard is a little over a hundred years old, and photo is thought to be the same.

This postcard was sent to Mrs. W.F. Tolley of Nephi, Utah. That would be Sarah Warren Tolley, first wife of Wm. Fisher Tolley. It was sent from Gridley, California in June, 1916, where one of her sons settled and became an excellent and well known builder. The postcard sender is from grandchildren Lola and Lucille. I am not real certain who the photo is of, but sometime ago, I wrote on the back that it may be "Miran Tolley", but not sure where I got that information. Most of the Juab County Tolley family came from England and were Mormon pioneers, but this woman carries a Catholic type Cross, so not sure. We think it is 1860 to 1880 vintage.
