ISAAC TURLEY HISTORY by Marc Haws (presented at the July 5th 2010 Reunion)

This is a story about a man and his wife, and their son, and their house.  It is also about his country and his religion.  More specifically, it’s the story about Isaac Turley, son of Theodore Turley and Francis Amelia Kimberley.  It’s about the house he built for his second wife, Clara Ann Tolton in Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, and his life spent seeking religious freedom as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and colonizing in both the United States or Mexico.  Much of what I will tell you about is information that was related by his youngest surviving son: Isaac Turley Jr., my grandfather.
