In 1909 Samuel Dicen Farley sold the family farm on Bare Bone Creek and moved into this Toll House in Bedford on Sulfur Road, notice the Toll Gate on the right side of the photo. Photo was probably taken in 1909 or early 1910 since three of the five standing on the porch were deceased by Spring of 1910. On the porch is the Family of Richard Ollie Farley and Rosanna Farley, from left to right, Chester Farley, Sadie Violet Farley, Gilbert Farley, Rosanna Farley holding Rosetta Farley. Foreground, Perry Jennings Bryan Farley, Samuel Dicen Farley, William Arthur Farley, Amanda (Lewis) Farley, Nancy Alice (Stone) Farley, Clara May Farley, Anna Bell Farley. Nancy Alice Stone married John Wesley Farley, Clara May was their daughter.
Surely there must be an interesting story behind the fact that there was a Toll Gate on Sulfur Road?
