Tolman Cousins!

Dean Tolman, Tom Tolman, Tracie Tolman Turner

My parents and I had the privilege of going to Bountiful Cemetery for their pioneer walk through. They had selected several pioneer graves and had people, some family members, represent them and tell of their life. I was so excited to bring my Dad, Dean. He has always told us how strong our Tolman Ancestors are. We are double line Tolman. Parley Lambert Tolman married Lydia Vilate Tolman. My dad knew quite a bit about his Grandpa Parley's side but not much about his Grandma Vilates. It was amazing being there with him and my mom learning about our wonderful ancestors Judson and Sarah Lucretia Holbrook Tolman. Along with Joseph and Hannah Flint Holbrook. Jaren and Sarah Jane Burningham Tolman. To hear him say as we were leaving that he never knew that he had such a strong pioneer history made me so happy.

We also had the privilege of meeting a distant cousin Tom Tolman who works so hard each year to set this up. Thank you Tom, I can't wait to see you again next year. And to all my Tolman cousins, it is well worth the drive for the history you will learn and people you will meet!
