William Perry Utley (1892-1950)
As usual I do have a story for William Perry and Valeria Utley. I remember things that my grandmother Marjorie Jean Utley-Davis would tell me when I relentlessly stalked her with my pen and paper in hand when I first started this journey of tracking and documenting our family tree, traditions, and family stories. I would like to express my tremendous respect for my Great Aunt Loyce Omar and decline to tell everything I know. Not that there was anything bad about this family groups history, but out of respect I would like to confirm the things I have been told with her and perhaps gain more knowledge about them to preserve for our children's children children...so I will be updating soon with more on the Utley & Meadows clan...I have many aunts, uncles and cousins who are older than me and have first account memories of Grandma Valeria and I would like to ask their participation and write a paragraph or two of their memories to include in an upcoming blog post. Email me at ljbasting@gmail.com or message me on Facebook! Thank you ahead of time!"The Hoosiers"
