.....The father (Thomas W. Lee) is a native of Tooele, born March 29, 1853, and the mother's birth occurred in Wales, February 2, 1856. The father is a carpenter by trade and also a bee keeper. He worked at his trade in Utah for a number of years and afterward removed to the Salt river valley of Wyoming, where he took up a homestead and continued the cultivation of the place for six years. He then removed to lona, Bonneville county, Idaho, where he again followed carpentering and engaged in business as an apiarist. Along the latter line he developed a business of large proportions and he was one of those who organized the honey production interests of this part of the state, becoming the first president of the association. He also taught school in Wyoming but is now concentrating the greater part of his attention upon bee culture at his home in lona. His wife was brought to the new world by her parents, the family being eight weeks on the water in coming from Wales to the United States. They traveled from New York to St. Louis in box cars and Mrs. Martha L. Lee when eight years of age walked with her parents from Omaha to Salt Lake City with a company of Mormon emigrants from England. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Lee were ten children, six of whom are yet living, while three died in infancy and one other, Thomas B., the eldest, died at Camp Kearney, California. He was a first lieutenant of Company D, One Hundred and Fifty-eight Infantry, having served as such for four years, during eighteen months of which time he was in active service on the Mexican border. The others of the family are: Lewis A., of this review; Mrs. Mary L. Hanson, of lona; Arthur W., also residing at lona; Mrs. Ottella Guptill, whose home is at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Franklin B., living at Coeur d'Alene; and Wilfred D., who was with the United States army in France in the great World war. The parents reside at lona, where they are held in high esteem by all who know them.
