William Valores Uttley, born in Elmira was the first born of Samuel Uttley and Mary Baxter Taylor. The first name of "William" may have followed the custom of naming the first son after the paternal grandfather. His middle name however was a truly unique choice. Later in life he was always known as "Ben".
He and Sara Matthews were wed in Doon, Ontario on September 11, 1889. William was the school teacher at Limerick School across the Grand River from Doon.
On January 30 1893 Ben purchased the Berlin Daily Telegraph which began a twenty-five year association with local newspapers. In 1919 he retired from the Record in Berlin and moved back to Elmira where he bought The Elmira Signet. He sold the Signet several years later but continued his pursuits in the field. In 1937 he published The History of Kitchener, the definitive work on that subject at that time.
