Mr. Clegg was born on the 15th of October, 1859, in the city in which he still makes his home, a son of Benjamin and Grace (McIntyre) Clegg. The father, who has now departed this life, was for more than a half century closely identified with every undertaking and enterprise that contributed to the development and upbuilding of the city and county of Tooele. He was born in Lancashire, England, on the 1st of September, 1826, his parents being Joseph and Mary Clegg. In the spring of 1848 he was converted to the faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and in that year left England for America to join the colony of saints who had founded the territory of Utah. He made the long journey across the hot stretches of sand and over the mountain passes as a member of the company commanded by Ezra T. Benson and the first winter of his residence in Utah was spent in the old fort at Salt Lake City. When spring came he made his way to what is now the site of the city of Tooele and located the place which for many years thereafter continued to be his home. There were but few families living in the neighborhood at the time and he was the last of the survivors among those who had located here at the time of his arrival. When he reached Utah he had but limited capital. His entire money amounted to but seventy-five cents. He was also the owner of a cow and a steer. With characteristic energy, however, he set to work and in a short time had accumulated quite a substantial little fortune. As the years passed he won a place among the leading farmers of the country, having thirty-nine acres of highly cultivated land, while he was also extensively interested in cattle and sheep raising. He retired from active life some years prior to his death, his sons taking over the management and care of his business affairs.

In April, 1850, Benjamin Clegg was married in Salt Lake City to a widow with five children. This wife died in 1882. In December, 1853, he married Miss Grace McIntyre, daughter of Peter and Agnes McIntyre, who were natives of Scotland. Mrs. Clegg was born in Millport, Scotland. She became a convert to the Mormon faith in that country in 1844. Her father, Peter McIntyre, had served as a soldier under Napoleon Bonaparte. His wife died, leaving him with a family of six children, whom he brought to America in 1853, establishing his home at Tooele, where he passed away in 1872. Mr. and Mrs. Clegg became the parents of five children: Elizabeth, who married J. S. Brown, of Salt Lake City; Benjamin; Peter, of this review; Agnes, who died at the age of two years; and Grace, who became Mrs. Jones, of Bingham Canyon. The father was ever a most active worker in the church and reared his children in that faith. He filled the office of high priest and his son Benjamin was sent as a missionary to Australia, where he labored for three years.

Samuel W. Lee, residing in Tooele, is well known as stake superintendent for the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Associations and by reason of his expert work as a blacksmith he has also become widely known in various sections where he has labored. Tooele numbers him among her native sons. He was born in 1867 and was the seventh in order of birth in a family of eleven children whose parents were Samuel Francis and Ann (White) Lee. The father was one of the earliest pioneer settlers of Tooele. There seem some men who are fitted by nature to meet the experiences and the hardships of frontier life and such a man was Samuel Francis Lee. He was born July 25, 1834, in Clay county, Missouri, and was of French and English descent. His parents were Alfred and Elizabeth (La Flesh) Lee, who were also American born. They were converted to the faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before the birth of their son, Samuel Francis, and he was reared in that faith, of which he ever remained a worthy adberent. In early life he was a workman on the Mormon Temple at Nauvoo, Illinois, and left that place with the others of the faith who traveled westward to Utah in 1849. His father acted as captain of ten wagons on that long and arduous trip across the plains to their new home. Samuel F. Lee became one of the prominent factors in laying out the city of Tooele and plowed the furrows that indicated where the streets of the new city were to be made. In 1861 he was sent by Brigham Young to Dixie, a pioneer settlement in Washington county, Utah, and there he remained until 1866. Before his removal to that place he disposed of all his holdings at Tooele, as it was expected that he would remain in Dixie. In 1853 Samuel F. Lee wedded Ann White, a daughter of Jonathan White, who died in Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1849. Her mother, Eilzabeth (Dodd) White, afterward married Benjamin Clegg. Ann White and her mother, with four other children of the family, came to Utah in 1849 as members of the company commanded by Ezra T. Benson. They remained in Salt Lake until 1851 and then removed to Tooele. To Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Francis Lee were born eleven children nine of whom lived to adult age Anna became the wife of Alma Tanner of Salt Lake. Joseph W. married Louise Bond and lives at Eureka. Samuel W. is the next of the family, Lottie became the wife of Robert M. Shields and resides at Tooele. Hyrum W., a blacksmith at the smelter in Tooele, married Stella Robinson. Ella is the wife of Francis John, also of Tooele. Edwin W. married Amy Beasley and resides in Salt Lake. Francis Marion married Kalista Lee and both have passed away. Emma V., deceased, was the wife of Brigham Bowen who resides at Brigham City. The mother of these children is still living in Tooele at the advanced age of eighty-three years.

In 1876 Mr. Hale was united in marriage to Miss Eliza Clegg, a daughter of Benjamin Clegg, who was born in Oldham, Lancashire, England, September 1, 1827, and came to Utah with the Ezra T. Benson company in 1849. Her mother was born in England, August 1, 1813, and died December 12, 1881, in Tooele. Mr. and Mrs. Hale had a family of ten children, of whom two died in infancy. Jonathan Herman, now living in the Gem valley of Idaho, where he is engaged in farming and ranching, married Rosetta Keller, of Mink Creek, Idaho, and they have eight children: Zella, Franklyn, Bessie, Rowetta, Herman, Helen, Jeniel and Everett, Olive Amelia, who died in 1910, was the wife of Elmer Wells, who resides at Oakley, Utah, where he is engaged in ranching.
