David Levi Coley, born of Weston parents who migrated to Lansingburg, New York, returned to his roots and went to work in his grandfather's saw mill on the Saugatuck River in lower Weston. Eventually, he opened a machine shop on the site and made a substantial living manufacturing parts for firearms and iron stoves. The building in the photo is the grinding shop. To the right, the mill pond extended up river to what is now Keene Park on River Road. Coley is on the left standing at the corner of his driveway and River Road. The woman in the middle is Maren Laura Coley. A deacon at Norfield Congregational Church, David Coley is buried with his wife in Coley Cemetery on Weston Road. |
