Son of Arthur Tolley and Morning Rushing
Arthur Tolley was born in Carroll County and married Morning Rushing. They lived on the Rushing farm. Their first child, George Alston, was born there. The family moved from there to the Houston farm about 1/2 mile east of Mt. Tabor.
Young Arthur grew to manhood learning the art of using the axe. He became an expert in hewing logs that were used extensively in the structures of homes, schools, and churches. One of these was the old Mt. Tabor School about two miles south of Parsons. He loved to dance and had the reputation of being one of the best dancers in Decatur County. He professed faith in Christ and joined the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church.
