When a boy he worked on his father's farm and in the saw and grist mill at Gurleyville, and was also employed for about a year in the general store of George Moulton, at Willimantic, going from there to New York City, where he was employed in the New York office of P. W. Turner, a silk manufacturer of Tolland, Conn. There he remained about two years, and then began work in the silk factory at Atwoodville, in the town of Mansfield, for Dimock & Sanders, at 'throwing silk,' and later was employed for a short time in a machine shop at Atwoodville, for Goodrich Holland. Later he was employed in a silk factory in Mansfield Depot for P. W. Turner. At that place his eyesight began to fail, and in the fall of 1860 he went to London, England, for a vacation, making the voyage on a London packet vessel, the ocean voyage consuming twelve weeks. But he did not remain long in London, as he did not like the country. After his return to America he went to Lake Winnebago, Wis., where, in company with his brother Albert E., he attended to and managed the property owned by their father. Later Mr. Gurley went to Denmark, Iowa, and assisted on the farm of Rev. Mr. Turner, a Congregational minister there, and then returned to New York for a time, coming then to Conantville, in Mansfield, where he was employed for a while. In 1876 he went to Stonington, Conn., and was employed for some time by the Atwoods, who were manufacturers of silk machinery there, remaining in Stonington twelve years, during which period he was engaged in several capacities, such as caring for the street lights, assisting the railroad agent, carrying the mail, etc., and was spoken of as the 'busiest man in Stonington.' In 1888 he returned to Willimantic, where he resided until 1895, when he moved to Spring Hill, in Mansfield, where he now lives retired, being fond of a quiet, rural life. "Mr. Gurley was married, Jan. 5, 1866, to Rachel Tifft, born May 3, 1835, in Rhode Island, a daughter of Sanford and Elizabeth A. (Smith) Tifft, the former, of whom a farmer, died in Mansfield. Two children came to Mr. and Mrs. Gurley: Ella Jennette, born Jan. 21, 1873, married Norman G. Blake, of Westerly, R. I.; they reside in Worcester, Mass., and their only child is Vera G., born Jan. 5, 1901. Emma Tifft, born June 6, 1875, married Elmer A. Gore, and now lives in Worcester, Mass., where he is engaged in the clothing manufacturing business: they have one child, Erma W., born Sept. 18, 1896. "Mr. Gurley is a liberal-minded man in politics and also in religion, contributing generously to the Baptist Church of Mansfield, of which Mrs. Gurley is a consistent member. Mr. Gurley is not only a traveler, but also a great reader, and one of the most intelligent and best informed citizens of his locality. For many years he has taken a deep interest in the maintenance of good roads in his vicinity." —Commemorative Biographical Record of Tolland and Windham Counties Connecticut Containing Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens and of Many of the Early Settled Families, Chicago: J. H. Beers, 1903, p. 410. -------------------------
