  Notes	D. J. TOOMEY, farmer, P. O. Spearfish, came to Spearfish Valley May 1, 1876, being one of the first men to make a permanent location. He was born on Long Island, N. Y., in May, 1852, and was raised in his native State. From the "Historical Atlas of Dakota" 1884 by A. T. Andreas In 1919, the year that D. J. Toomey, a pioneer from Spearfish, S.D., purchased it, the mill—named the D. J. Toomey Produce Company but known as Toomey's Mills—used 60,000 bushels of wheat and was expected to use 100,000 bushels during the following season. The grinding capacity was 80 barrels of flour per day, with laborers working in three shifts. The Toomey's Mill site was completed in phases. George C. Getchell began construction of the three-story wood-frame mill in 1905, when the Duling and Smith Company was hired to grade the land and build the foundation. After Toomey bought the mill in 1919, he had a concrete grain elevator built in 1920 by F. W. Lehrach Construction Company from Kansas City. That same year, Toomey's Mill was reported to be the largest flour mill in the state. Bakeries within a 200-mile radius used the "White Satin" flour milled here. Toomey's Mills remained a family enterprise—owned and managed by Toomey's daughter, Ella, and his son, Eugene Howard, and Ella's husband, O. Allen Anderson—for many years after Toomey retired. Howard died in 1964, and the mill closed in 1965. http://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/toomeys-mills#sthash.MUDYsRgj.dpuf - See more at: http://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/toomeys-mills#sthash.MUDYsRgj.dpuf His parents Jeremiah Twomey Ellen Sullivan 1860 United States Federal Census about Daniel Toomey Name: Daniel Toomey Age in 1860: 8 Birth Year: abt 1852 Birthplace: New York Home in 1860: New Utrecht, Kings, New York Gender: Male Post Office: Flatlands Household Members: Name Age John Toomey 50 Hellen Toomey 35 Michael Toomey 18 John Toomey 16 Jeremiah Toomey 14 Daniel Toomey 8 Mary Toomey 5 1880 United States Federal Census about Daniel Toomey Name: Daniel Toomey Age: 28 Birth Year: abt 1852 Birthplace: New York Home in 1880: Spearfish Valley, Lawrence, Dakota Territory Race: White Gender: Male Relation to Head of House: Self (Head) Marital Status: Single Father's Birthplace: Ireland Mother's Birthplace: Ireland Occupation: Farming Household Members: Name Age Daniel Toomey 28 Vesta Wales Noyes 1854 – 1941 He married her in 1883 or 1884 probably in Spearfish my theory is that he was in her part of Nebraska in 1870 and went back there and either married her there or brought her to Spearfish to be married. 1900 United States Federal Census about Maude Toomey Name: Maude Toomey Age: 13 Birth Date: Dec 1886 Birthplace: South Dakota Home in 1900: Reeds, Lawrence, South Dakota Race: White Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Daughter Marital Status: Single Father's Name: Daniel J Toomey Father's Birthplace: New York Mother's Name: Vesta W Toomey Mother's Birthplace: Michigan Household Members: Name Age Daniel J Toomey 48 Vesta W Toomey 45 Ella Toomey 16 Ed Toomey 15 Maude Toomey 13 Allan Toomey 11 Ralph Toomey 9 Howard Toomey 6 1910 United States Federal Census about Maude Toomey Name: Maude Toomey Age in 1910: 23 Birth Year: abt 1887 Birthplace: South Dakota Home in 1910: Spearfish Ward 1, Lawrence, South Dakota Race: White Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Daughter Marital Status: Single Father's Name: Daniel J Toomey Father's Birthplace: New York Mother's Name: Vesta Toomey Mother's Birthplace: Massachusetts [Michigan] Household Members: Name Age Daniel J Toomey 58 Vesta Toomey 55 Edward Toomey 25 Ella Toomey 26 Maude Toomey 23 Ralph Toomey 19 Howard Toomey 16 California, Death Index, 1940-1997 about Daniel Joseph Toomey Name: Daniel Joseph Toomey Gender: Male Birth Date: 17 May 1852 Birth Place: New York Death Date: 12 Jan 1941 Death Place: San Diego Father's Surname: Toomey
