Anne Bradley was from County Tyrone, Ireland. She was married to John Patrick O'Toole. When she came to the United States she lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is where she had her daughters Mrs. Elizabeth Boyd and Mrs. Mary Ann Bustin, in the early 1840's. Patrick was a dry goods dealer. About 1846 they moved to Cleveland, Ohio. She gave birth to twin boys in 1847. One was stillborn and the other was son John Francis O'Toole. In 1849 they had another stillborn boy. Patrick was a merchant and a grocer around this time. In 1856 they moved to Lime, Minnesota to farm. They were enticed to come to California and moved there about 1864. Patrick became a Wood Dealer and farmer and they lived in San Rafael. Anne was known for her remarkable memory. Up to the end she would tell anecdotes and incidents connected with the the early history of Marin county & San Francisco, and was a storehouse of information concerning the days of '49. She had many friends and relatives, and she'd do anything to support them. She was 87 when she died, and was one of the oldest residents of Marin County. Her life had become identified with the growth of the county. She had lived in Marin county 37 years.
In San Rafael, January 22,1900, in the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. Boyd, Mrs. Anne Bradley O'Toole, at the advanced age of 89 years, calmly closed her eyes on all that this world held dear to her and went to meet the reward of her unblemished life, her sublime faith in the greatness and goodness of God, her noble devotion to duty and her unfailing kindness in thought and deed. Though her life had its sorrows, in many ways was she blessed. Though her strong, active mind was a storehouse of wisdom and knowledge, she could be as a child with children. She could meet on equal grounds people of all ages and be their pleasant companion and friend. Without ambition, save to do good, no bitterness ever clouded her cheerful love of all. As a blessing she lived and as a blessed heritage her memory will be forever cherished. - Marin County Tocsin Newspaper, Volume 21, Number 40, 27 January 1900
