William B. Coston was born in 1870 in Nodaway Co. Missouri and
arrived in Wray, Colorado in 1886 with his blacksmith father, Alonzo
Coston. In the summer of 1895 Will and his wife moved to Greeley where Will
apprenticed with a local photographer and a surveyor. In 1898, he and his wife
moved back to Wray where they remained and operated a studio from 1898 into the
1950s. William B. Coston died in 1967.
