Rosagua “Rose” Wiley is the granddaughter of Francisco and Manuela Trujillo, who settled Old Topanga in 1886. Her mother Cornelia Gomez answered a call to help at the Trujillo Ranch in 1913, and wound up marrying the oldest son, Dolores Trujillo. Rose married Robert Wiley and raised six children—Marguerite, Robert, David, John, Laura, and Jimmy—on the Trujillo homestead where she still lives today.
