Mr.. Tolles was one of the oldest OF Sacramentos
citizens. He came here in 1850. He was good
citizens, an upright man, and was respected as
such. He was the father of Mrs X. Hammer,
and died at her residence, where he had long been
sick, and had received every care and attention.
He was kind, afectionate and gentle in the domes-
tic circle, and genial, frank and manly in business
life. He acquired property here by careful man
apement and industry He was known as diner
ing in many views Of life from many people, but
he was while fearless in the utterance OF his sentl-
ments still tolerant and not inclined to offend by
antaponizing. In dietetIcs he adhered to the
regimen of Graham He believed vegetable food
to be sufficient for all OF mans needs, ana made
strong effort to induce his fellow men TO toreSo
the use of animal food and to this end ne STUDIED
and wrote much. He was man OF good mind
and naturally inclined to intellectual matters. MIR.
Tolles was the author Of some astronomical
works, and book on reformed photography,
and OF pamphlets on popular subjects In religion
he tended to Swedenborgianism He believed
profoundly, and with the most perfect faith, that
he daily comaluned with God. His belief was
wholly satisfying that he received commands
direct from the Almighty, was inspired or
moved and instructed by Divine agency He lived
a long and blameless life, and no one ever looked
down into the grave with greater serenity. Short
ly before he died he said to friend that it must
be true that to have accomplished life is greater
than to begin one--a greater achievement to COM
plete life at ripe old age than to commence it,
To him It was folly TO weep at death Rather he
would have friends rejoice at the end of a we'll
spent life He believed in the future state, and
held that OF necessity this state OF existence Is the
worst, and that the next must be an improvement
upon it. He said few days ago, what no one
can say who is rot good citizen, and who has not
lived well, 81 do not fear DEATH because have
never wronged any man. have searched all my
past, as l have lain here sick, and now, IN the
face of DEATH can say that have never inten
tionally wronged any human being" Peace to
his ashes. Al
