From San Francisco paper we
gather the following relative to the
late Rev. Geo. B. Tolman who died
in Santa Barbara, CAL, Sept. Sd:
The Rev. Geo. B. Tolman was born
in Greensboro, VT, July "a, 1882.
The most of his life and career as
minister was spent in his native state.
He graduated at Burlington; was
first ordained pastor of the church in
Sheldon, where he remained some
what more than seven years +; after
wards at Brookfield for eight years
more; he finally left his native state
in 1880 to come to California. His
health had never been vigorous, and
at last became so seriously impaired
that the only chance left for pro-
| longed life seemed to be in this mild
er climate. After coming here he
rallied and assumed the duties of
pastor of the Congregational church
in Santa Barbara, when after a few
| months once more, and for the last
time, he laid aside his work, and
gradually sunk into death. This
came to relieve him of pain and care
and peacefully he went from us to
his Fathers house. May our last
end be like his.
Mr.. Tolman has left behind him a
wife and four children. His many
friends here sympathize deeply with
them in their great sorrow. May the
God of the departed be their God
evermore

The late meeting of the Orleans
Medical Association was one of the
most interesting ever held. A new
