William H. Toole.
REV. T, b, WHITE

son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph G..
Toole, was born in Lancaster Ohio,
November IL, 1916, died July IL,
1908 in his 62nd. year. He was
brought by his parents to Logan
when about one year old. He
avaied himself of all the advan-
tages of the public as it existed in
his boy hood days. lie spent his
evenings and Saturdays as clerk
in the Collins store.
At an early age he went to col
Iege at Paughkeepsie N. Y. and
graduated in book keeping. He
was then employed for four or five
years az bookkeepar at Reno Pa.
From 1880 to 1884 he was en-
ployed in Iowa. On his return to
Logan he again entered the store
of Mr.. Collins, where he was
known for many years as a very
efficient and obllging clerk, be-
cause of his never faltering inter
est in his fathers aegiment he
was honored by being chosen a son
of the la O. V. L. of which his
father was adj. general.
In 1896 he filled vacancy of
nine months in the Recorders Of
flee of our county. From there he
went at once to the Auditors Office
where he was retained for two
years. He was book keeper in the
Water Works office, of Logan,
clerk for the Board of Cemetery
Trustees and was elected clerk of
Falls township. He again entered
the Recorders office of the county,
and was the assistant of Recorder
Cohagen for more than year. AS
book keeper Mr.. Toole had few
equals. In the two years of GER
vice in the auditors office, not a
mistake appeared in his work.
The Building and Loan Associa-
tion of our town frequently called
for his service as an unfailiug
source of deciphering complicated
books.
By his early associates ne is re-
membered as handsome young
man. BY the public he is remem-
hered as the efficient, neat book
keeper. BY the family he is re-
membered as a brother beloved,
kind, generous and patient, always
doing his full part to make home
pleasant and happy. 1t was his
custom to bestow a monthly al
lowance as his share of the re-
sponsibility in the home, and
never did he inquire as to how it
was expended.
For thirty years he has suffered
inexpressibly from rheumatism,
working without murmur when
others would have been In bed
After office hours he would spend
the time in identifying the yard
He loved flowers as few men do,
and could almost forget his pain
in association with them. The
touches of his good taste and in
dustry still abide in the yard.
There were two sources of pleas
ant memory in past years to Mr..
ToOle, One was in recalling his
college days and his stay of four
years at Reno, Pa, when he was
living a happy, healthy life. The
other was in recalling the charm
of his mothers beautiful Christian
life. This was stay to his mind
and comfort to his heart.
He did not so we'll remember his
father, who was taken forty five
years ago, but in these twelve
years of absence from his mother
he has never ceased to cherish the
memories for her. Just
two months ago his oldest sister
was taken to the good world. This
'orrow recalled afresh the loss of |
lis mother. He patiently linger-
ID, enduring the pains of body
md the sorrows of heart, until
he end peacefully came ON Sun
lay morning, July IL, 1908.
The funeral services were held
