John Toller was 84 years of age and one of the pioneers of that section of the county. He was a good citizen and lived a quiet life, taking little interest in public affairs.

He leaves three sons, Ambrose, Elisha, and Wid, and one daughter, Mrs. James Eagleston.

The funeral services were held Tuesday and the remains laid to rest at the Mano Cemetery.
