OBITUARY PAGE
Bro. Tolle was born in Lewis Co., Mo., Oct. 5, 1838. He was united in marriage to Miss Maranda E. Shaw Aug. 29, 1865 He was converted at the age of 18 and united with the Baptist Church. After his marriage he with his wife became a member of the M.E. Church, South. In the fall of 1874 they came to California and finally settled in Cerritos (their present home), where in 1880 at a holiness camp-meeting he was unmistakably sanctified by the Holy Spirit, becoming soon after a member of the Holiness Church in its pioneer days, living and dying in the same faith. He will be much missed by the little church at Long Beach, where his faithful presence added cheer and life to the devotions. God in Great goodness permitted his children to be with him more or less during his long illness and listen to his gracious words of Joyous victory, amid great suffering see his patience and witness his peaceful end. In all his suffering he proved the truth and power of Christ not only to save but often to fill with raptures of joy. I was often permitted to visit and pray with him. The funeral was at his home. Text, "To live is Christ, to die is gain." Many friends followed the hearse to the cemetery on signal Hill, which overlooks the seaside city and the great ocean's expanse. We deposited the body to await the Master's call, where the glorious reunion of loved ones may be enjoyed throughout eternity. His great anxiety was that his family might all be saved, and when encouraging me on to the rescue he would often be melted into sympathetic tenderness. His faith claimed his loving family. May they with the noble incentive of athe final faith and victory of father, vie one with another as to who will fill the place made vacant by Jehovah's call. J.F.

| TOLLE---Nimrod B. Tolle was born March
25, 1849, in
the State of Missouri, where he lived till 1861, when he
moved to Denton County, Texas. In 1889 he removed to
Gunsight, Texas, where he made his home till his death,
which occurred August 22, 1905. Bro. Tolle was converted and
joined the M.E. Church, South, in 1901. Although he was a
member of the Church for only four years, he was a very
useful member, and the Church has lost a good worker. We had
only closed the Gunsight meeting about two weeks before his
death. During this meeting he worked mightily for the Lord.
Bro. Tolle leaves a wife, one daughter and two sons and a
host of friends to mourn his loss. Our prayer is that the
sons may follow their father in his love and service to the
Lord. We know where to find Bro. Tolle. His testimony during
the meeting and his life is evidence. God bless the
sorrowing ones. B.R. WAGNER This obituary was found in an old bible. The name of the newspaper is not shown. Shared by Thoren Tolle Meyers |

was always open to the weary traveler, no man went hungry
from his door. Hanigh tasted of poverty and hardship he knew
how to sympathize with the unfortunate. Religuously Mr Brown
was a Methodist, having united with that church about 30
years ago at Long Point. His house was always a stopping
place for the circuit rider, and upon his shoulders, with a
few others, fell the greatest weight of responsibility of
the support of the church at that place. He started out in
live early, his father dying when he was eight years of age,
throwing him upon his own resources. He hired out to work at
12 1/2 cents a day through the summer time, and in winter
worked on a flat boat running between Cincinnati and New
Orleans. He was married to malinda Toole October 22, 1847,
in Kentucky; emigrated to Illinois in 1852, and died on
Thursday, March 30, 1899, aged 82 years, 2 months, and 13
days. All the children were present at the funeral but Mrs
