Belle Tolbert
The death of Mrs. Belle, the good wife of Mr. Erastus F. Tolbert, occurred at her home on South Chestnut street, near the Catholic cemetery. Sunday morning, February 26, 1911, at ten o'clock. Mrs. Tolbert had been a patient sufferer from tuberculosis for nearly a year, and during her illness had received the best medical care and attention from her physician and friends, but the disease was too serious to be allayed and death came as a welcome relief from her suffering. Deceased was a daughter of George and Emily Jones, of the Leatherwood neighborhood, and was born February 6, 1866. She was married to Mr. Tolbert January 1, 1889, and had been a resident of this vicinity about all her life. To this union were born seven children, four girls and three boys, and they are Clara, Blanche, May, Vivian, John, Hollis and James. Deceased was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of this place, and her pastor, Dr. Battelle McCarty, assisted by Rev. S.H. Flory, of the Main Street church, conducted the funeral services which took place at the family home Tuesday morning at ten o'clock and the remains interred in the burying ground at Bethel church south of this place. In the death of this good woman the sympathy of the community is extended the bereaved husband and father, and especially do the small children come in for much pity in the loss of their mother.
