L. Y. TOLBERT

Mr. Lane Y. Tolbert when a resident of Chattahoochee, which he was until his
home became a part of the reservation, was (and is of same type in the adjoining
county, now) a citizen, of the highest type—always taking a decisive stand on
all moral issues.

He represented this county in the general assembly 1911-12 having entered
the race as a candidate favoring the strict enforcement of the prohibition laws.

Mr. Tolbert's private life has been consistent with the principles advocated
for the public welfare.

Another representative of this name, the wife of Mr. Tolbert's brother, Mrs.
W. C. Tolbert was a member of the legislature being the first lady to represent
Muscogee County, and proving the capability of womanhood in legislative affairs.

Another brother, A. S. Tolbert who married Miss Maude Dodson, with their
daughter Catherine resided here until they removed to Texas with several other
members of this family about twenty years ago.

L. Y. Tolbert married Miss Carrie, a daughter of Ross (dec'd) and Mrs. Nora
(Johnson) Snellings who still resides at her home in Muscogee, not far from the
line of Chattahoochee County. Mr. and Mrs. Tolbert whose splendid family
consists of two sons and three daughters, three of whom are married, have lived
at Midland since they left Chattahoochee where they were among its most
estimable citizens.
