Obituary of Tobias B. Nolen
Tobias B. Nolen, son of Thomas and Druzilla Hinton Nolen was born on a farm
near Wallace, Fountain County, Indiana September the 30th, 1855. Here he grew
to manhood and in 1879 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Day, and to
this union 11 children were born 6 sons and 5 daughters.
For many years after his marriage he and his wife lived on a farm until
twenty years ago he and his family moved to Kingman where they continued to
reside until the death of his wife eleven years ago since which time he has
resided with his children, spending most of his time in Kingman.
Having been born and raised in a neighborhood where there was a Primitive
Baptist Church, he espoused that cause and continued a believer in that church
until the end.
He had been in ill health for more than a year, and seriously ill for the
seven weeks, and while all was done for him that could be done, yet it was
without avail, for in the morning hours of Sunday, November 16th he passed
peacefully away at the age of sixty-nine years, one month and seventeen days,
leaving to mourn, six sons, Charles of Huntington, Indiana, Ransom of Clinton,
Thurman of Chicago, William of Attica, Roscoe of St. Paul, Minnesota and Allison
of Kingman, four daughters, Mrs. Clara Gant of Indianapolis, Mrs. Nella
Harrison of Kingman, Mrs. Celia Collins of Attica and Mrs. Ida Cox of Covington,
twenty seven grand children, one brother, Fleming of Indianapolis, one sister,
Mrs. Anna Jackson, of Chicago and many other relatives and friends.
He has paid the price that all must pay. He has gone on unto his reward, and
may peace be unto his departed soul.
