E. C. Tolley Passes In Kalispell

Word was received here this week that one of Liberty county's pioneer residents, E. C. Tolley, passed away in Kalispell Wednesday, September 11, following a lingering illness. Burial was in the Kalispell cemetery.

Old-timers will remember Mr. Tolley very well. He platted Tolley's addition to Joplin and operated the Tolley Livestock Co. there for many years. Prior to coming to Montana, Mr. Tolley platted the town of Tolley, North Dakota, which bears his name.

Mr. Tolley served as county commissioner of Hill county from this area before Liberty county was formed and while commissioner was instrumental in ordering the construction of the cut through the Dobie ridge 14 miles south of Joplin. He left this county in the late twenties and has made his home at Kalispell until the time of his death.
