JOHN B. TOLER.—In business circles of Seeley no name is known better than that
of John B. Toler, one of the men whose standing has grown with the town and who
has now a large measure of success. Mr. Toler is a native of Carbondale,
Illinois, and was born June 13, 1874, a son of John W. and Harriett E. (Spiller)
Toler. His mother passed away in December, 1889, and is buried in the Oakland
Cemetery of Carbondale. His father is still living and resides in Carbondale. He
is one of the pioneers of his state. John B., the subject of this review,
secured a good educational training in the public and normal school. Early in
life he entered the drug business with Francis A. Pricket, president of the
State Board of Pharmacy. Here Mr. Toler became proficient in his chosen field.
Mr. Toler came to Seeley and engaged in business and has been proprietor of the
Seeley Drug Store since December 15, 1913, meeting with every success. Mr.
Toler's success in the business world has come as a direct result of his own
ability and industry and he is known as one of Seeley's most substantial
citizens. Fraternally he is a member of the I. O. O. F. He is also a member of
the Auto Club of Southern California. He was united in marriage in Carbondale,
Illinois, December 29, 1892, to Miss Pearl I. Holt, daughter of Harry and Jane
Holt, both deceased. To Mr. and Mrs. Toler have been born two children: Awanda,
wife of Orman J. Lewis of Carbondale, Illinois; and Francis B., a cotton buyer.
Mr. Toler has the respect and esteem of his business associates and both he and
his wife have a large circle of friends.
