K. Rogers 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 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.
