TOLLEY, James S.
Red Bluff Sentinel, 02 Mar 1878

Death, on his pale horse, again crossed the threshold of mortal man, and this time taking from among us our worthy and esteemed fellow citizen, James S. Tolley. About three weeks ago he was driven to his bed by a violent and sudden illness from which he never recovered; the last few days of his life he lingered upon the narrow brink between life and death in a comatous fever and in great pain, unconscious of things around him, until early Wednesday morning last when Death stepped in and relieved the mortal body of its sufferings - his soul had winged its way to its Maker. He was a man of Herculean frame, and up to the time when the fatal malady fastened itself upon him he had always enjoyed vigorous health. James Simpson Tolley was a native of Michigan, aged 36 years, 1 month and 18 days. In 1860 he immigrated to this State with his parents and family and settled in Trinity county where he followed mining as his occupation, until 1870, when he moved to Tehama county and settled in Red Bluff. He was a man of undaunted courge, of sterling integrity, kind and generous, with a heart that responded to appeals for aid and sympathy from his fellow man, of good business qualifications, all of which gained for him the friendship and esteem of whomsoever cam in contact with him. He served as Deputy Sheriff under ES Cushing (whose term expires next Monday) about two thirds of the latter's regime, when he resigned his position. He was a strong candidate for the nomination for Sheriff before the last Democratic nominating convention, and had he lived would have filled the position of Under Sheriff during the incoming administration of Chas. F Foster, Sheriff-elect. He leaves a devoted wife, three children and four brothers, three sisters to mourn his loss. His untimely death cast a gloom over the entire community, which deeply sympathise with the sorrow stricken family in this their sad hour of bereavement. The funeral obseques took place at the residence of the deceased last Thursday at 10 a.m., and his remains were followed to Oak HillCemetery by a large number of friends.
