Tolen the people of the City of Stillwater have lost the service of a oapabls,upright and public spirited representative; and the Individ- ual members of the Council have been deprived of the aid and counsel of an Inti- mate friend who was s man of splendid ability,eound judgment and scrupulous in- tegrity. Mr. Tolen was born in Washington County,Minneeots,and was educated in the r,g public schools of Stillwater. He lived in Stillwater hearty all his life . His home and business life was ideal. Re was an earnest. -.and whole hearted sup- porter of any plan that had for its object the upbuilding of the City of Btili= water,whioh he loved,ot the promotion of clean outdoor sports for the health and happiness of its inhabitants. Hs was one of the originators of play -grounds f or the children of our City,attendsd to the purchase of the necessary playground apparatusand helped to install it. At the time of his death he was a member of the Playgrounds Commission. He was the owner of the Stillwater Baseball Club, and he so successfully managed it that it was the best of its alass.It was the moans of advertising Stillwater tar and wide. The Rod and Gun Club was starts-d by him. All outdoor sports appealed to him,and in the enjoyment of the health giving pastimes the ons inflexible rule be always followed was that any man who took part in them should play the game squars,else be was not a true sportsman or gentslman. In his many successful business activities he was guided by the same rule of action. Hs himself played the business game honestly and squarely and be bad no patience with those who adopted the opposite course. No bad an entirely original and refreshing way of expressing hie viswe,whioh always rang true. Having recently been appointed a Connoilmsn,be entered upon the diaobarge of his duties with enthusiasm and energy. He was prominent in business and bank- ing circles, having been the chief originator of the Cosmopolitan State Bank, of which eh was president at the time of his death. Mr. Tolen believed in a greater Stillwater and that South Stillwater and Oak Park should become a part of the City,and if annexation should ever beooee an accomplished fact be thought all should pull together In oo-operation to make Stillwater a large manufacturing center. A short time prior to his death he called together a number of actibe business men from the three communities and laid before them his plan for a bigger city that could manufacture products so PI suooesefully compete with St. Paul and Minneapolis manufacturers. Better roads between St. Paul and 9tilkwarer were a part of his sobers so that manufactured articles from Stillwater could be quickly delivered in St. Paul or Minneapolis by automobile trucks at as low a prioe as Twin City Manufacturers could Bell them. Ha ea also interested in Community Service work. Had be lived he would have been an ever increasing power for good in our community.
