     Funeral arrangements had not been completed at an early hour last night. He was unmarried and had been threatening to kill himself for several days, it was reported, and shot himself in full view of his brother and sister as they sat eating breakfast Wednesday morning at their home near Chocowinity.
     Although rushed to the hospital where surgical treatment was administered, no hope was held out for his recovery. The charge entered and ploughed a hole completely through his left lung and came out the other side.
     Toler is said to have threatened to kill himself several times, especially when drinking, and Tuesday afternoon he playfully pointed the gun at himself and his brother, Howard Toler, who took it away from him and hid it. Early Wednesday morning he asked for the gun to go 'squirreling,' was told at the home of his sister, Mrs. Jimmy Norris, where it was, and went for it. While his brother, sister, and brother-in-law were at breakfast, Toler approached their home, which is on the Clark road, about a mile from the Chocowinity-Aurora road and nine miles from Washington. He placed the butt of the gun against the window sill and laid the barrel on his chest, it is said. Norris started out to grab the gun but retreated fearing he would be shot. Toler then shot himself.
     He is reported to have kept mentioning at the hospital his sweetheart and that he had reasons for killing himself.
     He is survived by his brother, Howard Toler; a half-brother, Eby Toler; and five sisters, Mrs. John Hill, Mrs. Walter Clark, Mrs. Jimmy Norris, Mrs. Jane Barrington, and Miss Ervie Toler, all of near Chocowinity."¹
