Harley A. Tonkinson was born in Springfield, Ohio, on February 23, 1870, and moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Tonkinson to Cowley County in 1882. He lived on a farm six miles northeast of Winfield, Kansas, until he was grown when other occupations attracted his attention. School teaching in Cowley County was followed by him, and he also held the office of deputy clerk of the district court under O. P. Fuller and Adam Staggers.

Mr. Tonkinson was converted in a revival under Evangelist W. E. Harlow in 1892. On November 28, 1893, he married Miss Anna Lawson; and she, with two children, survives him. At the time of his death he was elected clerk of the district court.

Anna L. Tonkinson was born September 1868 and died January 2, 1953. She died in a Eugene, Ore., hospital, where she underwent surgery about a week ago. She was a clerk of the district court for a number of years, and left the office in 1930.

Mrs. Tonkinson was married to Rev. Cook, a Christian Church minister, about five years ago and moved to Oregon.

Survivors include her husband; two daughters, Mrs. Hamilton Chase of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. Delbert Vandeveer, Hutchinson; one son, Mason L. Tonkinson, Long Beach, Calif.; and a number of nieces and nephews in this vicinity.
