Evening Times, Cumbrerland, Maryland, Wed 31 Mar 1909: 
"Funeral of John O'Toole--John O'Toole, who died at his home in 
Barton, last Saturday, after a lingering illness of nearly two 
years, was buried at nine a. m. Monday from St. Gabriel's Church, 
where a requiem mass was sung by the Rev. James Quinn. The 
remains were followed to the grave by a long procession of 
relatives and friends.  Mr. O'Toole served as a teamster in the 
Union army nearly four years and was with McClellan's army in 
front of Richmond. He had several narrow escapes from capture.  
After the war he joined his family in Barton, where he has since 
been respected as one of its best citizens.  Few people knew that 
he had served with the army, as he was not given to talk on that 
subject, and never mentioned it save to some old soldier, to whom 
he would talk freely about his war  experiences.  Mr. O'Toole is 
survived by one daughter, Miss Kathleen-who has been a most 
devoted muse and companion.  The pallbearers were: Thos. Gannon, 
Theodore George, P. H. Gallagher, Sr., John Bean, Thomas Condon 
and Martin Cady.  Interment was made in St. Gabriel's Cemetery."
