Tobias' obituary states he died on Wednesday, August 17, 1938, at age 78. His marriage record to his first wife states he was born in 1858. Unfortunately, the dates on his gravestone seem to be incorrect. Some of his records state he was born in Russia or Poland.

Tobias immigrated in 1876, and became a naturalized citizen. He was a shoe maker by profession.

Married first, Elizabeth Workington, August 9, 1882, Hamilton, Nebraska.
