From the Friday September 19, 1930 issue of the Batavia Herald; "Augustus Tolf, a resident of Batavia for more than sixty years, passed away at his home, 201 S Batavia Avenue, Monday night following an illness of long duration.

Three sisters also survive, Mrs. John Peterson, Miss Christine Tolf both of this city, and Mrs. Carl Youngren of Chicago.
