}}Enoch McLain Toler, known as E. M. Toler (October 29, 1874 – October 21, 1954),[1] was a physician from Clinton, Louisiana, who was from 1944 until his death a decade later a member of the Louisiana State Senate from East and West Feliciana Parish. His tenure corresponded with the administrations of Governors Jimmie Davis, Earl Kemp Long, and Robert F. Kennon.[2]

Biography

Toler was born in Gloster in Amite County in southwestern Mississippi to William Jackson Toler (1854-1927) and Toler's first wife, the former Nancy J. McLain (1854-1901). He graduated from Gloster High School and in 1894 received a Bachelor of Science degree from Southern Baptist-affiliated Mississippi College in Clinton, Mississippi. He was an educator and farmer for several years in Cleveland in Bolivar County and Berwick and Gloster in Amite County, before he entered the Louisville Medical College in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1900, he received his M.D. from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee. He then practiced in rural Woodland, before relocating to nearby Clinton, the seat of government of East Feliciana Parish. From 1905 to 1906, Dr. Toler completed a post-graduate course in microscopical and surgical medicine at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans. During World War I, he was the secretary-treasurer of the East Feliciana Parish chapter of the American Red Cross.[3]

Prior to his decade in the Louisiana Senate, Toler, a Democrat, was the coroner of East Feliciana Parish. He was in practice in his later years with his son, Dr. Clovis Toler (1906-1982).[3] He and his wife, the former Estelle Jackson (1885-1966), had two daughters, one of whom died in infancy; the other, Ione Toler Webb (1910-1992), was a schoolteacher who was married to James Oscar Webb (1906-1980). She lost a son, James Toler Webb in 1960, when he was twelve years of age.[4]

Toler was succeeded in the state Senate by Warren Davis Folkes of St. Francisville, then a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives who won the special election held in 1955.[2]
