| Brief Biography: The History of Buchanan County, Missouri, published 1881, has the following: [38]
Judge W. C. Toole was born in Shelby County, Kentucky, March 28, 1818. In 1834 he moved with his father to Alton, Illinois, where he continued to reside till the year 1838, when he went to Buchanan County, Missouri. In 1841 he married in Weston, Missouri, Miss E. Wigglesworth, of Greenup County, Kentucky, by whom he has had ten children: Kittie, Dickie, Octavius, Alice, William, Lizzie, Laura, Emma, Alpha and Edwin. In 1848 Mr. Toole was admitted to the bar and began the practice of law in St. Joseph. In 1852 he was elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, a position which, after holding three years, he resigned. In 1856 he was appointed Register of the City of St. Joseph, and held the office uninterruptedly for nine years. In 1864 he was elected City Recorder. This office he shortly after resigned, and during the same year was elected on the Republican ticket Circuit clerk, serving in that capacity two years. In 1871 he was elected on the Liberal ticket Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, which office he continued to hold till its abolishment by the Legislature of 1875. Judge Toole first made his permanent home in St. Joseph in 1852. He has, in the years that have since elapsed, been prominently active in all public enterprises calculated to advance the interests of the city and county, and in the building of churches, school houses, and charitable institutions has ever been among the foremost to lend a helping hand.
