Notes - "Toby Nelson Drollinger was married to Helene Magdalena Pflum. She was born February 1, 1906 in Alsace Lorraine France. She died December 10, 1996 in Champaign. In addition to Leo they had a daughter Gwendolyn A. Drollinger. She was born in January 1930. She married Ronald Altherr. They live in Decatur IL. Toby Nelson and Helene were divorced but had gotten back together and were going to remarry before he was killed in the accident. If I remember the story correctly that Helene told me, the accident happened while he was driving the taxi and a passenger jumped out without paying, he jumped out to chase him and was struck by another car. Helene then married John McClughen in Champaign, IL." as explained by Venita Kroll, Toby Drollinger's first wife, in an email response to me dated 22 Feb 2008. (David H. Drollinger 24 Feb 2008)
