Zula Brown Toole

[4] Brown attended the Bainbridge schools in Decatur County and Andrew Female College in Cuthbert.

[7] She thought the area needed a newspaper, so she collected 500 signatures of people who promised to subscribe if she started one,[8] which was required for a state franchise.

[6] Three years after starting the newspaper, she married Joseph E. Toole[5] (a local farmer) on April 21, 1901.

[7] Just after the 50th anniversary of founding the Miller County Liberal[6] Toole died in October 1947 in Colquitt.
