When the Tolman Genealogy Center was dedicated July 7, 1978 it was completely finished and paid for. It was estimated that over 21,600 hours in volunteer labor and nearly $70,000 in donations from the family had been contributed (the equivalent of over $255,000 in 2016 dollars). Six hundred and forty-six attended the dedication service of the new family genealogy center, a very unique holding for a family organization.
