Biographical History of Page County, Iowa pg. 595
When young Cole was of age he yielded to the impulse to go West, and soon found himself in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he met and married Miss Ann Hill, daughter of A. H. and Catherine (Chandlee) Hill. She was born in Cayuga County, New York, August 27, 1831, but from the age of eight years she was reared in the state of Michigan. They were married June 25, 1856, and the same day started for Wisconsin and secured a home in Fond du Lac County, near Ripon. After living there three years they returned to Michigan and remained there until 1864; they then went to New York and lived with Mr. Cole's parents until his father's death, after which he determined to go to Iowa.
Though Mr. and Mrs. Cole find much pleasure in life, their greatest hope was taken from them when their only child, Frank Elmer, died in infancy. They have recently adopted a little boy of nine years, Bertie V. Cole. They are faithful members of the Congregational Church. In political affairs Mr. Cole is identified with the Republican party.

A Good Woman Gone
The sudden death of Mrs. Anne Cole, widow of the late J. L. Cole, is a matter of much regret by her many friends and a great loss to relatives and friends. The story of her illness comes to us in this way. As is known, she had been with her sister, Mrs. Snow, in Richland, Michigan, and it has been her custom to spend the winters there since the death of Mr. Cole a few years ago. She left here just five weeks before her death, apparently enjoying the best of health and she was in the best of spirits. She seemed especially happy and she went to see as many of her friends as she had time but did not see all of them. She came in the office the day she went away to have her paper changed and she was so happy and cheerful. Her death occurred on Wednesday of last week just before noon. She had been well all day Tuesday and Tuesday evening put in most of the evening reading out loud to her sister. She went to bed as usual but about midnight awoke with a severe pain in her stomach. She did not call her sister right away but waited until about half past four. Her sister called a doctor and he made her a little easier but she was no better in the morning and they called another doctor. Mrs. Snow' son, Milo Snow, came over and stayed until 10:00 Wednesday morning and then went home intending to come back but he had been home only a little while when he was called over the phone and by the time he got there she was dead. She passed away very quickly while sitting up leaning against her sister. Her son, Bert, was notified at once and he went at once to Michigan and returned home Sunday morning bringing the body home with him for interment.
The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon from her home on Sheridan Avenue and was largely attended by friends and neighbors all anxious to pay their last respects to the woman whom they loved and esteemed. Rev. Mr. Turner had charge of the service and spoke eloquently of her beautiful character and exemplary life. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Replogle, Miss Nordstrom and Harry Day sang her favorite hymns. The pallbearers were Messrs. F. B. Ranklo, T. H. Read, C. F. Crose, J. G. Schnneider, J. W. Perkins and A. J. Marsh. The body was laid to rest by the side of her husband in Rosehill.
Mrs. Cole was born in Michigan near Richland and grew to womanhood there. She was married July 25, 1856 and ten years later they moved to Fremont County and settled on the farm just west of here still owned by the family. They lived there a good many years and by their industry and thrift they accumulated a small fortune. One son was born to them but he died in infancy but they gave a home to two others. A young lady, now Mrs. Churchill of Lenox, was brought up by them and later she was married and they adopted her little boy who is known as Bert Cole so they have always had young folks in the home giving of their love and affection in making others happier. They moved to town in 1880 and built the home on Sheridan Avenue, now occupied by Hon. George Perkins and daughter, Miss Nell. Mrs. Cole made her home with the Perkins in the summer and went to Richland for her winters.
Mrs. Cole was a member of the Congregational Church and had been for years and no one was more enthusiastically loved and respected than she. At all times she was a willing and ready worker in the cause she loved as well. Her character was of the highest and noblest and in all things she was a womanly woman. She was never known to say anything ill of another and was always a true friend and neighbor.
Besides her son Bert, she leaves two sisters, both of Richland, and several nephews, nieces and among which are Mrs. R. G. Berry of this city and Mr. Henry Cole of Peru, Nebraska. Her death is a loss that will be felt for years, especially in her home and church circles but the example of her unselfish life will ever live.
