Funeral services for J.

White, T. A. Rape, of Covington, and Bob T. Williamson, of Atlanta.
Born here of parents who took a leading part in the County's progress, he was a son of the late John Henry Cole and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Greer Cole. His father served as treasurer of Butts county for several years. Mr. Cole was a member of Pleasant Grove Methodist church and of St. Johns lodge of Masons.

In declining health for several years, Mr. Cole had been seriously sick for several weeks but his condition was thought to be improved and death came unexpectedly.
