George was the son of David & Mary Springer Cole. He married Mary Jane Hoover 15 December 1881 in Dent County, Missouri. They were the parents of 11 children: William Albert (died at 8 1/2 months); James David; Phoeba Caroline; Mary Almeda "Medie" Pace; Edith Ann "Edie"; Aaron 'Richard'; John 'Henry'; Melissa Minerva "Lissie"; Ida 'Belle'; Rueben Elisha 'Rube'; Burl Arthur.
He was a farmer at Montauk in Dent County most of his life but was working as a day laborer in St. Louis at the time of his death.

He was a good singer & knew many silly & lonesome songs. When he would visit a neighbor, they would want him to sing. Often his songs would make them cry. The family entertained themselves in the evenings by singing.
