Mrs. Martha E. Cole
The many friends of Mrs. Martha Eliza Cole will be deeply pained to hear of her death, which occurred at 12:30 Wednesday morning at the home of her son-in-law, T.C. Anderson, on East Fourth street.
Mrs. Cole had not been in good health for several years, but the immediate cause of her death was the nervous and physical exhaustion due to sorrow over the recent sad deaths among her closest and dearest relatives.
A week ago Tuesday she attended the funeral of her daughter, Mrs. T.C. Anderson, with whom she made her home. Within a week previous to that, she had witnessed the death of Mrs. Anderson's bright little grandson to whom she was fondly attached.
As the life of Mrs. Cole was sweet and kind, so was her death peaceful and gentle.
Mrs. Cole was 79 years of age, born on the Rosemount road, August 20, 1832, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Orme.
She was married January 2, 1850, to Amos B. Cole, who died in October 1897. Their children are John O., deceased; O.V., of Seven Troughs, Nev.; Mrs. T.C. Anderson, recently deceased; A.S. Cole, Portsmouth; Lollie L. Duduit, Los Angeles; Charles C., Scranton, Pa. She has two surviving sisters, Mrs. James Richardson of this city and Mrs. Sarah A. Cole of Missouri.
Mrs. Cole was simple in her tastes. Her long life was full of activity and usefulness. When this is said and appreciated it means a multitude of kind deeds, a world of sympathy and helpfulness, which could not be told in detail, and which she in the goodness of her heart, would not wish to have mentioned. Suffice it to say that a good, sweet and noble woman has gone to her reward.
She was a member of Trinity M. E. church, having joined in the year long gone, when the congregation worshiped in Spencer chapel, on East Seventh street.
Funeral services were held at the home of T.C. Anderson, 149 East Fourth Street, at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon.
