L. E. Cole received a telegram Friday, from his brother, Will, at Boise, Idaho, that their father could not recover and that their mother was very low. Mr. Cole left on 42 that day to be at the bedside of his parents. Mrs. [Susie] E. C. House had intended to go on the next train, but a second telegram to her stated that her parents were both better and hopes of their recovery was entertained.

Mr. and Mrs. Cole were residents of this city for a number of years and are well and favorable known by a large number of people in this vicinity. They were in the neighborhood of eighty years old.

Family trees often confuse her with Amanda Lovina Sweet of Sangamon County, Illinois and Dallas County, Texas. Ms. Amanda Sweet became the wife of Rev. William Benjamin Cole. Her parents Rev. Levi and Lucy Sweet are buried in the same cemetery as her in Texas, as seen on the memorial marker pictured on her son Benjamin's FindAGrave page.
The following documents all show her maiden name as Bailey:
The following are proofs of the latter Amanda's maiden name being Bailey, not Sweet.

3. 1854 marriage record in Macoupin County, Illinois. (Mis-indexed as Macon County in some indexes.) Macoupin County is where both lived in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. (The other Coles were married in Menard County which borders Sangamon County where they were both living in the 1850 census.)
