"Aunt Katie" Cole
Died Last Friday - Born in Tennessee, Lived in Cooper County Since 1817 " Aunt Katie" Cole, one of Cooper County's oldest women, died last Friday, March 14, at her home west of Bunceton. She had been sick for some time, death resulting from the general debility incident to old age. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. I. B. Dotson, were held at Mt. Nebo Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, after which interment took place in the church cemetery. The historic old church was filled with friends and neighbors, most all of whom had known "Aunt Katie" from their childhood. No other woman, living or dead, is or was as familiar with the history of Cooper County as was this kindly, sweet-faced, old-fashioned woman who had lived for more than four score years in this immediate community. Her maiden name was Katherine Peters. She was born in Tennessee November 19, 1810, and when one year old, was brought by her parents to what was then the territory of Missouri. The family settled near the present site of Petersburg, from which the station many years later took its name. At that time the only permanent white settlement was at Boonville, where lived "Aunt Hannah" Cole, the first white woman to come to this county, and the mother of Samuel Cole, to whom the subject of this sketch was married some forty years later. When twenty years of age, or in 1836, "Aunt Katie", then Miss Katherine Peters, was united in marriage with Thomas Patrick, who died in 1847. To this union, there were born seven children, all of whom are dead except "Uncle Walter" Patrick of Bunceton and James M. Patrick of Houston, Texas. In 1856 she was again married, this time to Samuel Cole, who has been dead about fifteen years. Mr. Cole was the father of two children. They are Mrs. Jennie Cash and Mrs. R. S. Roe, both of whom live near Bell Air." Aunt Katie" had been a member of the Baptist Church for many years and was a good woman, loved and respected by all who knew her, but most by those who knew her best. Amid the varied scenes of life, she preserved unchanged the ways and manners, simplicity and sincerity, piety and honesty that characterized the people of her early childhood. Fortunate is the community that has been blessed by the presence of these gray-haired, God-fearing women with simple tastes and honest hearts.
