"Well Known Spencer Man Passes Away"
E. E. Cole Passed Away at His Home In Spencer Last Wednesday Afternoon
E. E. Cole was born in Dryden, New York, April 7, 1856. When he was twenty-one years of age he came to Sycamore, Illinois, where he learned the creamery trade, and later engaged in the restaurant and grocery business. At age twenty-six, he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Dennis of Sycamore and to this union seven children were born, six living, Mrs. Bessie Miller, Tacoma, Washington, Harry D. of Dickens, Dan E. of Spencer, Louisa A., Roland M., and Donald K. all of Spencer. Twenty years ago they moved from Illinois to Spencer where Mr. Cole followed farming for two years, and then returned to Illinois to engage in the grocery business and returned to this county four years later and farmed. In 1900 (her obituary states 1901) his wife died leaving him with a family of practically small children. In 1904 he was married to Mrs. Eva L. Ford and to them were born two children, little Walter two and one-half years and one died in infancy. For the last twelve years he has been engaged in clerking, real estate, and restaurant business. Up to a short time ago he was engaged in the restaurant business until his health failed him. Last summer he took a trip to his old home in New York state in hopes of regaining his health. It was his first visit to the old home in twenty years, visiting his six brothers and one sister. He returned home about September 1st and soon after made plans for moving his family to Hampton, going there in November. Shortly after going there he had a stoke of apoplexy, but recovered sufficiently to be moved back to Spencer. After returning here he showed signs of recovery, but the last few weeks he sank rapidly.
His wish was that his wife might care for him, and it was carried out but her strength failed her and during his last few days help had to be summoned. Mr. Cole died Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. of Bright's disease. He was a member of the Congregational church, coming into the church with his wife and four boys about two years ago, and he has been a constant Christain a regular attendant at all services when his health permitted. Mr. Cole was an upright citizen, a loved and devoted husband and father and a man that had the respect of all who knew him. His death is a distinct loss to the community. He was a patient sufferer. While Mr. Cole enjoyed life fully and had much to live for yet he was prepared for death. Besides his own family of loving and devoted wife he leaves six children, two step-children (these were his children with his second wife), four brothers in New York state, two brothers in Illinois, and one sister here. He is the first of seven brothers to pass away.
Congregational church Saturday morning, the services being conducted by Rev. J. O. Thrush pastor, and the interment was in Riverside Cemetery.
