- In Milton, Wis., Feb. 21, 1903, Mr.
Wm. COLE, in the 82d year of his age.
- Mr. COLE was born in Devonshire,
England. When eleven years of age, he came
- to America, stopping for a time on
Prince Edward's Island, and then settling in [the] province of
Quebec, Canada. There, in the town of Brantford, some years
later, he was married to Miss Florella PERRY, a native
of Chenango county, N.Y. Fifty years ago he brought his family
to the United States, and since 1855 he has been a resident of
Milton. His wife died five or six years ago; three daughters
and two sons survive them. Mr. COLE was a Sergeant in
Co. K, Wisconsin Volunteers, in the Civil War, - a good soldier,
a loyal citizen, a kind neighbor. In religious faith, though
not a member of the church, he was a Seventh-day Baptist. During
his last days his home has been with his daughter, Mrs. H. H.
RISDON, under the same roof that first gave him shelter
in Milton nearly fifty years ago. L. A. P. [Vol.
