Cole, Israel (1830 - 1913)
Denison Review 3-19-1913
Israel Cole was Buried Sunday
Venerable Father of Marion Cole passes to the Great Beyond at Age of 82 Years
Funeral Held at Dow City
Deceased was born in Indiana and Came to Crawford County in the Year 1881.
Word reached Dow City last Friday morning that Grandpa Cole had passed away during the previous night at Clarinda and the body arrived from there Saturday and was taken to the home of his son, Marion Cole, to repose until the funeral Monday.
Israel Cole was born in Ripley county, Ind., on April 25, 1830. He resided there with his parents until 1850, when he was united in marriage to Miss Pocahontas Hardenbrook and thus began a home of his own. They continued to reside in the state of his nativity until the winter of 1865, when they moved to Clinton county, Iowa. In the spring of 1881 the family again took up the westward journey and located in Crawford county, which place has been his home with the exception of two years spent in Western Kansas.
Four children were the result of this union namely: James of Clinton county; Marion and Walter of this place and Mrs. Margaret Campbell of Glenham, S. D. The three sons attended the funeral, the daughter being unable to be present on account of illness. His faithful companion passed away Nov. 20, 1893 and he has never ceased to mourn her.
He united with the Methodist Episcopal church in early childhood and has always been a devoted Christian. Grandpa Cole, as he was familiarly known, was a man with a rugged constitution and knew few sicknesses. He was strong in intellect and strong in body. For the last few years his mind was failing, a fact that his children mourned constantly over.
Since the death of his beloved wife he has made his home with his son, Marion, and these two seemed more like brothers than like father and son. His daughter-in-law, Mrs. Marion Cole, gave him an own father's care and she was amply rewarded for her work in the love and affection he bestowed upon her. "Mary" was to him a daughter in every sense of the word. Thus his reclining years were full of comfort and peace.
He passed away March 14, 1913, at the advanced age of 82 years, 10 months and 17 days. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church, Monday morning at the hour of 10, the last sad rites being conducted by Rev. Joseph Stephen and he was laid to rest in the cemetery on the hill. A large number of friends gathered to pay their last respects to the departed. Farewell Grandpa Cole, we shall see thee no more on earth, but we know thou has gone to join thy loved ones who have passed on before. Farewell.

She was a lover of nature and very much enjoyed her flowers. Her health had been rapidly failing for some time and as she and her aged companion were alone she became so ill that it was thought best to move them to the home of their youngest son, Charles. Here she spent the last four weeks of her severe illness, where she received the best of care. Her daughter-in-law, Charley's wife, spared no trouble in making her last days as comfortable as possible and, therefore, should receive especial mention for her untiring efforts.
The funeral sermon was held Saturday at the M. E. church, Rev. Eddy officiating and interment made in the Deloit cemetery. The family wishes to express their gratitude to the neighbors who so kindly assisted them during her illness and for the many floral tributes.
