eilywentioned in the Eagle
yesterday mr--sng, Mr.. Noah Ben
jamin Cole died at his home in this
city Monday eveniugat Jas O'Clock.
k.r. Coles death followed an i'll
ness Of some weeks; in fact he had
been in failing health for two or
three years past, and his death was
not unexpected to the family and
friends, however much sorrow 1t
has brought to the hearts of all.
Mr.. Cole was born near Union

continuously until his death. He

civil war in the Confederate army.
Nearly forty years of his life was
spent actively in business here, he
being a member of the old and well
known firm of Cole Bros, which
was succeeded by the Cole Hard
ware Co. Mr.. Cole was twice mar
ried, the first time to Miss Mollie
Rawls, and the second time to
Miss Lula Davis. and survived
both his wives. He leaves one son
by his first marriage, Mr.. Emmett
Cole, and three sons by the last,
Davis, Walton and Charlie Cole.
OF the nine children which COM
prised his fathers family, FIVE boys
and four girls, only one is now liv-
ing, Mr.. ]. N. Cole of this city.
Mr.. Cole was a Royal Arch
Mason, a member Of the Odd Eel
lows and of the A. o. U. w. He
was a good man of generous i'm
pulses, quiet and reserved and de
voted to his home and family. HI

been a familiar figure for nearl.
half a century.
A large gathering of friends as
