San Francisco Call, January 17, 1909
“LAST CALL COMES FOR FORMER COINER 
Daniel T. Cole, Who Left the Mint on Account of Poor Health, Is Dead 
Daniel T. Cole, one of the most prominent figures in California politics for 
more than 25 years, died yesterday morning at his home, 46 Sixth avenue, at the 
age of 76. A native of Montpelier, Vt., being born in 1832, Cole came to 
California in 1852. He was one of the early settlers of Sierra county and for 
many years operated a stage line between Nevada City and Downieville and owned 
the famous Mountain house in Sierra county. 
Cole was a delegated to every state republican convention for more than 25 
years, and he always among the leaders of the delegates. In 1892 he was elected 
delegate to the national republican convention, and was given the same honor in 
1896. Upon the election of President McKinley "Dan" Cole, as he was more 
generally known, was appointed coiner at the United States mint in San 
Francisco, which office he held until about a year ago, when he resigned on 
account of poor health.  
He was a member of the state board of harbor commissioners from 1893 until 
1897, receiving his appointment from ex-Governor Markham. He was married in 
1858 to Miss Ana Lake of San Francisco, who died several years ago. A son, 
William Lake Cole; a daughter, Mrs. E. L. Hunt, and a sister, Mrs. H. Haskell 
of Vermont, survive.
Cole was a past noble grand of the Odd Fellow's, a member of the Knights of 
Pythias, Union League club and chamber of commerce. The funeral services will 
be held tomorrow at his late residence in Sixth avenue." END
