D. COLE DIES AT OREGON CITY O. D. Cole, a prominent druggist of this city, died suddenly at a hotel on Oregon City at an early hour Tuesday morning, while enroute to California with his wife where they expected to spend the winter. The news of his sudden death which came by wire was a severe shock and cast a shadow of gloom over the entire community. Mr. and Mrs. Cole left Payette last Saturday morning by auto looking forward with much pleasure for a pleasant trip and to spend the winter in southern California and when near Oregon City met with a slight accident, the car skidding on the wet pavement and turned over on its side. While Mr. Cole was not injured, it is believed the shock caused his sudden death. After the car had been returned to Portland for repairs, Mr. and Mrs. Cole were taken on to Oregon City, where they expected to remain for a few days, while the car was being repaired and after eating a hearty meal and procuring some liniment for Mrs. Cole who had received a bruised arm, Mr. and Mrs. Cole retired for the night at a hotel and were in conversation until 12 o’clock, and in awakening at five in the morning Mrs. Cole found her husband has passed away. It is believed by the physician who was called that due to the shock caused by the accident he had died from heart failure at about 4 o’clock. Immediately upon receiving the message the Odd Fellows lodge of this city, wire the lodge at Oregon City, who took charge of the affairs. The body arrived here late Wednesday evening where the funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Methodist church and will be in charge of the Odd Fellows lodge, of which the deceased is a member. A full and complete obituary will be published next week.
