OBITUARY

Orrin D. Cole was born in Woodbine, Iowa, January 6, 1859, and died in Oregon 
City, Oregon, November 10, 1925. Mr. Cole passed the State Board of Examiners 
at Des Moines, Iowa, and became a registered pharmacist in 1880.
He lived in Iowa and Illinois until 20 years ago when he came to Idaho to take 
a man’s part in developing this great empire of the far west.  In 1910 he 
became a registered pharmacist in the state of Idaho and settled in Payette, 
September 25, 1918.  Since that time he has resided in our midst and we have 
known him as a business man of striking ability.  But comparatively few perhaps 
have known the real man, a man, the warmth and loyalty of whose friendship, 
stood the severest tests; a man, in whose life, the home love and joys bulked 
large; a man, whose plighted word, was sacred, not lightly given, but given, 
never retracted whatever the cost of its keeping might be.  Not all of us knew 
him in this intimate personal way because he was naturally reticent.  He did 
not easily express his feelings.  He was not a mixer.  Perhaps not many thought 
of Mr. Cole as a religious man.  The strenuous demands of his business kept him 
from church services.  But he was loyal to his mother’s religion and declared 
to those nearest to him that God knew his heart and that he was a Methodist 
through and through.
Death came to him suddenly but not unawares.  For some time he seems to have 
been suspecting and thinking about its approach.  Beside a host of sincere 
friends and admirers he leaves a wife and daughter, Joy Irwin of Woodbine, 
Iowa, one son Elmer L. Cole, until recently of Payette, now of Salt Lake; one 
sister and two brothers to mourn his loss.
The funeral services were held from the Methodist Church and the Odd Fellows, 
of which order he was a member, conducted the rites at the grave, Sunday, 
November 15th.
