Author: GENEALOGICAL AND  BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD

E. P. COLE, one of the enterprising farmers of Manhattan Township, was born on 

a farm  situated a few miles from his present home.  He is a son of Thomas 

Cole, who came to this county in a very early day and for years was one of the 

prosperous and prominent farmers of his locality.  From his earliest 

recollections our subject has been familiar with his present surroundings.  

His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm. Like many of the country 

boys, he assisted on the farm during summers and attended the district school 

in the winter months, acquiring a practical education.  He naturally grew into 

the ways of farm life and, arriving at man's estate, chose agriculture for his 

occupation.  In his farm work he has shown evidence of good judgment, and by 

his industry and energy has already acquired a high position as a progressive 

agriculturist.  About 1894 he moved to his father-in-law's farm, and here he 

has since engaged in general farming and in raising a fine quality of live 

stock.  In politics Mr. Cole is a stanch Republican and his voice has often 

been heard advocating the principles of his chosen party.  In local matters he 

is especially active, aiding as far as possible such measures as have for 

their object the promotion of the welfare of the people.  He married the only 

daughter of Aaron Greenwood, who is a resident of Manhattan, and whose sketch 

appears in this work.  Mr. and Mrs. Cole have two children.
