Cole Passes James H. Cole died at the home of his son, Henry Cole, Thursday afternoon at about 6 o'clock, from the effects of a paralyzie stroke which occured seven years ago. He was born in this county November 8, 1845, and married Mosete Spradling January 8, 1873. For more than fifty years "Uncle Jim" as he was familiarly known lived at the spot where he died, the site of the Cole Hotel, and with the exception of a few years, conducted the hotel. At least two buildings were erected on the spot of this present hotel since his occupancy, and under his management the hotel became widely and favorably know for the excellant meals served. Mr. Cole joined the Christian Church ________ (unreadable) life and lived a life that was an honor to the community and a pride to his family. Everyone who knew Uncle Jim loved him. He was jolly and good natured and had that hopeful disposition that kept him sparkling with good humor and friendliness. No more manly or better man ever lived in our town than Uncle Jim. Shortly after his attack, seven years ago, he made arrangements with his son Henry, to care for him and his wife, who died about two years ago, until their deaths, and nobly was that trust fulfilled. Few old people have their declining years placed under more fortunate conditions, and this would not be a complete account if it did not mention the willing and conscientous care that Mrs. Henry Cole gave the old people. She was kind and attentive to them as if she had been a daughter, and the brothers and sister or her husband recogized this fact and appreciated it. Throughout his long years of affliction Uncle Jim was still the same jolly, hopeful man that he was in health, and no word of complaint was ever heard from him. When his old friends would call on him he was cheerful even in his affliction, and radiated the good nature that characterized his whole life. Funeral services were held Saturday morning from the Christian Church, conducted by the Rev. J. W. Simpson pastor of the Methodist Church here, and the burial ceremony of the Knights of Phythias was held in the church. The Masonic fraternity took charge of the body at the home and accompanied it to the church, and after the funeral took charge and proceeded to the cemetery, but were prevented from conducting the ceremony by a severe storm, and the ceremony will be performed later. The interrment was in the Salyer Cemetery. Mr. Cole is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Myrtle L. Keyser, of Keyser, Mrs. Hattie Baldwin, of West Liberty, Mrs. Nanie Flowers, of Hammons, Illinois, and three sons Robert Boyd Cole, of Enid, Oklahoma, J. Henry Cole, of West Liberty, James Seitz Cole, of Waurika, Oklahoma, (one son, Gaines Cole, died several years ago). Three sisters, Mrs. Eliza Lassen, Los Angeles, California, Mrs. Nan Alley, of Kansas, and Mrs. Genoa Bomar, of Montgomery, Alabama, and two half brothers, Jim Tom Hazelrigg of Albany, MO and Frank Hazelrigg, of Ashville, N.C.
