POMINENT RESIDENT BEAVER ISLAND DIES

Garrett Cole Northern Michigan Lumberman for 50 Years

Funeral services were held here last Wednesday afternoon for Garrett Cole, 71, a
resident of Beaver Island for more than 30 years. He had suffered a stroke
following a major operation at a Kalamazoo hospital, and died there Jan. 10.

Born August 7, 1871, in Newaygo county, Mr. Cole was engaged in lumbering in
northern Michigan for half a century. As a young man, he ran a lumber and
shingle mill at Bellaire. He went to Beaver Island in 1910, bought out the
Switzer lumber mill, and conducted that business until about ten years ago. For
a few years he owned a small freight boat operating on Lake Michigan. Of recent
years he had developed considerable resort property on Beaver Island, consisting
of cabins and building sites.

Mr. Cole married Julia Seaman at Big Rapids on November 21, 1893.

For the past five years the Coles had spent winters in Kalamazoo with their
daughter, Mrs. Marguerite Stevens.

Surviving besides the wife are a son, Jesse, of Waterbury, Conn.; five
daughters, Mrs. Caroline Jensen, Mrs. Mattie Ludecke, Mrs. Garnet Green, of
Chicago; Mrs. Wilma Naylor, of Provo, Utah, and Mrs. Marguerite Stevens, of
Kalamazoo; two sisters, Mrs. Mattie Beck, of Greenville, Mich., and Mrs. Jennie
Barnes, of Chisholm, Minn. Two sons and a daughter preceded him in death.

Services were held in Kalamazoo on Monday evening of last week, at the
Weissner-Feyen Funeral Home. Rev. Leigh H. Hagle conducted services at 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon at the See Funeral Home in this city. Interment was at
Brookside cemetery.
