SURNAMES: COLE, Ingersoll, France, Ramsey
Sudden Death: Lysander Cole Falls in the Yard at his home. Had been
one of Adreian's esteemed citizens 30 years.
Lysander Cole, a gentlemand well and favorably known in Adrian for
30 years, died suddenly at about 8:30 this morning, while working
around the yard at his home, No. 3 College Avenue. He partook of a
hearty breakfast, had been painting a buggy and secured the help of
W. Green, a neighbor, to move the buggy box into a shed. They had
just gotten the box inside when Mr. Cole began to stagger. He was
helped to a seat and expired almost immediately. Dr. Treat was sent
for, but his services were not needed. Deceased was a drayman in Adrian
for many years, and had been a resident of Lenawee all his life, and
of Adrian for 30 years. For the past two years he had been unable
to do much work, and had been taking things easy on account of his
ill health. He had always been a hard working, conscientious, honest
man and had the respect of all who knew him. His wife and family are
completely heart broken over his demise.
Deceased was born in Rome Township July 25, 1838 and had made Lenawee
County and Adrian his home all his life. Those who are left to mourn
are his wife and the following children: Elmer W. Cole, Mrs T.H. Ingersoll,
Bert V. Cole, and Chas C. Cole. Mrs Nelson France, a daughter, has
passed to the other shore, and a daughter died in infancy. David Cole,
a brother, resides in Rome; Mrs Samuel Ramsey, a sister at Wolf Creek;
a twin brother, Philander Cole, in Rome; Larkins and Orpheus Cole
near Onsted, also brothers. Half brothers and sisters are as follows:
Marvin Cole, White Pigeon; Riley Cole, Rollin; Mrs. Caroline Bennett,
White Pigeon, and Mrs. Eunice Perkins, Jackson.
The funeral will take place Saturday afternoon at 2:00 from the home
on College Avenue.
