Funeral services were held for Wilbur Cole of summer street at his late home 
last Sunday afternoon.  The home was filled with sorrowing friends and 
relatives.  Services were conducted by Rev. Roger Thompson the pastor of his 
church, and there was singing by Mrs. Annie Shaw and Mrs. Elizabeth Jacobs.

interment was in the family lot in Cold Spring cemetery.  The bearers
were Irving C. Faunce, Charles Clark, Harry G. Bickford and George Jacobs.

50 years ago, where he was married and raised his family.  He was much 
interested in politics and was greatly missed at the ward house this week.

dramas put on by local talent.  He will be much missed in the town as
well as the family circle.  He was the son of James and Lydia Varney Cole 
and leaves a sister, Mrs. Emma Wakefield of Bar Mills, Me., as well as the
