V. C. COLE PASSED AWAY TUESDAY

V.C. Cole, of Broken Bow, passed away Tuesday at 11:40 a.m., after an 
extended illness.  For the last two months he was confined to his 
home and his death was not unexpected.  Funeral services were held at 
2 p.m. Wednesday at the Methodist Tabernacle, and were conducted by 
Rev. A.R. Luton, pastor.  Burial followed in the Broken Bow cemetery.

Mr. Cole was born on May 28th, 1862 at Riverside, Ky.  He moved to 
Nevada County, Arkansas, and resided there until he came to Broken 
Bow in December, 1911, where he has resided since.  He was a 
carpenter by trade and helped to build many of the homes in this 
city.  He was considered one of the best men in this section and was 
liked by every one.  The writer has known him for several years, and 
he has known no more honorable men. 

Mr. Cole is survived by his wife; one son, Ira Cole, of Hugo, and 
five daughters, Mrs. Zula House, Mount Vernon, Texas; Mrs. C.O. Smith 
of Big Springs, Texas; Mrs. Henry Lemley, Mrs. J.B. Harless and Mrs. 
Sam Richards, of Broken Bow, all of whom were present at the funeral 
except Mrs. Smith, who was unable to attend.

The News joins the many friends of the family in extending 
expressions of deepest sympathy.
