Born November 8, 1897 in Adjala Township, she was the daughter of Charles and Margaret Emma (Sirr) Baxter. She was married February 6, 1918 to G. Lewis Cole at the Baxter Home in Adjala. They were together 54 years until Mr. Cole died in April of 1972 at the age of 84. Mrs. Cole is survived by daughter Ruth Williams-Cooper of Schomberg, daughter-in-law Laura Cole-McKend and son-in-law Gordon Cooper, sister Elizabeth Proctor of Orangeville and brother Chester Baxter of Adjala and four grandchildren - Eric and Ron Williams of Hockley and Sheila Davidson and Cheryl Moffitt of Orangeville - and 14 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandson. She was predeceased by son Errol Cole who died in 1977 at the age of 59, and brothers Leonard in 1978, Melville in 1962, Frederick in 1974, Albert in 1973 and Raymond Baxter in 1966, sister Beatrice and grandsons Ernest Cole in 1975 and James Cole in 1988 and great-grandson Robert Williams in 1989. The funeral was held May 19, 1992 at Baxter and Giles Funeral Home in Orangeville, with Rev. Patricia Blythe officiating. Burial was at Old St. John's Cemetery in Mono Township. Pallbearers were great grandsons Tim Shkolnik, Dwayne Rawn, Dale Williams, Dennis Williams and Jason Davidson. The following is a remembrance by Wayne Townsend, curator of the Dufferin County Museum. "Myrtle, in her time at Avalon, began to open her world to an extended family. The experiences and wisdom gathered through hard work and love, were freely given to those of us who listened. In Sunshine Circle sessions there, we learned that Myrtle was clearly a pioneer woman. She worked the fields, grew food, fixed farm implements, and became stronger with each hardship. Never a needing hand was turned away from her table even through the poorest times. The role she played in the development of her community, through her many efforts, will never be known." Note: In the book "Adjala" - by McDevitt & Munnoch - on page 166 - Baxter Family Section: It states that Myrtle was married to Lewis Coles and then Gord Cooper. Lewis' surname should read COLE and Gord Cooper was Myrtle's son-in-law, NOT husband. It goes on to list Myrtle's children as Errol, Ruth and William Cooper. There was no child named William Cooper. Myrtle and Lewis Cole had only Errol & Ruth. Ruth was first married to George Williams and remarried in 1978 to Gordon Cooper. There were no children born to Gordon and Ruth.
