The birthplace, in 1823, of deceased was in Washington county, Virginia. When 4 years of age he came with his parents from Virginia to Indiana, where he lived until 21 years of age. He then moved to Missouri. When gold was discovered in California in 1849, he went to that Eldorado but soon returned to his home in Missouri. About 30 years ago Mr Cole came with his family to the Pacific coast, residing at several places in western Oregon. Twenty years ago he settled on a farm in Camas Prairie, which has since been his home, although temporarily residing for a few years in Bingen, Washington and Hood River, Oregon. In the state of Illinois, many years ago, he was united in marriage to Sarah Richards, his now bereft companion. To this union were born six children, five of whom are living. They are W.B. Cole of Hood River, B.B. Cole of Alaska, Mrs. Herman Bertchi and Mrs Albert Bertchi of Camas Prairie. In 1854 Mr. Cole was made a Mason of Oquawka Lodge, no 123, Oquawka, Illinois. During the civil war deceased faithfully served his country for four years, enduring with a heroic spirit the privation and suffering incident of those dark days. He was a member of the 13th Missouri regiment and was captured with his regiment at the battle of Lexington, Missouri in 1861. Afterwards he served in the second battalion f the Veteran Reserve Corps. When 21 years of age he professed faith in Christ, and from that day until the day of his death his family and neighbors bore him the happy testimony of a consistent and practical Christian life. He was a life long member of the Baptist denomination, the church of his choice. Services were conducted at the White Salmon church by Rev. J.L. Hershner, on Monday, and the burial was in the cemetery adjoining the church. Of the departed it may be said, in the language of one of old, "thou hast come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season." The headstone for William Cole was moved to the I.O.O.F. cemetery sometime after the cemetery was platted November 1905. The headstones in the White Salmon graveyard (pioneer cemetery) were vandalized and separated from remains.
