George S. Cole

1858 - 1905

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  George S. Cole, after a week's illness of typhoid pneumonia, died at his home on Coombs street on Monday.  He lacked but a day of completing 47 years of age, having been born in Norwich December 12, 1858, and had resided here all of his life.  During his earlier years he was employed in Sawyer Brothers' cooperage but after that industry passed into history he took up the trade of lather and mason, which he followed up to the time of his death.  Deceased was an attendant of the Calvary Baptist church and a member of the Baracas.  He was also a member of the Bricklayers and Masons' Union.  He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Richard Cole, and two brothers, Frank J. Cole and William R. Cole.  The remains were removed to the home of the latter on Front street, where funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Wilson Treible, of the Broad Street M.E. Church, officiating in the absence of a regular pastor of the Calvary Church.  Interment was made in Mount Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY].  [Glen Buell Collection, Guernsey Memorial Library, Norwich, NY]
