Obituary.
Died, in the city of Prairie d»v Chlen"
February 26th, at the home of biB son,:
Charles Cole, Mr. Liberty W. Colo, aged:
80 years, 9 months.
Liberty W. Cole was born in the
state of Indiana in 1820 removed with
bis parents to Missouri at an early age
resided in that state until 1840 removed
from there to Colesburg, Delaware Co.,
Iowa, where he entered land and made
himself a home and married Miss Jane
McClelian, daughter of Capt. McCiel
lan, ot Garnavillo. In this home they
endured together the privations of
pioneer life. A family of ten children
were born to them, two, a son and a
daughter, dying in infancy. Tbe re
maining eight grew to manhood and
womanhood.
In the spring of 1863 he removed to
Clayton Co., settling on a farm near
Clayton City, where he again made a
home, residing there until the death of
his wife in 1893. During her long and
painful illnesB he tended her with the
greatest care, proving himself one of
the most faithful of husbands, as well
as the kindest of fathers.
A daughter, Mrs. Orlssay Brock, of
McGregor, died two weeks ago. Her
death with that of a beloved grand
child affected him deeply. He was the
last surviving member of his father's
family of ten children. Among his
descendento there baee been bom 49
grandchildren and 22 great grand
children. Eleven of this number have
preceded him to the better land.
Of hlB children, with the exception
of Mrs. Shoemaker, of Omaha, Neb.,
and Charles Cole, now in Wyoming,
there were present at the funeral, Mrs.
Anna Fishell and husband, of Man
chester Setb, of McGregor Hiram
Brock's family, of McGregor Charles
Cole's family, of Prairie du Chien
Adalbert Cole, of Almoral Edgar, of
Turkey River, and Mrs. Altie Bass and
family, of McGregor.
Mr. Cole possessed one of those
strong and resolute characters which
early pioneer life often develops. Sur
rounded by a wilderness full of dangers
as one of the young pioneers, his com
bined traits of sagacity, caution, cour
age and steadiness of purpose, well
qualified him for tbe dangers of the
ch ise and bis love of venture often
found him alone in the dark forests or
on the outskirts of the wild prairies in
pursuit of game. He encountered
wolves, panther, bears and Indians,
and was most remarkably successful in
bringing in deer, elk and other game.
He was also remarkable in detailing
early avents and in feeling a deep in
terest in the events of the day. He re
tained his faculties to the moment of
his death. He was a great reader and
kept himself posted on all the events ot
the day. He leaves behind him ths
memory of ajiutand upright man and
we trust is united with those he loved
so well.
Life Is a dream, a battle fought,
Against relentless Time,
And comrades dear, both old and young,
Fall fast beneath bit aim. '.la".
We mourn them as we plod along,
Unconscious of the dny.
When Time shall swing hie keen-edged blade,
And hasten us away.
And though we welt know what must come,
Our sorrows find relief,
From hope and faith after life,
Our cherished, loved belief.
And now an aged sire has gone,
From life's uncertain shore,
To meet, we hope, the friends he loved,-•
