James Franklin Cole
June 18, 1857 ~ October 25, 1939
James Franklin Cole was born in Marion County, Illinois, June 18, 1857, and passed away at his beautiful ranch home on the Washita in the Northwest part of Roger Mills county, Oklahoma, October 25, 1939, having reached the mature age of 82 years, 4 months and 12 days.
His parents immigrated to Texas when he was a small child. He moved to the Panhandle of Texas in 1884, with a herd of cattle, owned by Jube Thurmond, and resided in Hemphill county, Texas until the opening of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian reservation in 1892, taking part in the famous run of April 19, 1892, and locating the claim where he has since resided.
He was united in marriage to Miss Eugenia Humphrey at Canadian, Texas, March 12, 1893. To this union was born six children, Frank Cole, Jr., of Canadian, Texas; (Winnie) Mrs. Russell Cooper, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Ray Cole, who lives with his parents, (Georgia) Mrs. H.M. Ivy of Cheyenne, Oklahoma; (Dorothy) Mrs. Bufford Thomas of Durham, Oklahoma; and Hazel Cole of Stillwater, Oklahoma.
He became a member of the Christian Church at Hamburg, Oklahoma, in 1917, with which church he affillated the rest of his life.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, Mrs. Eugenia Cole, six children, three grandchildren, two brothers, J.M. Cole, of Midway, Oklahoma; and Andrew Cole of Fort Worth, Texas, other relatives and a host of friends.
Another of nature's noblemen has passed to the Great Beyond----"A Diamond in the Rough."
Almost forty-six years ago Frank Cole and his bride, Miss Eugenia Humphrey, travedled over roads which were very likely little more than cow trails to the claim which he had staked in the memorable Run, and on which he had erected a substantial one room residence 16 feet square, built of logs that grew on the banks of the Washita River nearby.
By industry and thrift in the course of time the log home, which had already been doubled in size by the addiion of a lumber room, was replaced with the spacious residenve in which the family now live. There isw an old adage that says, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." The writer here is is one among the many that knows that Frank was such a friend. His sympathetic nature made him the friend of all. For the last three years of his life he has confined to his bed.
By his passing the community loses a great friend and Roger Mills county, an outstanding citizen.
Burial was made in the Fariview Cemetery, Durham, Oklahoma Friday afternoon in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends.
