Cole was born in Picka way countv, Ohio, September 20, 1824. In, 1851 he moved to Lee county, . Iowa, returning two years later to Ohio, where he was married to Harriet Bruner. He remained In his Iowa home until 1854, when, early in the year, he sold his property and moved to the territory ox braska.
