Biography
"James Cole was born there in 1777, and came over with his wife, Nancy (Swetnam) Cole, and their four sons and several daughters in 1837. They were faithful to their religious convictions, and the whole family became known far and wide for unblemished character and good citizenship. James Cole died November 6, 1861, and Nancy Cole July 18, 1874, at the extreme age of one hundred years. Both lie buried in the old Benton town cemetery on the Sheridan Road in Zion City, not many rods away from the spot where all that was mortal of John Alexander Dowie was recently laid." [1]
