Mrs. Cole is the daughter of Thompson and Rebecca Dougherty Douglass, the former of whom was born at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and was a son of Robert Douglas, a native of Scotland, and on his mother's side, a direct descendent of the Stuarts. Thompson Douglas was thrice married, first time to Martha Johnson, by whom he had one child, Emery Pyle, who served in the war of the rebellion, and died in the Army. The second wife of Mister Douglas was Rebecca Dougherty, who bore him six children: Leonidas, who enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 18, and died of sickness in 1862; Homer, deceased in 1881; Martha J.(Mrs. Cole); Mary, who died in 1882; Theodore, living at the old home in Richmond, Ohio; and Ida, wife of G. McIntyre, a farmer of Carroll County, Ohio. The third wife of Thompson Douglas was Emeline Wallace, now his widow, and still living at the old home.
