Thomas was born in 1861 in Ohio, USA. He was the son of William Cole and Mary E. (Hunt) Luckey. He was raised in Cincinnati. In his 7th year, he was baptized at St Peter in Chains Cathedral. [1] His father presumably died when he was young, as his mother remarried in 1869 to Albert Luckey[2]. Thomas and his brother George were raised in their stepfather's home and gained several half siblings[3]. [4]They both appear on the census records with the surname "Luckey" as children, but used the surname "Cole" as adults.
When he was 24 years old, Thomas married Carrie Nelp.[5]. They raised their 3 children in Cincinnati, where Thomas was a fireman. [6]
Thomas passed away from pneumonia in 1906 and was interred at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati[7]. [8]
