The Death Of Dr. Alvin J. Cole

Dr. Alvin Jayne Cole, a former resident of this city, died last Friday, March 6, at Fort Madison, Iowa.  He was born in Seneca county, N. Y., Nov. 8, 1837, and was a son of Nelson and Huldah Cole.  When 12 years of age he came with his parents to Ann Arbor, where he received his education.  He studied medicine and graduated from the University in 1860.  Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion in 1861, he was commissioned surgeon of the 14th Michigan Infantry.  He remained in the service until 1865.  He returned to Ann Arbor and practiced medicine here until 1872, when he went to Fort Madison.  For a few years, while badly crippled from rheumatism, he was at the soldiers' home in Marshalltown.  He was unmarried.  He is survived by three brothers, Henry M. Cole of Indian River, and Alanson B. Cole and Banji F. Cole of Ann Arbor.

Mr. A. B. Cole brought the remains to this city Sunday evening for burial in Forest Hill cemetery.

Dr. Cole will be remembered by the older residents of the city, who held him in high esteem.
