Mrs. O.M. COLE, 60, Has Passed Away.
Anna MILLIGAN, daughter of Francis and Mary MILLIGAN, was born in Gentry County, Missouri, Dec. 14, 1873, and passed away from her home in Luther, July 1st, 1934 at the age of 60 years, six months and sixteen days.
She became a member of the Methodist Church at the age of 18, later transferring
her membership to the Christian Church of Luther.
On May 12, 1895, at the age of 21 she was married to O.M. Cole. To this union one son, Herman, and three daughters, Cecile, Opal and Irene, were born.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, children, four grandchildren and three brothers, J. D. Milligan of Wynona, Raymond Milligan of Sapulpa and E. D. Milligan of Fulton, South Dakota.
She was a very devoted member of the Church and was always willing to do her part in anything that was for the good of the
community. She kept her Bible handy and was often found reading it.
One of her main thoughts was of her children and how she might make their lives more pleasant.
There could be no higher respect for anyone and she deserved it. To know her was to love her.
Funeral services were conducted Monday at the Luther Christian church, with Rev. John Thompson in charge. Burial was in the Luther cemetery.
Out of town people who attended the services included Mrs. Ida COLE, Mrs. Earl COLE, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry BLAKE of Guthrie; Mr. and Mrs. G. L. BURNHAM, of Glencoe; Mrs. and Mrs. J.D. MILLIGAN and family; Mrs. Blair POINTS, J. C. WOLF, Junior STRICKEL, A. E. MUNN,
