I've "rescued" an old photograph of Mollie A. COLE which was taken at the
Bostwick Studio in New York City, NY. The photograph appears to have been
taken in the 1880's with Mollie likely in her teens or 20's at the time it
was taken. I am hoping to locate someone from Mollie's family so that this
wonderful old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member
of this COLE Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
Shelley,
Thank you for rescuing and letting us know about these Cole photographs.
This is the family of Sylvester E. Cole and Eliza Territte, listed in E.B.
Cole's The Descendants of James Cole of Plymouth, p. 241, where he spells
Eliza's last name Terrette. The notations on the backs of the photos clarify
and add to this family's information, which I'll include in my book update,
citing these photos.
Sylvester is the son of Dexter Cole (James6, Israel5, Israel4,
Benjamin3, Hugh2, James1). So far no descendants of Dexter's line have contacted
me, but I'd love to hear from someone. If anyone contacts you, please let
me know.
Photo #1: These are the children of George Dexter Cole and his wife Marian
E. Griswold, the probable couple in the photo. All these children, born
1885-1890, died before 1900 except Jessie Louise Cole.
Photo #2: E.B. Cole does not have the name Hannah. I'm not sure what they
were doing in WI.
Photo #4: E.B. Cole did not have Eliza's death date, which was after the
book's publication in 1908, so I'm happy to get it. She was born in 1829.
Sylvester died in 1884.
