I can't help with an obit, but looked up George in the 1900 census.
Perhaps it will be useful. The 1900 census had 5 Robert COLE's in
Nebraska... 2 in Adams Co., 2 in Douglas Co., and 1 in Merrick Co.

I am looking for information on Robert Cole and his brother George.
Robert and George were born abt 1850s in Lee County, Va. The Cole's
moved to Elliott Co, Ky before moving to Indiana. Robert lived for
awhile in Nebraska and died May 23, 1932 in North Judson Ind. I have
a biography on George and from that learned that Robert had five
daughter and one son. I have nothing else on Robert. Would like an
obit, etc.
Thanks Barbara
