      WILLIAM HAMILTON COLE,
  
  [p. 883] a representative citizen of Wayne Township, carries on farming
  to some extent, and is also in the employ of Lewis Weinstein, in a
  grocery business at Hazel Dell, a part of this village standing on land
  which was once owned by his grandfather. Mr. Cole was born June 4, 1863,
  in an old log house which then stood on the present Cole home farm, and
  is a son of Andrew C. and Mary Ellen (Marshall) Cole.
  
  William Hamilton Cole attended the Hazel Dell public schools and has
  resided in Wayne Township all his life, with the exception of two years
  which he passed with an uncle, William Marshall, in Mercer County. In
  1888 Mr. Cole was married to Miss Theresa Jane Tillia, who is a daughter
  of Peter and Clorinda (Craven) Tillia, the former of whom was a native
  of France and the latter of Wayne Township. Mr. and Mrs. Cole have had
  five children, namely: Clara Ellen, John Hamilton, John Bistis, Gladys
  Jane and William C., the latter being deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Cole are
  members of the Slippery Rock Presbyterian Church. They enjoy the
  comforts of a beautiful home, Mr. Cole building his residence in 1889.
  Politically he is a Republican. While he is no seeker for office, he
  takes an active interest in all public matters, particularly those
  pertaining to the welfare of his own community. Since 1885 he has been a
  member of Lodge No. 1016, Odd Fellows, at Ellwood City, being one of the
  charter members.
