32. Christian Wilhelm ANTHES was born 1786 in Zwingenberg, Hessen, German. He married Anna Maria SCHMIDT on 8 Dec 1814 in Zwingenberg, Hessen, German. [Parents]
BIOGRAPHY: There are different stories as to how this family arrived in the U.S.; one is that Christian and Anna and their four living children came from Germany and settled near Perkins Grove, IL in 1856. There seems to be a little discrepancy with this date though since Johann Heinrich and Johann Kaspar were both married prior to 1850. Another story that is passed down is that Johann Kaspar, Johann Heinrich, & Jacob Wilhelm were stowaways on a ship that was going to the U.S., and when they arrived they split up, Johann going to Illinois, and Heinrich and Jacob going elsewhere.

WILLIAM COLE AND WIFE ANN ELIZABETH COLLINS
AND THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN
1816-1895William Cole, the oldest son of John Cole and wife Amelia Lewis Cole, was born circa 1816 in Pickaway County, Ohio. He died on or about 1 April, 1895 at Nevada, Missouri. A Cole family tradition has been that "William Cole was 98 years old when hit and killed by a train, in the late winter of 1895, at Nevada, Missouri." This tradition indicates a birth year of 1797. However, documented evidence proves this to be in error.
Throughout William Cole's life span he consistently reported his age, indicating a birth year of 1816. The documented proof of this is as follows:
a. His father and mother married 16 March 1815.
b. Illinois 1860 U.S. Census, Willow Branch Township, Platt County, shows that on 16 June, 1860 the household of William Cole was enumerated and William's age is shown to be 44, born in Ohio.
c. Kansas 1880 U.S. Census, Miami County, WEA Township, shows William's age to be 64, born in Ohio.
d. Kansas State 1885 Census and Miami County Tax Enumeration List of 1891 show William's age to be 69 and 75, respectively.William Cole and Elizabeth Collins were issued a license to marry on 27 April, 1837 (Vol. 3, page 148). They were married the same day at Circleville, Ohio by Joseph Hays, and when he made out their Marriage Record he wrote "I joined William Fole (sic) and Elizabeth Collins in holy bond of matrimony," & etc. (Vol. 3, page 299). The referenced marriage volume is on file in Pickaway County, Courthouse, Circleville, Ohio.
For about twelve years after their marriage, William and Elizabeth lived in Deer Creek, Perry, and Monroe Townships in Pickaway County. During this time, William paid no land tax but was on the Chattel Tax Roll. On 14 September, 1841, William Cole and Elizabeth his wife sold Es one eighth (1/8) interest in the John Cole land (100 acres, Survey 8029) to his brother, Peter J. Cole (Deed Book 18, pace 335). Nothing much is recorded happening to them until after the birth of their youngest child and the death of Ann Elizabeth Cole.
The children born to William and Ann Elizabeth Cole while living in Pickaway County, Ohio were:
1. Margaret L. Cole
2. Hester Ann Cole
3. John Wesley Cole
4. Thomas H. Cole
5. Allen Johnston Cole.William Cole, in his last Will and Testament, named two other children: ** Cintha Jane Mills and a son, Manasia Clinton Cole. Manasia C., or "Uncle Clint," is known to be a half brother to Allen J. Cole.
Shortly after the death of Ann Elizabeth in August 1849, William and the older children left Ohio. William and his children were not enumerated in the Ohio 1850 U.S. Census. However, his infant son is listed on page 311 of the Original Ohio 1850 U.S. Census, living in Monroe Township, Pickaway County. There on 20 September, 1850 he was enumerated along with his maternal grandparents and his mother's sister and is thus recorded:
Johnston Collins age 53, M. born Del.
Mary A. Collins 47, F. Va.
Malinda E. Collins 22, F. 0hio
Allen J. Cole 1, M. 0hioWe next discover that William must have remarried and lived for some time in Indiana, because the 1900 Missouri U. S. Census shows that son Manasia C. Cole was born in Indiana, May 1854. The 1900 Missouri Census will be detailed later.
Referring to paragraph 3.b, on page 1, it is shown that in 1860 William was living in Platt County, Illinois with the following children:
M.L. Cole F. age (29?)-19 born Ohio
Hester Ann Cole F. 17 born Ohio
John W. Cole M. 15 born Ohio
Thos. Cole M. 14 born OhioIt is to be noted that neither a wife, Cintha Jane Cole, nor Manasia C. Cole were enumerated at this time. There were three other children listed by the surname of WHILECER: 1 male age 15 and 2 females ages 12 and 6, all born in Ohio. These relationships have never been established.
A search of Indiana and Illinois Civil War Records fails to indicate that William Cole served in the War Between the States. In his westward migration, William is next found to be in Kansas. There is on file in the Miami County Court House, Paola, Kansas, a deed which shows that on 16 October, 1867, William Cole purchased the N 1/2-SE 1/4-36-16-24 (80 acres) of land in Miami County. (Deed Book N, page 409.)
On 28 October, 1874, a deed of conveyance was made between William Cole and Mary Elizabeth Cole his wife showing they sold to Thomas H. Cole and Manasia Clinton Cole the above described 80 acres. (Deed Book 34, pages 527, 528 and 529). On 2 August, 1892, M. C. Cole and Flora Cole his wife, of Louisburg, Kansas, sold their half back to William Cole. (Deed Book 42, page 17.)
Then on November 1891, Thomas H. Cole and Mary E. Cole his wife, William Cole and Mary Elizabeth Cole his wife sold their 80 acre farm. (Deed Book 54, page 566.)
In 1974 the writer and his wife visited the above described farm and found it to be a beautiful piece of property. The Miami County officials told us that this land was located in one of the richest farming sections of Kansas. The northeast corner of the farm adjoins the southwest corner of the city limits of Louisburg, Kansas.
In reading the above deeds a person may assume that William's and Thomas's wives were mother and daughter. Neither the 1880 nor 1900 U.S. Census affirms this in any way.
After selling their farm at Louisburg, William and Elizabeth moved to Nevada, Vernon County, Missouri. There on 22 July, 1892, William Cole made his Last Will and Testament. He gave and bequeathed all his property both real and personal to his beloved wife, Elizabeth Cole. Then on 21 March, 1895, William added and signed Codicil No. 1. Six days later, on the morning of 27 March, "a late winter cold spell blew into Nevada. On this morning, Granddad Cole and the little boys, Harry and Perry Cole, were all bundled up and on their way to the store when Granddad was hit by a train," as told by William's grandson, James Boston Cole, to the writer.
William Cole's Last Will and Testament reads in part "To my sons, John Wesly Cole, Allen J. Cole, Thomas H. Cole and to Manasia C. Cole, one dollar ($1.00) each. After paying the four legacies last named; one quarter of the remainder to my daughter Hester Ann Dodd,* and at her death to her married daughter Eldora. One quarter to my daughter Cintha Jane Mills,** and at her death to her married daughter Mary Alice Nicholson. The remaining one half to my daughter Margaret L. Wollington and at her death to her youngest daughter. I hereby appoint and constitute my daughter Margaret L. Wollington, Executrix on this will and testament."
The exact date of William's death cannot be determined from various papers filed pertinent to his estate. The attending physician's invoice shows that he visited him in the morning and evening from 27 March through 31 March, then on 1 April, 1895, he made one and the last visit. No information has been found that establishes the exact date of death. No newspaper files exist for the year 1895. It is reasonable to assume that William died on or about 1 April, 1895.
On 9 April, 1895 "M. L. Neatherly, formerly M. L. Wollington, daughter of William Cole deceased, who appeared before the Judge of Probate and renounced her appointment and refused to qualify, as Executrix of her fathers estate."
William's beloved wife Mary Elizabeth died 11 April, 1896 in McDonald County, Missouri.
Documents filed pertinent to settlement of William's estate fail to reveal where he was buried. A search of all Nevada County cemetery records and records in Louisburg, Kansas failed to reveal where William lies buried.
John W. and M. C. Cole signed for the receipt of their inheritance at Halltown, Lawrence County, Missouri, 22 July, 1898. M. L. Neatherly and Cintha Jane Mills received their inheritance, but the place where they were living and the date are not shown. Of the seven children named in William Cole's will, the four children above are the only ones to receive any portion of their father's estate.
Final settlement of William Cole's estate was made 3 October, 1898, and his Will is on file in the Vernon County Court House, Nevada, Missouri. (Book "J", page 204.
During the research project various bits of information were gathered concerning William's children and grandchildren. The information, though in some instances incomplete, and its source is as follows:
In the Missouri, 1900 U. S. Census, Vernon County, in the town of Sheldon, on 6 June, 1900 the Neatherly family was enumerated:
1. Elias Neatherly born, Ill., Feb. 1848, age 52
2. Margaret born, Ohio, Nov. 1843, age 56The Missouri, 1900 U.S. Census, Lawrence County, Turnbock (?) township, shows the following enumerated 14 June, 1900 (Roll 870; Vol. 55-EO87; sheet 7 - Line 1):
1. John W. Cole, born Ohio, Feb. 1843 age 57
2. Sara C., wife Wisc., April 1854 46
3. Thomas Son Kan., April 1879 21
4. Jonnie Son Kan., Jan. 1881 19
5. Harvey A. Son Mo. July, 1884 15
6. Edgar Son Mo. April, 1886 14
7. Charles Son Mo. Dec. 1889 10
8. Myrtelle Daughter Mo. Sept. 1895 4In the Kansas, 1900 U.S. Census, Chautauqua County, Little Caney Township, enumerated on 13 June, 1900 we find the following:
1. Thomas H. Cole born Ohio, Nov. 1846 age 53
2. Mary E. wife Ind. Feb. 1854 46
3. Emma J. Daughter Kan. June, 1877 22 (paralyzed)
4. Charley Son Kan. May, 1886 14
5. Orpha J. Daughter Kan. May, 1889 11
6. Barbra E. Daughter Kan. Oct. 1891 8Missing from this census were two daughters, Anna, age 6 and Jennie, age 4, when they were enumerated in the Kansas 1880 U.S. Census, Miami County. Emma J. was age two at that time.
After Manasia C. Cole and wife Flora sold their half of the farm at Louisburg, Kansas, it is not known what happened to Flora. We find that on l1 September, 1889 M. C. Cole, age 35, was issued a Marriage License to marry a Nannie M. Waller of Louisburg, age 28. They were married the same day the license was issued. (Recorded, Miami County Court House, Paola, Kansas, Book "H", page 208)
The Missouri, 1900 U.S. Census, Bates County, Homer Township, shows the following (enumerated 22 June, 1900):
1. Clinton M. Cole born Ind. May 1854 age 46
2. Nannie M. wife Ind. Feb 1861 39
3. Carl F. S Kan. Jan 1891 9
4. Inez J. D Mo. Apr 1894 6
5. Allen R. S Mo. Apr 1899 1
6. Vandergraft, Dw GS (??) May 1898 2* Hester Ann Dodd and daughter Eldora - remain untraced.
** Cintha Jane Mills and daughter, Mary Alice Nicholson - remain untraced. There is every indication that Cintha Jane's mother was Elizabeth Ann Cole; however no proof has been found to substantiate this.Compiled by Noman M. Cole, Sr. I June, 1981

From a tape by GEORGE B. COLE SR, transcribed by Melba Smith Cole, 1961My grandfather's name was William Cole. He was born and raised in Ohio and he had a couple of other sons one Uncle Tom and a half-brother named Uncle Clint. And an Uncle John.
My grandmother, my father's mother, died at his birth. He was raised by, an old aunt of my grandmother's named Melinda Reeves. They had moved from Ohio into Kansas, and there is where my father and mother met. They were married and had among them twelve children,
I remember one time only seeing my grandfather. He was a tall man, with a long beard. The beard was very white. His hair was not very long, but longer than usual for the men of the day. His beard was long and white and kept very beautifully white. He had gray eyes, somewhat like my father's eyes. My father was a great deal like him, I think. And he came down to visit us when we lived there in Kansas. My brother Bill had been out hunting and had killed a beautiful squirrel. When Grandfather got there, he found Mother cooking this squirrel. Of course, it wasn't very much. A very small squirrel wouldn't go very far with a large family. And so, my grandfather Cole showed the kind of a man he was when he said to my mother, "Mary, you cook that squirrel just for my tooth". And, he proceeded to tell her exactly how he wanted that squirrel cooked. When dinner was served the squirrel was passed around to Grandfather. He took away the plate that was put at his place, and set the squirrel plate down in front of him. He began to eat the squirrel, putting the bones in the other plate and he ate every single mouthful of that squirrel. My brother, Bill, who'd done the hunting, didn't even get to taste it. Well, he was terrifically angry, my brother was, to think that any person could be that selfish and that greedy as he called it, and not recognize that this boy at least ought to have a bite but he never got even a smell of it.
Well, that seemed to be characteristic of my grandfather. He seemed to be a very demanding and domineering person. It didn't make any difference what anybody else's rights were, he seemed to think that he just had the right to override them and get exactly what he wanted. A number of my father's characteristics were just like his. He seemed to think that the man should be the master of the house, a man should be the dictator of his children, the man should be everything about the house and tell everybody exactly what to do and where to go. So it didn't make for too happy a family, I fear.

Pleasant G. Hare (b. Ross County, Ohio, m. Susannah Moomaw 02 Jul 1849) was my great-great grandfather through his daughter Frances Saloma (Hare) Zinn. The only place where I’ve seen the middle name as George is in Robert Moomaw’s book. All other sources, mainly family members, show his middle name as Gipson.His tombstone in Hays Cemetery, according to 100 Cemeteries and Burial Sites in Linn County, Kansas (copyright 1987 ISBN #0-941195-06-6), reads "Died Jan 7, 1899, aged 73 yrs, 9 ms, 27 d." A remembrance card of his death reads "Died Jan 7, 1899, aged 74 years, 9 months, 28 days"
The 1850 Ross County, Paint Township, Ohio Federal Census, taken on October 5, 1850 lists Plesant [sic] G. Hair [sic], age 27, farmer, born Ohio.
My records show Pleasant G. Hare and Susannah (Moomaw) Hare had 10 children:
Euphrates Alden Hare (Frates)
Mary Helena (Hare) Cole
Rose Ann Hare
Frances Saloma (Hare) Zinn
Durrilda M. (Hare) Reece
Uriah Marion Hare

From a tape by George B. Cole, Sr. in 1961 - transcribed by Melba Smith ColePleasant G. Hare married Susannah Moomaw in Illinois. They lived there on a farm and when the Civil War broke out, my grandfather thought that he ought to take part in it. So he took his family to Kansas. There he homesteaded a farm, built a house, did not have enough money to fence the place but had it staked out. Then he went back to Illinois and joined the regiment (I do not remember the exact group, but that information is in the possession of Claude Simpson of Pullman). He had several children at this time; my mother, Mary Helena Hare, was at that time about 12 years old. She had an older brother, Freight; a couple of brothers younger than she, and a sister.
In [1899?] my Grandfather Hare got hurt by a team running away. It knocked him down and his head was hit against the jam of a log. It broke his skull and washed part of his brains out, and he was never quite rational after that. Well, they couldn't get anyone to look after him, so they told my mother that if she'd come and look after her father as long as he lived, they would give her the farm. And so our family, the Coles, moved from the Indian Territory up to the place where we lived on the Stainbrook place, right on the Missouri-Kansas line.
In [1901?] my grandfather Hare passed away. So then, after he had passed, some of the brothers and sisters who asked my mother to come and take care of him - promising her the farm for taking care of her father - said they didn't agree to that at all, now that he was gone and she had only been there for two years. They said they'd expected he'd live longer than that, and the farm was worth more than that and each one would have his share of it. So there wasn't anything to do but sell the farm and divide it among the various heirs.
==========
From research done by Noman Cole, compiled in 1981Pleasant G. Hare was discharged from Company I, 185 Regiment of Ohio Infantry, at Lexington, Kentucky, 26 September, 1865.
Shortly after Susannah's death, Pleasant G. Hare was injured. Mary Cole's brothers and sisters agreed to award her their shares of their father's estate if she would take care of him. This she did. (Warranty Deed, dated 7 February, 1902. Recorded in Deed Book 59, page 413, Court House, Mound City, Linn County, Kansas.)

Source is enlistment papers in possession of Claude Simpson and shared with Melba A. Cole
He enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War on February 7, 1865 at South Salem. His enlistment was credited to Paint Township, Ross County, Ohio. He was a Private in Company I, 185th Regiment, Ohio volunteer Infantry. His enlistment papers say he had dark eyes, dark hair, and a dark complexion and was 5 feet 7 1/2 inches tall. He was granted a pension in 1890 for 'Nearly total deafness of left ear and a slight deafness in the right ear, chronic diarrhea, piles, and old age.'

From a tape by George B. Cole, Sr. in 1961 - transcribed by Melba Smith ColePleasant G. Hare married Susannah Moomaw in Illinois. They lived there on a farm and when the Civil War broke out, my grandfather thought that he ought to take part in it. So he took his family to Kansas. There he homesteaded a farm, built a house, did not have enough money to fence the place but had it staked out. Then he went back to Illinois and joined the regiment (I do not remember the exact group, but that information is in the possession of Claude Simpson of Pullman). He had several children at this time; my mother, Mary Helena Hare, was at that time about 12 years old. She had an older brother, Freight; a couple of brothers younger than she, and a sister.
The children broke out the farm with a team of oxen. They were called Buck and Berry. Buck was a short, stubby animal; somewhat, I guess, like a Durham. And, Berry was a long, rangy animal with long horns. Both of them were patient workers and the children could handle them. My mother, Mary, would drive the oxen, and her brother, my Uncle Freight, would hold the plow. The breaking up of the original sod was not easy. It had been there for centuries with sod and grass, and it was hard to break up. There were hundreds of small animals that were burrowed in the ground. The children soon learned to handle these animals and insects so that when the plow would plow up a snake's nest, they would jump and run and get away from the snakes. But they'd plow up nests of snakes and the snakes would be running every way.
When the migrations were on from the east to the west, many times people would come through with the covered wagons, with all their furniture, oxen, and everything else. And they would camp where they could pasture their animals in the evening and between times on the growing wheat or oats or whatever crops my grandmother and her children were raising. The children would be out cultivating the crops and when they would see the people coming to camp, they would become very much concerned and immediately would go and report to Grandmother. They soon worked out a procedure, when such a thing would happen: They would loose the oxen and mother would climb up on old Buck, which was the short one, and immediately start for the house. And my Uncle Freight would keep old Berry, the long-horned animal, and he would lead him over to where those animals were. Old Berry learned that he was to get those animals out of there. And so he would simply turn him loose, and old Berry would make for those animals and sometimes he could horn them and pitch them around with ease. Then, of course, the people would run out there with all kinds of pitchforks and guns and threaten to kill the animal if he didn't take him off. And so Uncle Freight would say "Okay, I'll take him off if you take your animals off our crops."
Well, about this time Grandmother would be showing up with the shotgun. When she got there she would say to the men, "Now you just saddle up or pack up your things and get away from my place. I'm going to give you just so long to do it. Now get going." Well, that was about the final thing. They generally got going without any question. Or they would make a solemn promise that they would not let the animals destroy the crops. Then Uncle Freight would bring old Berry back and they would yoke up the oxen again and finish their cultivation or take the implements back to the barn.
This was more remarkable because my grandmother Hare was a small woman. She was only about five feet two or three inches tall, and she only weighed about 100 pounds. She was black-haired and had brown eyes, but she had a positiveness about her. When she told people that she was going to shoot, they knew very well that was exactly what she meant.
A number of things happened like that, as they do happen in a new country. But none of the children were ever hurt. They were very cautious. They never got hurt and they never had any fires.
