Joseph Cole was the son of Hugh and Sarah Cole; the maiden name of the latter was Bishop-citizens of the State of New York. Nearly all of this ancestry were members of the Regular Baptist Church.

Through Mr. Cole's untiring zeal, the history of his company was preserved, and forms a part of the military history of Delaware Co. Mr. Cole's ability and integrity is recognized in his having been called upon to serve almost continuously as Justice of the Peace since his return from the army. On the death of JAMES COLE, member Co. C, 26th O V. I.
Mourn not for the hero, though he's your son,
Mourn not for a soul that's so brave ;
Though from this earth his spirit has gone,
He sleeps in an honorable grave.
His brother stood by him-no less a hero
When he fell by the hand of death ;
No language can tell the anguish of woe,
Of a brother who was thus bereft.
His comrades all loved him, he had not a foe,
His absence is felt with regret;
But angels will be as his friends were below ;
He's welcomed wherever he's met.
