(4)Newspaper. Saturday, December 12, 1908. Obituary. Death of Mr David Cole. The old residents of the district still continue to pass away, and of late scarcely an issue has been sent broadcast without containing a notice of the demise of one of the old hands. One of the latest to add to the long list who have passed over to the Great Beyond is Mr David Cole, who while on this earth was known for his honesty and uprightness of character.
Up to three months ago this sturdy old pioneer had enjoyed particularly good health,but at this period he was stricken with an ailment that eventually proved too severe for a failing constitution to cast asunder. However, he fought against it manfully, but five or six days prior to his death he was compelled to take to his bed. Even then it was never thought by his immediate relatives that his end was close at hand, and up to within a few minutes of his entering upon his long rest he was speaking cheerfully to his two daughters and a son-in-law, but all of a sudden he collapsed without warning and passed peacefully away. He died on Tuesday at his own residence at East Molong from general break up of the system.
The deceased gentleman was a native of Gloucestershire, England and when only six years of age came with his parents to Australia, and settled down with them at "Charlton", near Rockley, the residence of the late Mr Charles McPhillamy. Here he grew up into manhood, and followed farming and other pursuits. At the age of 25 he was married, and continued to work for the same old boss for another 18 years--or speaking correctly he was in his employ for something like 37 years. Later on he removed to Manildra and Garra, and after some years at those places he came to Molong, where he has resided for the past six years.
Mr Cole, who was 72 years of age at the time of his death, leaves behind a sorrowing wife and a family of ten sons and daughters to mourn their irreparable loss, and for whom the greatest sympathy is felt. They include-- Wm. R.Cole (Molong), Henry David (Cudal), Albert George (Queensland), Frederick Charles (Redbank), Mrs W.Cole (Manildra), Mrs Harry Johnson (Red Hill), Mrs Chas Denny (Mentone, Victoria), Mrs Alf Staines (Redbank) and Misses Laura May and Rose Cole (Molong). He also leaves 18 grandchildren.
The funeral took place on Wednesday and was well attended, the remains being interred in a portion of the Wesleyan cemetary. The Rev. H.L.Redman officiated at the graveside, and he was assisted by Ensign McKinnon and Capt. Fletcher of the Salvation Army.

Arrived aboard "Elizabeth" on 23rd August 1841. Name registered on the ships passanger list was Coles.
John Charles 13 years.
William 11 years
David 4 years.
Henry 2 years.
Mary Ann 8 years.
Zenobia 7 years.
Five more children were born in Australia.

The Cole family lived in the Bathurst District for some time in the employ of McPhillamy. William (Snr), John Charles and young Henry are buried on the hilltop at Charlton.
After their fathers death, David took his family and Mother to Molong. The majority of his family settled, made their mark, forged their own destinies and are buried in that district.
