Mrs. Mary Magdalene Cole, former-
ly of Corydon, passed away last
Thursday, at the home of her grand-
daughter, Mrs. David Cole in Bruce-

been 97 years old on April 28.
Mrs. Cole was born in Harrison

Mr. and Mrs. Ephraim Briles. When
17 years old she was united in mar-
riage to Allen Amy. To this union
were born three children. William
Henry, Sarah Ellen and Cassandra
all of whom preceded her in death. In
1883 she was married to William A.
Peters, who died in 1885. Her third
husband David Cole died in 1902. In
her later life she became a memer
of the Corydon Christian Church,
where she attended as long as her
health permitted.
Mrs. Cole suffered the fracture of
her hip in March, 1933, and after that
time she was in feeble health. She was
taken several weeks ago to Bruceville
to be cared for by her granddaughter.
The survivors are ten grandchildren,
twenty-eight great-grandchildren;
eighteen great-great-grandchildren;
one son in law, Edward B. Swan, and
a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hester C.
Amy.

al services were held at 10 o'clock
