Mrs. Mary Magdalene Cole, formerly of Corydon, passed away last Thursday at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. David Cole, in Bruceville,
Knox county. She would have been 97 years old on April 23.
Mrs. Cole was born in Harrison county April 23, 1837, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ephraim Briles. When 17 years old she was united in marriage to Allen Amy. To this union were born three children, William Henry, Sarah Ellen and Cassaranda, 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 member of the Corydon Christian Church, where she attended as long as her health permitted.
