(3) A Little History of Woodville, Indiana The little village of Woodville was founded by my Great-great grandfather, John C. Cole, in 1880. He had bought some property on the south side of the & O RR about where a country road (now Porter Co. Road 900N) crosses the tracks. It seemed an ideal spot for a station and a central location for the local farmers to bring goods to be shipped by rail. He established a General Store, petitioned for and won a Post Office status, a blacksmith shop, and a freight loading platform. He was the first Postmaster for the village. The station shipped large quantities of milk, beef, and other farm goods to Chicago and received other goods in return. It was at one time the largest sassafras root tea shipping center on the B & O, evidently something to be proud of, then. For periods of time lumber was shipped to Chicago from this station and grain products as well. A lot of beer was returned to Woodville, and broken bottles of Sieps Beer still turn up from time to time along the right of way. I have two pictures of Woodville - one is of the General store with John Cole standing in front of it, and the other is of the station, a very nice building with a large platform for milk cans and an ornate scale that gave fortunes for a penny. This scale still exists and gives fortunes somewhere in the area. Clinton X. Griswold tells of stories he heard as a child growing up in this area of the Woodville Village. Joseph Hineline operated a little creamery and cheese factory at the Woodville stop and raised a daughter who would eventually marry John Cole's son. For a time John Cole built "cracky wagons" in his blacksmith shop and sold them around the neighborhood. John had a very nice farm about a mile and a half away that he established just before the Civil War. After about twenty-some years of farming he moved from that farm to his land at Woodville to be closer to his investments. Worsening back problems related to war injuries demanded he lessen his travel and work. Another son-in-law, Alexander Freer, took over the Postmaster and store clerk duties. However, a degenerative nerve disease eventually crippled him and he died young. Another man, H. W. Johnson, nicknamed "Windy" for his tall tales, helped out in the store and began to take more responsibilities as John aged and Alex became more infirm. When John died in 1905 his widow sold the store and much of the land to Dave Linderman who quickly closed the store and opened a nursery business that still exists in his name and family. "Windy" opened a store on the north side of the tracks and ran a business there for quite a number of years. He Local News Business in Woodville in Aug 1884 in Woodville, Porter Co., IN. (64) 13 Aug. 1884 - Mr. E.M. Davis, traveling freight agent of the B&O Ry. was here Friday, looking after the grain shipping interest and brick making, giving full assurance that the B&O will give fair rates and ample facilities to any parties that will engage in the manufacture of brick but the company do not wish to commit themselves until there is some evidence of acceptance. He in company with Mr. Cole went to Valparaiso to interview some parties who have been talking of start-ing brick yards here, and report very favorably. - Mr. J. C. Cole has been repairing his elevator and is now prepared to buy and receive grain, paying the highest shipping market price. 20 Aug. 1884 - Business has been a little more active for the past week. Wheat and oats begin to come in. Mr. Cole reports 1,600 bushels of the former, and 1,200 bushels of the latter as being marketed here this week. Shipments have been two cars of wheat and one car of oats to Baltimore, and one car of wood, 200 doz. eggs and 100 pounds of butter to Chicago. - J. C. Cole is paying the highest shipping price for good clean wheat and oats. He ships to Baltimore, which has been a better market so far this season than New York. He died on 21 Dec 1905 in Porter Co., IN. He Obituary John C. Cole on 4 Jan 1906 in The Chesterton Tribune, Chesterton, Indiana. (65) From The Chesterton Tribune, Chesterton, IN, 4 January 1906 CARD OF THANKS. WE DESIRE TO RETURN OUR THANKS to the members or (sic) the Masonic fraternity, friends and neighbors for their kindness and assistance during the illness and death of our husband and father. MRS. JOHN C. COLE AND FAMILY. ANOTHER PIONEER GONE John C. Cole, one of Porter county's earliest settlers, passed away at his home in Woodville, Sunday, Dec. 31, 1905, of pneumonia, after an illness of four days, aged 69 years, 11 months, 4 days. John C. Cole, son of Edward P. and Sally (Dillingham) Cole, was born in Huron county, Ohio, January 27, 1836. Two years later the family came to Northern Indiana and began the strenuous task of creating a home in the forest wilderness. In those days the marks of civilization were few; the deer roamed at will through the woods, and even a few Indians still remained. [I understand Edward and John left the doors unlatched so Indians could come in during the night and warm themselves on chilly nights] Succeeding years saw the forest areas transformed into cultivated fields. In his twentieth year, Mr. Cole was married to Mary A. Osborn, a native of Huron county, Ohio. He then began his home making a short distance from the paternal estate. He toiled sturdily and successfully. At the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted with Company E., 73rd Ind. Vol. Infantry, and served three years, becoming orderly sergeant, with special charge at times of ordinance and commissary. With his regiment he participated in the battles of Perryville, Chapel Hill and a raid to Alabama where they were captured and paroled and placed on guard duty. [He evidently took this seriously enough to help the Confederates repel a Union attack on the prison (!)] He was mustered out of service at Nashville July 10, 1865. In 1880 Mr. Cole founded Woodville Station, on the B. & O. railroad, and removed to that place in 1882. Several days ago an attack of pneumonia, made more serious by failing health, terminated a long and well spent life. The funeral was held January 2, at the Methodist church in Chesterton, Revs. Smock and Smith officiating. Ritualistic services were conducted by the Masonic order under the auspices of Calumet Lodge, No. 379, of which Mr. Cole had been a member since 1872. Several touching tributes of respect were tendered by men who had been his life long friends. Interment took place in the Chesterton cemetery. Besides the loving wife there remain to mourn, two daughters and three sons --Etta Griswold, Adah Freer, Daniel E., George J., and Frederic H.; a brother, C. C. Cole, and a sister, Lois McCorkel. Mr. Cole was a useful member of the community in which he lived. He had been long identified with the Republican party, which had tendered him several offices of trust. [More on his feelings about the Republican party a little later] He was scrupulously honest, square in his dealings with his fellow men and kind to the needy. May he rest in peace. ----------------------------------------------- 4 January 1906 MEMORIAM At a called meeting of Calumet Lodge No. 379 F. & A.M. at 8 o'clock A.M. on January 2, 1906, the following resolutions were adopted: RESOLVED, That a committee be appointed to draft a resolution of respect and condolence on the death of Brother John C. Cole. To have the same printed in the CHESTERTON TRIBUNE, a copy sent to the bereaved family, and a copy spread on the records of our lodge. THEREFORE, Be it remembered that, in the death of Brother John C. Cole, his family has lost an affectionate husband, a kind father, the community a true and benevolent friend and this lodge a faithful and consistent member. Brother John C. Cole was made an entered apprentice mason in Calumet Lodge No. 379 on February 26th, passed to the degree of a fellow craft on March 16th, and raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason on April 8th, 1872. In 1880 he was elected Seignior Warden and in 1887 he was elected Worshipful Master of Calumet Lodge, being the highest honor this lodge could bestow upon him. We therefore sincerely mourn the loss of our dear brother, John C. Cole. 9Al Harper, Gus Fensky, A. L. Blachley 9comm. From The Chesterton Tribune, Chesterton, IN, 4 Jan. 1906 --Woodville-- When J. C. Cole died Sunday morning, the community lost one of its best and most respected citizens and gentlemen as well. One who left the world he lived in far better than he found it, and always saw the best in others and always gave the best he had, therefore we mourn our loss. --------------------------------------------- He served in the military 4 August, 1862, to 1 July, 1865 in 73rd Indiana Regiment, Co. E. (66) --------------------------------------------- Mustered in South Bend in Co. E., 73rd Indiana Regiment, on August 16, 1862. Joined for duty on August 4, 1862, at Calumet (Chesterton). Physical description: 25 yo,; height: 5' 7-1/2"; compexion: light, blue eyes, brown hair; born in Huron Co., Ohio; occupation: farmer. Promoted from Private to Sergeant, March 29, 1863. Another record shows that J. C. Cole was sick during Dec., 1862, and in convalescent camp in Gallatin, Tenn., and again during Jan. and Feb., 1863. In Sept., 1864, he was sick and in hospital in Decatur, Alabama. On May 3rd, 1863, J. C. Cole was captured in Cedar Bluff, Alabama, and confined at Richmond, Virginia on May 9th, 1863. From there he was paroled at City Point, Va. on May 15th, 1863; reported to Camp Parole, Maryland, on May 18, 1863. Sent to Camp Chase on May 19 and reported there on May 22. The record further states: "Name appears on list of stragglers and deserters on May 29th. J. C. Cole was arrested and sent to the Guard House and then on to Camp Morton June 2-3, 1863. He was charged $5 for transportation and other expenses. He has reference number 7. ---------------------------------------------- Founded the town of Woodville, IN, in 1880 and operated general store, blacksmith and wagon shop, creamery, depot, and post office. Tiny village existed into early 1900's. Married his first cousin - see Civil War letter to father, Diary, Marriage story in Documents. John Cole's Civil War Letter To His Father Cole Family Documents This is an envelope and letter from John to his father, postmarked January 29, 1864, and evidently sent from the prison camp. It bears a 3 cent stamp and is addressed: Edward P. Cole Coffee Creek P.O. Porter Co., Indiana. The letter itself is dated September 21, 1864, from Moorsville, Alabama. The complete text follows. [NOTE: The use of the 18th century style of writing is evident in this letter: John uses the "f"-looking "s" as the first "s" in words and reverses the use of commas and periods, which may have been more of an English style of writing.] Dear Parents, I acknowledge my existance and the enjoyment of good health at this time, Daniel and the Boys are getting better they have been afflicted with the Ague, there has been a considerable Sickness in our Regts. this Summer but no fatal diseases we are at Moorsville waiting Orders we are not doing much duty here, it is uncertain where we will go to from here, or what kind of duty we will be assigned to. Father! I hardly know what to write as my mind has been greatly aroused and vexed since I received information that you had declared you would not Support the present Administration nor vote for Abraham Lincoln, and would not be considered a Republican any longer, but would Support the Democrat party this fall, When the news came to my knowledg I could not be reconsiled to think you would Sacrifice your own interest the interests of your family and Sons [John and all his brothers: David, Andrew, Giles, Martin, and Christopher; Andrew and Giles died in camp from illness, David was wounded and discharged early.] who have left their quiet homes. Families and all that calculated to make men happy, And gone forth to suffer the privations of a military life and Suffer Sickness, disease and even Death, to Subjugate and Surpress the most UnGodly Rebellion ever known to exist, it is enough to chill the Blood in a Soldiers veins to think this falls Election, if not gained by the votes of Loyal men, will prove to be the greatest Defeat to the Union army during this war Now is the time when this Goverment needs the assistance of all her Loyal Citizens, while we have Got the Enemy driven from their most Productive Country and from all their important lines of Rail Road and routes of communication and their Armies discouraged and disheartened for want of food clothing &c to make them comfortable, Now is the time to Strike the fatal blow, by Electing the men that will prosecute the war on the most vigorous and honorable terms, for my part am willing to trust the men that are now in power, I cannot See but to Sides to the Political issue for this fall Election, one is the Republican party composed of the Loyal Citizens who are in favor of prosecuting the war on the principle that will procure lasting piece and happiness to all American people, The other is the Democrat party composed of the radical piece men the Traitors copperheads and others who are unconcious of their future destiny They are in favor of piece on any terms they are willing to Sacrifice the enormous expense of the war the effusion of Blood and the Sacrifice of thousands of precious lives and be looked upon by all Nations as defeated and compelled to recognize the independance of the Southern Confederacy, they want piece Conventions Compromise treaties Armistice Withdrawal of the troops, and any thing of a disgracefull nature, So the war can be Settled by the Democrat party, I think if the Loyal voters do their duty this fall and Elect Lincoln Johnson Colfax Morton &c &c Piece can be obtained on reasonable terms, but if to the contrary this Goverment and her people are doomed to eternal ruin and distruction, there is but two Sides to be taken this fall, one is for us and the other is against us and he that is against is a traitor to his country and to his own interests I must close for want of time and paper I hope this will find you well and willing to Support the Union ticket please write when convenient my love to all from Your true Loyal Son till lasting piece be restored though Death and Hell oppose, John C. Cole To Parents & friends -------------------------------------------- Much later in life John C. Cole would take active roles in the surrounding communities. One of these was the Farmers' Institute of Porter County. From newspaper accounts of the day, we find that he often played a leading role and spoke at these events. From an account in the Chesterton Tribune of the Institute's meeting in November, 1901: "...[Mr. Van Norman of Purdue University] was followed by John C. Cole of Woodville, his subject being "Scientific Buttermaking." Mr. Cole is one of the largest buttermakers in this country, if not the largest. He has given years of study to the subject, and has succeeded in turning out a quality of butter that is in demand at prices above the market. His talk was very interesting and instructive." --------------------------------------------- Another community involvement was politics. John C. Cole was active in the Republican party, as was his father. He was at least once a delegate to the state convention. And he was an active member of the Scottish Rite, participating in conventions and holding offices. Parents: Edward Payne COLE and Sally DILLINGHAM. He was married to
Mary Arvilla OSBORN on 14 Sep 1856 in Porter Co., IN.
