MEMORIAL REGORD.
J UDGE CHESTER C. COLE is one of the most eminent men of Iowa, having taken a leading part in political, pro- fessional and educational work, and by merit and ability winning a place in the fore- most ranks among Iowa's honored sons.
He was born in Oxford, Chenango county, New York, June 4, 1824, and is a son of Sam- uel and Alce (Pullman). Cole, the former a na- tive of Connecticut and the latter of Rhode Island. The ancestry of the family can be traced back to John Cole, who came from Eng- land to America about 1670, and settled in New England. The paternal grandfather of our subject, Thomas Cole, was a native of Con- necticut, and died in Oxford, New York, in 1828, being almost a centenarian at the time of his death. Samuel Cole carried on the occu- pation of farming as a life work. He had two brothers, Amos and Silas, who served in the Revolutionary war. He was a highly edu- cated man, and became one of the pioneer set- tlers of Oxford, New York, where he attained to considerable prominence in public affairs. He died in Chenango county, New York, No- vember 8, 1832, while his wife survived until January, 1858. They were both members of the Unitarian Church: In their family were eleven children, six sons and five daughters, and with the exception of one son, Nathaniel, who died in infancy, all lived to mature years and reared families of their own. They were Eunice Wilcox, Hannah Hancock, Calvin, Prudence Blackman, Spencer, Phœbe Ann Fan- ning, Charles, Rachel Harvey, William H. and Chester C. The last two are the only survi- vors of the family, and William now resides in
Baltimore, Maryland. He was for many years agent of the American Bible Society, and of late years has been an accountant.
Judge Chester C. Cole was reared in the county of his nativity, began his education in the public schools, and also pursued his studies in the Oxford Academy. He was not a robust boy, his health being very poor much of the time. He lived on the farm with his mother until thirteen years of age, when he entered upon his business career as a clerk in a store in Oxford, where he continued for four years. Again he entered school, for he was ambitious to acquire a good education, and the broad, general information he obtained made an ex- cellent foundation for his law studies, which he commenced about the time he attained his majority. He was admitted to the bar in Au- gust, 1848, after completing a thorough course in the Harvard Law School, of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The following month he en- tered upon the practice of his chosen profes- sion in Marion, Crittenden county, Kentucky, where he continued until May, 1857, when, wishing for a wider field of labor, he sought a home in the Northwest. It was then that he came to Des Moines, and almost immediately entered upon a large law practice. His thor- ough knowledge of his profession, his ability as a pleader, and his logical and forcible argu- ments soon won him a reputation that secured for him a liberal clientage.
It was not long before he became promi- nent in political circles, and in June, 1859, about two years after his arrival in Des Moines, he was nominated by the Democracy for the office of Judge of the State Supreme Court, but

HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL
was defeated. In 1860 he was a candidate for Congress, running against Samuel R. Curtis. The .canvass was an exciting one and memor- able in the politics of the State. From start to finish, covering a period of seventy days, joint debates were had twice a day. This was in a day before railroads in southern Iowa and the contestants traveled in private conveyances crossing the State from east to west three times. In these debates the remarkable ver- satility of Judge Cole as a debater was splen- didly brought out. Pitted against a man of acknowledged ability and accepted leadership of a party, made doubly aggressive by the force of numbers, he more than held his own to the discomfiture of his able opponent and the amazement of his adversaries following. Mr. Curtis was a man of good abilities, but lacked quickness in making timely replies to his young and agile opponent's thrusts. Judge Cole, while defeated in this contest by 1, 000 votes, established a reputation as a convinc- ing, logical speaker that has been as endur- ing as his splendid reputation as a jurist and advocate.
