The history of this county would be incomplete without a record of the family which the above-named gentleman represents, for the reason that his ancestors, by early resi- dence In the county, have helped materially in the making of its history. Coming from pioneer stock, the subject of this sketch is possessed of those enviable characteristics which make for success in whatever path of life their possessor chooses to travel. George M. Cole is the worthy selon of worthy ancestry. He was born in this county on July 3, 1860, the son of Benjamin and Martha (Shields) Cole, the former of whom was born in Indiana in 1833, and the latter, on a farm near Blanchester, this county, in 1837.

To this farm he came when the land consisted of woods, but he went resolutely to work to clear and improve it, and now after twenty-eight years of residence, is abundantly rewarded for his strenuous labors.
The domestic phase of a man's career is quite as important as his life in the world of occupational activity, for it furnishes the background for that life and for all his social relationships. On February 26. 1883. George M. Cole married Lizzie Wisbey, who was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on November 4, 1852, the daughter of Lewis and Margaret (Cartwright) Wisbey.
