The meetings were sometimes held on the north side of Barren Grove, and at other times at the west end, in school-houses, and often in the open air.

Thos. Cole Passes Away
Thomas Cole passed away at his home here Monday evening about six o'clock after a brief illness. While not in the best of health for some time before his death, he was able to be about most of the time.

The funeral service will likely not be held until late in the week as a son, John Cole of Loma, Montana, is coming and the body will be held until he arrives.
