And as such I now take the liberty of writing you, giving you as best I can some of the conditions, characteristics, and customs of this country and its people. The Nephite in South Africa sees many strange and peculiar sights which are entirely foreign to his native town. The people are of an extremely different type, being a grand mixture of probably every nation on earth. A more cosmopolitan place would in my opinion be hard to find. South Africa seems, in the past; to have been an inviting place to many different classes of people, namely, wealthy Europeans who have turned their course this way to enjoy life under aa dial climate, in a leisurely way. Tk 'n again there are those who ..ought Africa as their homes for practically the same reason that our Pilgrim forefathers landed in America, "To worship God according to the dictates of their conscience", and colonzers from Holland who have established themselves ip groups or farming communities throughout Afri ca.

Cole died a peaceful death last Monday morning without being the victim of any desease, except that he had finished his work here, and went to his final resting place. He was born in Herefordshire, England, in 182S; joined the church therein 1840; and in April 1841 emigrated to America. He went directly to Nauvoo, 111, where he lived until 1846, leaving that fall for Utah, and stayed at Winter Quarters during that winter. With the 1847 pioneers he crossed the plains by ox team in Bp. Hunter's hundred, and arrived in Salt Lake in October of 1847. In 1849 he joined a company of gold seekers and lived in the golden state until 1852, when he moved to Nephi where he has lived ever since. In 1857 he was married to Emma Jenkins. He raised a large, family, and was engaged in the farminc industry all of his life. Although he never held any church positions, he was always a faithlul Llatter Day Saint, and a good citizen of the community. He was the father of 16 children, 14 of whom are hving,-W- m.
