Excerpt from A Tribute of Affection to the Memory of the Late Rev. George W. Cole
A writer has somewhere said, There are some persons, upon whose foreheads, every man can read the sentence of death, written in the lines of a lingering sickness; but they sometimes hear the passing bell ring for stronger men, even long before their own knell, calls at the house of their mother earth, to open her door and make a bed for them.
In the minds of those who have known the circumstances of my health, the last three or four years, it would have excited but little surprise, had my own knell been rung long ere this.
But in regard to the subject of this Tribute, we seemed to be mutually agreed in the impression, that, although other members of the family would probably find a premature grave, he must live to be venerable for age, wisdom and usefulness.

Born in 1805 in Saco, Maine, George Washington Cole dedicated his early life to the community and faith. As a child, he exhibited obedience and sensitivity, strongly influenced by his devout mother's teachings. After a period of farming, Cole moved to a village where he faced moral and religious challenges. Through self-reflection and scriptural study, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening, leading him to join the church in 1823.
