Greetings,

I visited the Mt. Hope site in the Summer of 2003. I found a family plot for the Cole Family, but no Warren A. Cole! I did photograph the site. Unfortunately, the Library, Historical Society, and Cemetery Office were all closed that Friday! Most because of a state budget problem at the time.

I think a contact with the local folks at Swansea might be helpful.

Let me quote my source for his burial: " Burial was in Horton Land, Rehoboth, Mass., in ancestral property of many acres. Horton Land was the birthplace of his mother, and dates back many generations."

The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Allen Webster Joslin, Rector of Christ Epsicopal Chuch in Swansea. The Church's records might shed some light on his burial site.

I would greatly appreciate the aid of any Brother who has the time to "crack" this little mystery.

I would like to see his grave site, along with a few other early Lambda Chi leaders, properly memorialized in time for our Centennial in 2009.

I bet that our Good Brothers from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New England and, to use an old term "LambdaKaidom," in general would contribute the funds needed to properly mark our Founder's grave site.

Something to think about on this Memorial Day Holiday....

Yours in ZAX,
