| Notes |
- William Carter Cole, son of Monroe Sr. and Laura Cole, Born near Kenton, TN, October 21, 1879 died in St Louis, Mo December 28, 1975. He was a lifetime member of the St. Paul Baptist Church in Kenton, and a 33 degree Mason in the County Line Lodge #268. He attended a Shriner Convention in Indianapolis in 1953. His favorite scripture was Psalms 37:25.
Not much is known of W.C. Cole's relatives; in the 1990s while on the parking lot of the Kenton Motel, I saw this old guy with a big blue Ford pickup towing a horse trailer. After excersising his horse in the field , he came over, and identified himself as a cousin of Poppa Will. He was a short wireing guy in his 80s, I'm sorry I didn't get his name.

 | Kenton Tennessee History: As I remember and heard By Mrs. Willie J. Cole Moore
Years ago, prior to 1905 several black families? lives in what was the Long House located on the street where First Baptist Church was formerly located. Families living in the Long House as I remember hearing my parents say were Bob and Ida Hunt parents of the late Manor Hunt and Mrs. Nora Scates of St. Louis, Mo. William and Sophia Col, Laura Williams, Robert and Henrietta Williams grandparents of James Williams, Louise and Ellaulse Cole were born on what is now 105 Cole St. also are the rest of the Cole children, other families lived at Long House until they could build or buy a house. |

 | 40 Anniversary Rosson Cemetery Memorial
May 2006, St Paul Baptist Church
Kenton, Tennessee
The picture above brings back so many memories of all our good times and of all our family members
(many of whom have passed on, but are not forgotten). We sat on that porch and swung on that swing
seat for many,many years. We listened to crickets and felt that humid temperature as we slept. We watched
the children run and play and enjoy the quiet life of a less hurried world than back home. We reminded
them over and over to not cross the street without looking back and forth because it was a highway, not a
regular street!
The 40th Anniversary of the Rosson Cemetery Memorial will be Sunday, May 28, 2006, at St. Paul Baptist
Church, Kenton, Tennessee (Reverend Willie Pounds, Pastor). |

 | Oldest 1972 Kenton Resident born in Kenton, William Carter Cole
Kenton's oldest 1972 resident born in Kenton is also Kenton's oldest Black citizen. William Carter Cole's life seems to go much farther back in history than his ninety-three years suggest with the revelation that he is the grandson of slaves. |

Interesting, he was working as a farm laborer in Tipton Lake, TN about 85 miles from Kenton. This was when my Mom was seven years old and the pandemic was starting. |
