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.
