Fred Cole was youngest child of John Conger Cole and Mary Arville
Osborn and arrived as they both turned forty. Fred brought with him
a series of illnesses which left him fragile and small, a condition
coupled with the fact of the mellowed adulthood of his parents and
the protection of his older siblings that shaped the career of his
life into that of poet and educator. He was a man well-read and of
quick wit, a 1896 graduate of Chesterton High School and of DePauw
University, both in Indiana. For many years he was known as
"Professor Cole" during his years as the Public Schools
Superintendent in Porter County, Indiana. Much of his poetry and
many of his songs were only published in the local newspapers of
the day, dying lonely deaths in the back pages next to columns of
ads for ointments and farm equipment. Soon after his death in 1959,
his surviving, written works were collected and edited for eventual
publication. This is that collection.
