The story goes that Judge COLE of Galveston came to this county and bought some land. His sons were too young to come along, so he sent his nephew, Milton H. COLE here. Milton went back to Galveston to get his fiancee. She was quite ill at the time, but family just thought it was consumption or tuberculosis, and that she would get better in the dryer climate. They let them get married, an the couple came to here. She lived 3 weeks and died from typhoid fever. She was the first burial.
