ALBERT SOLE

Albert Sole was born April 27th, 1887, on a farm near Winterset, Iowa, of the union of Joseph Robert Sole and Ruth Cox. At the age of 15, he moved with his parents to the Earlham community where he spent the rest of his life.

On February 14, 1917, he was united in marriage with Katie Irene Croft. After 14 months in the service of his country in World War I, he and his wife moved to their farm southeast of town. Two daughters, Helen Sole Buche and Nellie came to bless this union.

Mr. Sole was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Earlham, at one time was active in the American Legion, and served his neighbors for several years on the Board of Directors of the Adams Township Mutual Telephone Company.

He was a kind and loving husband and father. He always enjoyed the company of his many friends and neighbors and was ever willing to lend them a helping hand.

His illness was of fairly short duration and he passed to his reward following a series of strokes on February 7th in the Veterans Administration hospital in Des Moines.

His wife and daughters and son-in-law, James Buche, together with three sisters, Mrs. Clara Brittain, Mrs. Perry Roderick and Mrs. Charles Addy and many other relatives and a host of friends mourn his departure. Two sisters, Lily Mae and Elizabeth, and one brother, George, preceded him in death.

Albert married Katie Irene CROFT on 14 Feb 1917. Katie was born on 11 Mar 1889 in Madison County, Iowa; died on 03 May 1958 in Madison County, Iowa; was buried in Earlham Cemetery, Earlham, Madison Co., Iowa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
