Joseph Cole (1799-1878)
Oceola Township, Livingston County Michigan.

Joseph Cole was not among the first settlers in this section of Oceola, but by the 1859 he had erected this frame cabin that was listed briefly as a hotel.

County GIS satellite view of the current day parcel that the house is located on. Oceola Township, in the northeast corner of section 2. Joseph Cole's property is highlighted blue on this map of Oceola Twp, section 2. The map was published in 1859, two decades after the area's first settlers arrived. A disturbing (haunting, even...) photograph of Joseph Cole's only son Yates Thompson Cole (1836-1901.) The image is a Caucasian man with a receding hairline, pointed nose, and a beard. The blur or low resolution omitted the pupils of his eyes from the picture. The list of Oceola Township's first settlers, focused on "Section 2. - 1853, Samuel Griswold, John Stevens; 1836, Jacob Snell, Peter Martin, Thomas Van Tuyl, John Stevens, John A. Van Camp." Some of these names are still present on the 1859 map.
