Cole, Albert , Farmer, “Rosevale,” Spar Bush. Mr Cole was born in 1856, at Launceston, Devonshire, England, where he was educated, and brought up to a country life. He arrived at the Bluff by the ship “Western Monarch,” in 1879, and soon afterwards bought 200 acres of freehold a Spar Bush. The entire property was in its native state of tussock, rushes, scrub and flax swamp, but it has now been brought to a good state of cultivation. Mr Cole was married, in 1884, to a daughter of Mr H. Stroud, of London, and has six sons and four daughters.
