Dr. John Martin Cole, born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1858. He married Daisy Greer, went to Jersey in the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, New York, and then eventually to Maracaibo, Venezuela where he acted as a Lloyds Agent and held the position of British Vice-Consul. He also owned his own small private residential hospital that took in patients from all the various sugar and petroleum companies and was Head Surgeon at the Hospital of the Poor. He must have been pretty well off. I have a letter dated 3 December 1915, written by his daughter Dorothy to my grandparents in New Zealand telling them of his death on 20 November. She was looking after her father, her mother had returned to the Channel Islands. He was buried in the "Strangers Cemetery" in Maracaibo. John Cole was an outstanding athlete. Dorothy writes that she had sent for her brother Martin to come over from New York to help dispose of the estate. He was with the Cunard Line there. Dorothy married somebody by the name of Sadlier, at a later date, after she returned to her mother and sisters in the Channel Islands in 1916.
