Colonel of Maine Militia 1824: tombstone has military (War of 1812?) marker and flag.

Member of Maine Legislature in 1837-38; Selectman of Greenwood, Maine for twenty-nine years; town treasurer 1856, 1858.

From Barbara Honkala 11/26/01:
Cyprian died very suddenly from a heart attack in Greenwood; he was one of the first inhabitants and often held a position of trust. Amos Bryant says Col. Cyprian used to live on the Daniel Young place beyond Bacon Falls in Greenwood [that would be somewhere near his father’s old farm], but he only remembers him as living where his son Richard lived.

The 1897 Biographical Review: “Cyprian is said to have engaged in agriculture the greater part of his life.”

Per Harold C. Perham, Maine Families, Book 4, pg. 143:
“To the best of my knowledge, Jotham Perham and Cyprian Cole were life-time friends, first on High Street, and later in Greenwood and Woodstock. I believe that Cyprian Cole’s first wife, Lovicy Perham Cole, is buried in the Perham Neighborhood Cemetery near old Lemuel and Betsey Perham, her parents. Cyprian Cole’s second wife was Patty Tuell, daughter of Patty (Perham) Tuell and Ebenezer Tuell. Patty Perham Tuell was the oldest of the sisters of Jotham Perham. It is essential that the writer points out these close family ties, for the Coles and the Perhams are tied into both the Greenwood history as well as the Woodstock history.”

Cyprian Cole’s obituary provided by Chris Dunham via Facebook, 18 May 2016 (see image in Multimedia).
Oxford Democrat, Nov. 29, 1861.
Died in Greenwood, Nov. 17, Colonel Cyprian Cole, aged about 70 years.
He was one of the first inhabitants of that town, and often held positions of trust, having three times represented the inhabitants in the State Legislature. He was also formerly interested in military matters, and was promoted through the several grades from private to Colonel. He was a good citizen and an honest man.

From Town of Greenwood, 1816-1960:
“What was known as the Woodstock and Greenwood Baptist Church was organized in 1830 by the people of the Eastern part of Greenwood and the Western part of Woodstock. The services were generally held in the Bryant Neighborhood in Greenwood. No church edifice was ever erected by the society, its meetings being held in the schoolhouse. Deacon Jacob Whitman, Deacon Christopher Bryant, Jacob Whitman, Jonathan Cole, Joseph Whitman, D. Richer, L. Whitman and Cyprian Cole were leading members.” (pg. 15)

Children from both wives listed in old Woodstock records, (pg. 56/857).

No birth record yet found.
Date of birth, 15 Apr 1792, and location Bridgewater, MA, from E.B. Cole’s The Descendants of James Cole of Plymouth, 1633. E.B. Cole says all of Eleazer’s and Lucy’s children were born in Bridgewater, MA.
But date would suggest that Cyprian was born in No. 4/Paris or somewhere nearby.
1850 USC lists birthplace as ME.
1860 USC lists birthplace as ME.

Son Richard’s biography in the 1897 Biographical Review notes that Cyprian (Cyperin) was born in Paris, but the same entry lists “Cyperin” Cole’s first wife as Lavisa Perrin, so there may be other errors.

“Baptists were also numerous in the early town. They were ministered to by Stephen Chase and Jacob Whitman, of Woodstock; Christopher Bryant and others in Greenwood. What was known as the Woodstock and Greenwood Baptist Church was organized in 1830, by the people of the east part of Greenwood, and the west part of Woodstock. The services were generally held in the Bryant Neighborhood, in Greenwood. No church edifice was ever erected by the society, its meetings being held in the school house. Dea. Jacob Whitman, Dea.
