Aunt Beulah never married, but had been engaged at one time to a man who died before they could married. Apparently he was her one and only.
Having access to great clothes-making material at the store where she worked, when would drive to Ohio to visit her sister, Pearl Gilbert, she would always bring ample fabric. Pearl would then make all her children's clothing.
At one point, she rented a room in what is now Miss Butler's Bed and Breakfast in Pulaski. She was remembered by sister Pearl's daughters, Mildred and Petty, as being an intelligent and resourceful woman.
Obituary in The Pulaski Citizen
Miss Beulah May Cole, 69, manager of The Fair Store in Pulaski for the past twelve years, died about noon Thursday at a Lawrenceburg Sanitarium after a six-weeks illness.
The body was at Bennett-May Funeral Home Thursday afternoon and funeral services were incomplete when The Citizen went to press.
A native of Giles Couinty, Miss Cole was the daughter of the late Lewis and Elizabeth Balch Cole, and resided in the Minor Hill community prior to moving to Pulaski about forty years ago to become connected with former Butler-Warren & Company store as a saleslady. She later accepted a similar position with The Fair Store, successor to the Butler-Warren Store, and had served as manager of that store for approximately 12 years.
She was a member of the East Hill Church of Christ, the Pulaski Chamber of Commerce, and the National Store Council.
Miss Cole is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Willie Sewell of Lynnville; Mrs. W. M. Daniel of Prospect; Mrs. Ray Davis of Lawrenceburg, and Mrs. Russell Gilbert of Akron, Ohio; and two brothers, W. C. Cole of Minor Hill and Earl Cole of Nashville.
