"When Joseph Cole, Jr., was a young man, he was interested in
baseball. He played on the University of New Hampshire team at
third base. After graduation in the class of 1929, he continued playing
and in 1930 was a member of the Orioles Baseball Team of Barrington,
New Hampshire. The team captured both the county and'State championships;
and, in 1938, was in competition with state champion teams
all over the United States. In the play-off at Wichita, Kansas, they
finished in fifth place and were given the United States Sportsmanship
Award."
Joe Cole was a selectman for Madbury from 1950-54. I remember him as the road agent of Madbury. I believe that is what he was called, he worked with his crew fixing the roads.
