==Early life==
Willis Vernon Cole was born in Detroit, Michigan, on March 3, 1882, to Willis Herbert Cole and Mary Elizabeth Stinchfield. He grew up in Detroit and attended the Art Students League of New York in New York City, where he studied sculpture and fine art. In 1903, at 20 years old, his eyesight had been failing in one eye, and in the other he began having trouble when medical doctors gave up hope on his recovery. He later reported during trial that, “God did the healing”,〔The New York Times, January 27, 1911: “Science Healers to Fight Test Case”〕 through Christian Science prayer treatment. Cole eventually became First Reader (conductor of services) in the Christian Science Church and then a practitioner himself, writing and producing four volumes of inspirational poetry, devoting much of it to Mary Baker Eddy, founder of that church.
In 1911, Cole married Agnes Young. The couple lived in Manhattan and Greenwich Village, where Cole continued his practice of Christian Science treatment and writing poetry. The Coles' circle of friends contained many notable persons of the day. Authors, playwrights, politicians, royalty, scientists, painters and military generals were among them. Cole was the official government anthologist of World War I songs and poetry,〔The Morning Herald, Maryland, January 8, 1926: "Writers Guild to Finance All-American Books, Plays".〕 and produced and maintained his own anthology of poems about and for the Allied troops, and the battles of that war. This anthology, “Songs of Armageddon”, was included in his broader collection, Our Leader and the Complete Poetical Works (Cambridge Press, New York, 1920).
