Frank Estes Cole, sometimes known as F. E. Cole (March 4, 1908 – May 31, 1981), was an educator from Many, Louisiana, who served as a Democrat in both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature between 1944 and 1960.
Cole was born to Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Cole in Ball in northern Rapides Parish. He graduated in 1925 from Franklin High School in Franklin in Robertson County, near Bryan/College Station, Texas. He then attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where he played for the Tigers as a guard and a tackle. In 1931, he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture. He first taught and coached at Rayville High School in Rayville, the seat of Richland Parish in northeast Louisiana located to the east of Monroe. In the late 1930s, he moved to Many (pronounced MANNIE), the seat of Sabine Parish in western Louisiana, where he was a vocational agriculture teacher and football coach for four years.
During World War II, Cole was employed in the shipyards. He returned to teaching in 1950 and retired in 1965
