Descendants of Isaac Coffin

General Notes: Isaac appears on the taxpayers list for Rombout/Fishkill for the years 1738, 1740, 1741, 1743-1747.

LAND: [William Coffing] purchased land near his father's land in Northampton [Bucks County, PA] in 1730. in 1733 he sold two parcels here, one owned jointly with his brother Abraham; another parcel was sold to his brother Jacob 1.3. A witness to the sale was Isaac Coffing whose connection, if any, has not yet been established.

I am considering the possibility that Isaac was the son of Jacob and Sarah Coffing of Philadelphia and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The only connection so far is the Isaac Coffing who witnessed the above mentioned land sale, and the names of Isaac's children, Jacob and Sarah, which fits with the Dutch naming system.

Note about Jacob Coffing Jr. (abt 1700-?)
He died intestate. His widow Rachel was named executrix of his property,
which was divided equally among his four daughters. Each, in turn, sold
her share.
In September 1736, George Wilson of Philadelpha, Joyner and Robert Hind
were named intestate administrators. In 1740 or 1741 there was a statement
that: At the request of Arnold Koster and Rachel, his wife, we have viewed
a plantation or farm, in the county of Bucks, containing about 100 acres
(now in the tenure of William Novle) and belonging to the estate of Jacob
Coffin, deceased, which we appraise at 80 pounds." Witnessed by ISAAC
COFING, Jonathan Dungan and Joseph Dungan.

Fire - The barn attached to Coffin's Tavern-stand, in Deerfield, about six miles from this city on the road to Newport, was burned on Thursday night, and 39 cows and four horses consumed with it! It was the work of an incindiary, who exchanged the horse he had ridden, for one in the stable. The one he left was so little burned that it was discovered to be a stranger, and they were consequently enabled to pursue the incindiary, by knowing the horse upon which he had escaped. He was arrested at Leo C________ .

The Coffin Inn, located between Route 8 and Newport on the North Gage Road, was a stage coach stopping place.

HARDSHIP CONCEALS ROMANCE

ALGERNON FARR WAS PIONEER HERO

LIFE STORY OF FARMER, STOCK RAISER AND BANKER OFFERS INSPIRATION TO YOUTHOF SANGAMON COUNTY

AUCTION OF FERTILE LAND RECALLS HISTORY OF YANKEE BOY WHO DRIFTEDWESTWARD AND GREW VERY RICH

By Hazel Bloom

The other day hundreds of men and women crowded about an auctioneer atthe door of the Sangamon County Courthouse while 711 acres of the finestland in the country were being sold. This was a portion of the estate ofa man who, when a boy, worked as a farm hand, who knew hardships andprivation, but whose persistency, good judgment and close application ledhim to prove the gold in the farms of Illinois.

The romance of the West with its glorious opportunities for advancementand for wealth has often been pictured in fiction, but no story exceedsthe self sacrifice, the heroic effort and the final fruitage thatcharacterized the life of the late Algernon Farr of Sangamon County.

Mr. Farr died at the age of ninety years. Not long ago his wife died, andno direct descendent remained to enjoy the store of riches.

The proceeds of the 711-acre farm will be divided among the distant heirswho are Ottille M. Merrick, Frank M. Mead, Ernestine F. Anderson, HenryW. Rowley, Elizabeth B. Hollom, John H. Roberts and Theodore C. Reichert.The farm was sold for $85,700. But the wealth of the man who was once apoor farm boy amounts to over $400,000.

Prominent Stock Raiser

Mr. Farr was not only a large land owner but one of the most prominentstock raisers in Sangamon County, and was a big stock holder in theIllinois National Bank at the time of his death.

The life story of Farr would serve well as an inspiration to youngpeople. Moreover it shows the boundless prosperity of the great prairiesof the middle west.

(Chunk of newsprint missing out of next 6-line paragraph, making itindecipherable.)

He was born upon a farm in St. Lawrence County, New York, February 12,1820. His father, James Farr, a native of New Hampshire, was born in1785, and after reaching mature years, wedded Miss Elsen of St. LawrenceCounty, New York, who was born in Ireland and who came to the UnitedStates in early girlhood. The couple began their life in St. LawrenceCounty, where they reared their family and spent their remaining days.

But Algernon Farr was of an adventurous disposition. The daily round of asmall farm, broken only by three months of school each year, was too tamefor his ambitious nature.

At night he dreamed dreams of the great west of which he had heard. Theboundless prairies that gave forth its showers of grain that were coinedrapidly into gold beckoned to him.

Started Out At 19 Years

At this time, though but nineteen years of age, Farr was handlinglivestock, which he purchased and drove from St. Lawrence to DutchessCounty where he sold. Wishing better opportunities for engaging in thisbusiness, the next year he made his way to Ohio.

In spite of his extreme youth he had saved some money. With this hepurchased cattle and with men much older than himself, he engagedregularly in the business of driving cattle over the mountains to market.

Gradually he made his way westward until he found himself in Illinois,the great heart of the prairie land.

Farr had been gathering up small herds of stock as he came westward, andthese he drove from time to time to the markets of New York. These trips,which oftentimes consumed three and four months, were filled withhardships and often actual physical dangers.

On these long trips he braved the elements. Privation and hardship didnot break his vigorous health. He continued actively in the business ofdriving cattle to the eastern markets until 1851. In the spring of 1850,Mr. Farr came to Sangamon County and made his headquarters inSpringfield. In 1851-53 railroad building was undertaken in Illinois,Indiana and Ohio.

It was in this latter year that Farr drove cattle to Michigan City,Indiana, whence they were shipped by lake to Dunkirk, New York, thatbeing the first cattle shipped by lake from that point. At Dunkirk theywere loaded on the Erie Railroad. They were the first cattle shipped byrailroad into New York City.

His Business Grew

It was there that the work of Algernon Farr began to grow and expand. Hislife is indicative of what can be accomplished when one is not afraid ofwork and will exercise energy, discrimination and close application inbusiness.

He spent a period of twenty-five years in the business of shipping cattleto the New York markets. In the meantime he purchased a farm of 720 acresnear the town of Mechanicsburg. This land he devoted to the raising ofgrass and corn. Later he sold this property and purchased about 320acres, two and one-half miles northeast of Springfield. This was part ofthe 711 acre farm lying between Springfield and Camp Butler, which wasrecently sold at auction.

From time to time Farr added farm land to this first purchase. On thisfarm he continued the work of feeding stock and for awhile engaged instock breeding. He prospered rapidly and at one time owned over fifteenhundred acres of the richest farm land in Illinois. The greater portionof this land was underlaid with a vein of coal from five to six feet inthickness.

Mr. Farr, while economical, enjoyed the comforts of life as his wealthincreased. His buildings were all commodious and comfortable and hisresidence, erected in 1878, was kept an attractive and substantialfashion.

Sweetheart Cherished

While he made few close friends, those that he had were lasting. When hecame west to seek his fortune, the memory of his sweetheart in New YorkState did not die. In 1851, Mr. Farr married Ardelia Hart, of HerkimerCounty, New York, who was born and reared in Oneida County. He surroundedhis wife with comforts and protected her from the hardships he hadsuffered in his early youth.

Mr. Farr was one of the organizers and first directors of the IllinoisNational Bank, and until the time of his death was a daily visitor.

Farr's genius for making money was a family joke when he was a young boy.Mrs. Elizabeth B. Hollom, a niece of the late Mrs. Farr, who now makesher home on the Farr farm, recalls an incident of this nature:

"They used to tell us children a story about Uncle Farr," said Mrs.Hollom. "When he was a young lad, he took a wagon load of wagon spokesoverland to New York City, sold them, and bought dried apples. Then hesold the fruit again and came home with so much money that he wasjokingly asked if he did not hold up people on the road and rob them."

Relatives and friends who knew Farr say he was extremely fastidious indress. No matter how hard and long he worked, he was always neat in hisappearance.

His bride was a widow, attractive and considered very pretty and astylish dresser. When he brought her to Springfield, they lived atJohnson's Hotel for awhile, where Abraham Lincoln roomed.

Matrons Were Envious

Here Mrs. Farr was the envy of all the matrons and maids in Springfieldbecause of her beauty and taste in dress. It is said that no matter howclose Mr. Farr was about business matters, he was lavish in his home andenjoyed showering upon his wife beautiful clothes.

While the Farrs never had children of their own, nephews and nieces ofthe couple visited them frequently and were always treated generously.

"I remember it was considered quite an event when Uncle and Aunt Farrcame to see us," said Mrs. Hollom. "Even in his younger days he wasconsidered very wealthy."

From discourse delivered at the funeral of John C. Coffing, by Adam Reid, 21 Sep 1847
John C. Coffing was born in Southbury, New Haven County, Conn., Oct. 6, 1776. In the third year of his age he removed with his mother to Salisbury, where he remained till the spring of 1789, when he went to Derby, and lived till the autumn of 1795, with Messrs. Judson & Nathan Stiles, at the place now known as Humphreysville, as clerk in a dry goods store owned by them there. He then left Derby, and took a trip to Nova Scotia during the winter, and was at sea, and narrowly escaped shipwreck during the memorable storm of the 16th of March, 1796, which is frequently spoken of by aged people to this day. Early in April he returned to Salisbury, being then in the 20th year of his age, and continued to reside here until his death. After managing the farm of his mother for a few years, he turned his attention to the manufacture of iron, and entered into company in the year 1808 or 9, with the late John M. Holley, Esq., with whom he carried on the business for nearly thirty years with so much enterprise and success, as not only realised a large estate for them, but rendered their establishment one of the most celebrated in the land. Mr. Coffing continued in the iron business till his death, which took place on Sabbath, the 19th of September, about 9 o'clock in the morning.

General Notes: Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Bershire County, Massachusetts
John H. Coffing
A strong man and of the type whose monuments are great thriving industries, was he whose name introduces these memoirs. Like many other of the descendents of those rugged English colonists who sought an early opportunity to escape a tyrannous home rule, including religous persecution, and who eventually revolted against a slavish colonial dependence, John H. Coffing proved to be a man of progress equal to the duty of the hour, a leader among his fellowmen, a man of ideas, and with the full courage of his convictions always.
Tristram Coffin, the Englishman who founded the American family of Coffin (here Coffing - the terminal letter having been affixed by the father of the immediate subject of these memoirs), was located in the Island of Nantucket as its records show as early as 1660, and his rude habitation erected in 1686 still stands, a most interesting memorial of old colonial days.
John H. Coffing was born at Salisbury, Connecticut, February 3, 1811. His father, Captain John C. Coffing, had an interest in the iron manufacturing of that locality, and conducted also a general store. The son received for the period an unusually liberal education, attending the famous Vermont Military School conducted by Captain Alden Partridge, then entering Westfield (Massachusetts) Academy and being latterly under tuition of Dr. Mark Hopkins. His earliest employment was in his father's store at Salisbury, and it was there that he had early opportunity to familiarize himself with many of the details of iron manufacturing. Captain John C. Coffing having sold out his Connecticut interests and located in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, was largely instrumental in the erection in 1829 of the iron furnace at Richmond, and in 1833-4, with others, built the furnace for pig-iron manufacturing at Van Deusenville. With the operation of this latter plant the son became in 1836 actively identified. In 1844, upon the incorporation of the Richmond Iron Works, uniting the Richmond and Van Deusenville iron manufacturing interests, John H. Coffing became the manager and business agent of the company, a connection which continued up to his practical retirement from active business life in 1867. It was largely through his personal technical knowledge of iron manufacture that the product of the Richmond Iron Works was soon of the highest standard of excellence, and it was in large measure due to his business acumen that it speedily attained that reputation, finding favor with the United States government and being extensively used thereby, after the most heroic tests in the manufacture of cannon. Mr. Coffing was essentially a builder. Having established with his associates upon the firmest of foundations the iron making interests above referred to, he sought other fields for investment. He became a stockholder in the Monument Mills, still and for many years the great industry of Housatonic. He interested himself actively also in the promotion of the local railroad interests, particularly the Stockbridge & Pittsfield and Berkshire Railroads, serving for a number of years as president of the latter. He was on the directorates of the Mechanics and Savings bank of Great Barrington, and the Housatonic National Bank, Stockbridge.
His public spirit was evinced in many ways. It was he who furnished the model of the Soldier's Monument, Great Barrington, and he contributed largely to the cost of its erection. He defrayed a large share of the expense of Trinity church building at Van Deusenville. he devised a sum for the building of the House of Mercy Mortuary Chapel at Pittsfield. Politically he was originally an old line Whig, and from its formation a member of the Republican Party, serving as a delegate to the national convention which in 1860 nominated Abraham Lincoln for the presidency. His patriotism found free vent during the dark days of the rebellion when voice and purse were ever at his country's service. A life-time associate of Mr. Coffing pays this tribute to his old friend: "In matters of business Mr. Coffing exercised sound judgement and great foresight, weighing carefully the subject presented, expressing his views with originality and clearness and acting promptly and efficiently. Open and frank, proverbially truthful and honest himself he would brook no duplicity or deceit in others. With more than ordinary mechanical skill, he combined good taste and an appreciation of the beautiful: he did well what he did; built well what he built, always with an eye to usefulness and durability, and benevolent and generous in his public contributions, he was ever ready to assist in a worthy object. His private gifts to the needy were numerous, unostentatious - ofter unsolicited. Many younf men have profited by his counsel and many have received from him substantial pecuniary aid." His declining years were spent improving his farm and beautifying his home at Van Deusenville, where he died August 14, 1882. He married, February 27, 1833, Rebecca F. Bostwick, of Salisbury. She died October 16, 1903.

John married Rebecca Fish Bostwick, daughter of Rufus Hubbell Smith Bostwick and Elizabeth Birch, on 27 Feb 1833 in Salisbury, Litchfield, Connecticut. Rebecca was born on 20 Mar 1815 in New York and died on 16 Oct 1903.

Fourth Generation

22. Henderson W. Coffin was born on 29 Sep 1813 in Newport, Herkimer, New York and died in Aug 1875 in Winnebago, Winnebago, Illinois.

General Notes: FROM Past and Present of the City of Rockford and Winnebago Co., IL, C.A. Church. Chicago: Clarke, 1905, pp 828-831:

Henderson W. COFFIN, a son of Isaac and Peggy COFFIN, was born in Newport, Herkimer County, NY, and there he spent his youth. When a young man he went to Canada, where he learned the trade of brickmaking under the direction of his brother, Horace. On leaving the Dominion he came to IL and located in Winnebago County in 1838. Here he continued in the employ of his brother for a time, but later engaged in farming on his own account. Subsequently he went to Beloit [Rock County], WI, where he established a brickyard, but previous to this time he had become the owner of land in Burritt Township, Winnebago County [IL], having entered a claim from the government. In 1860 he took up his abode thereon and after cultivating and improving the place for several years, he removed to Winnebago Township, where he purchased a tract of land that was his home until his life's labors were ended in death in May 1876. He was married in early manhood to Miss Mary H. KENEAR, who was also a native of NY. They were farming people, energetic and diligent in business affairs, and at all times commanded the esteem of those with whom they came in contact. So successful was Mr. COFFIN in his farming operations and so carefully did he invest his earnings that he was at one time the owner of more than 1,000 acres of land. In his family were 11 children.

Henderson W. COFFIN was born in Oneida County, NY, in 1813, and was married in that State to Miss Harriet KANIER of Buffalo [Erie County], NY. [This surname is given as KENEAR in the above biographies of Fletcher COFFIN.]. There they remained until the fall of 1837, when they determined to seek fame and fortune in the Far West, and with teams they made the journey to IL, which State was then but sparsely settled. Mr. COFFIN had but very little means to assist him along, and he and his thrifty and economical wife experienced many hardships and privations in getting a start. The first night he spent in Winnebago County, Mr. COFFIN purchased one half section of land, giving his only cow, which hehad driven from [New] York State, his gun, his watch, and $320 in a notefor this tract. Mr. and Mrs. COFFIN had a great struggle to deep and payfor this land but they finally obtained a government lease for all butabout 80 acres. This farm of 240 acres is now owned by their sonFletcher.

Mr. Henderson W. COFFIN was a brick maker by trade, and his first brickyard was started in 1840, west of Beloit [Rock County, WI]. He subsequently purchased more land for brickyards, becoming the owner of 28 acres in Roscoe where the depot new stands, and this land is now owned by his daughter. He gave the land for the depot. He and Thomas BALDWIN, an early settler, walked from Rockford to near Beloit, carried their tools,and built a house, taking four trees standing for posts. Three days later they had finished it and were back in Rockford. Mr. COFFIN had men working for him for 50 cents a day and two meals, some walking six miles to and from their work. Many of them owned their own farms but wanted ready money. Mr. COFFIN's trade was more to him than wealth, and men of means, able to buy him out several times, worked for him at 50 cents a day. At that time men cradled grain for 25 cents an acre. Mr. COFFIN died in Aug 1875, when not quite 63 years of age. His widow is now residing in Rockford, on Morgan Street. He built the first elevator at the Roscoe depot. This worthy couple reared eleven children: Agnes, Julia M., S. B. (our subject), Esther, William Henry, Horace A., Fletcher, Mary Jane, E. B., Alfred H., and Ruby H. Of these, Horace died at the age of 40 years, and Mary Jane, Mrs. W. B. SCOTT, died when 36 years of age. The remainder are living and well informed people, although they had but common school advantages.

The Daily Reporter of Whilte Plains, April 11, paid the following tribute to Miss Nettie Coffin, whose death was noted in our columns last week:
"Throughout her career as a teacher here, Miss Coffin was assigned to the fourth grade at the Court Street School, where she made her influence felt by hundreds of men and women who attended her class. Superintendent of Schools Dr. H. Claude Hardy described her today as 'one of the most poular teachers we have ever had.'

"In 1922 the board of education passed a resolution, accepting her resignation from the public school system, and recording an expression of'appreciation of her valuable service rendered to the people of this community.'"

A personal tribute sent to Mrs. R. L. Sisson says "we all wish to pay a loving tribute to the years of faithful, loyal, successful teaching spent in White Plains. We purposely use the word 'successful', for her former pupils are today a testimony, and we hear it over and over.

28. Ann Eliza Coffin was born on 17 Oct 1815, died on 9 Nov 1895 in New York, and was buried in North Gage Cemetery, Deerfield, Oneida, New York.

General Notes: There is a record of a marriage between a Hopestill Bradford of Newport and Ann Eliza Coffin of Deerfield on 28 Jan 1836. It is likely that this is the Ann Eliza Coffin referred to. On 24 Jan 1843 there was a marriage between a Hopestill Bradford and Rebecca Luther, and we know that this Ann Eliza married Thomas Wait some time before 1842. If this is the same Hopestill Bradford and the same Ann Eliza Coffin, then they must have divorced between 1836 and 1842. It does not appear that there was any children between Hopestill Bradford and Ann Eliza Coffin.

He was also engaged in hotel work, being employed at the Edwards Hotel before he moved to Hailesboro where he conducted the hotel for about two years.
Mr. Coffin, in addition to his ability as cheesemaker and hotel man established an enviable reputation as an amateur actor, and his rendition of the part of the rube farmer was of a very high order. It was often stated that had he followed the theatrical line, he would have ranked among the best.
He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Clara Beardslee and his second wife, Miss Melissa Bartlett. The latter survives, but the couple having separated, her present address is unknown. Other survivors are two sisters, Mrs. Emma Burgess of this village and Mrs. Bert Balmat of Massena; also one brother, Frank Coffin of Massena.

Mr. Henry Coffin changed the state he has been living in for some time very suddenly last week, and has taken up the state of matrimony with Miss Clara Beardslee of Hailesboro. We wish Henry and Clara much joy in their wedded life.

The Free Press, Wednesday, May 8, 1901
Hailesboro, May 7, 1901 - A large and amiable audience filled Rich's hall Friday evening to witness the entertainment given by the "Strolling" players of local talent in the production of Charles Townsend's laughable three act comedy entitled "A Family Affair"...
...Henry Coffin, as Jobson, made a decided hit. Mr Coffin had been seen before in heavier parts but never in the guise of a "low-comedy" character. His slow, droll awkwardness of speech and action combined with his "thick-headedness" created roars of laughter. His impersonation of a female character was the climax in his excellent presentation of Jobson although his loyalty to Dan was a feature. Mr Coffin was a very clever amateur and would make his mark in theatrical efforts.

Henry married Clara Beardslee in Jul 1878 in Saint Lawrence County, New York. Clara died in Aug 1896.

Henry next married Elizabeth Melissa Bartlett on 5 Dec 1901. Elizabeth was born about 1876 in Canada.

General Notes: ALAMEDA MERCHANT COMMITS SUICIDE
C. H. Coffin, in Poor Health, Ends His Life
A man believed to have been C. H. Coffin, aged 56, a merchant of Alameda, living at 2305 Clinton Avenue, committed suicide sometime last night or early this morning in an apartment house conducted by Mrs. E. Freund at 2237 Grove Street, by inhaling gas and drinking a small vial containing acetonite. Poor health is ascribed as the cause for the deed.
Coffin disappeared under mysterious circumstances Wednesday morning. He left his home with the intention of opening his place of business at 1243 Park Street. However, when a few hours later Mrs. Coffin visited the store, she found that it had not been opened and that her husband had not been seen in the vicinity. This did not disturb her, however, it being her belief that her husband had gone to San Francisco to transact some business. It was not until late in the evening that Mrs. Coffin became apprehensive and notified the police of her husband's absence.
Late today the odor of escaping gas attracted Mrs. Freund to the room occupied by Coffin.
Coffin rented the room from Mrs. Freund yesterday. He explained that he would need it two days only and gave a five dollar gold piece from which the rent was conducted.

HISTORY OF HERKIMER COUNTY - GEORGE ANSON HARDIN, pp 28-29
Coffin, E. J., Little Falls, attorney-at-law, was born in Herkimer, of English and Irish parentage, in 1847. He received his education at Whitestown Academy. After graduation he took a short course in engineering, and in this capacity assisted in the Morristown extension of the Utica and Black River Railroad. After the completion of this road he entered the law office of Hon. A. M. Mills of Herkimer. He was admitted to the bar June 13, 1879. He then entered the law office of Judge Hardin, justice of the Supreme Court, with whom he remained three years, since which time he has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession. He has served one term as corporation attorney of the village of Little Falls.

Utica Weekly Herald, Tuesday, March 31, 1896
Little Falls, March 25 - Edward J. Coffin died early this morning at Smalls Bush, three miles from this city. Death came very suddenly. Mr. Coffin was a prominent attorney, and a veteran of the war for the Union. He was about 50 years old.

Utica Daily Press, Thursday, Mar 26, 1896
Little Falls, March 25 - Many people in Little Falls will be surprised and pained to learn of the death of E.J. Coffin, which occurred at 9:15 this evening at his home in Small's Bush. Mr. Coffin came to Little Falls about 15 years ago, from Cold Brook, in the northern part of the county, and became a law student in the office of Mills and palmer, and subsequently established himself as a lawyer in the Feeler block, where he continued to practice his profession until burned out two or three years ago. He then leased an office in the Journal and Currier block, which he retained at the time of his death. Mr. Coffin was a man of good attainments, not only in law, but in various branches of learning. He was companionable, though a student by nature, and was making his way rapidly to the head of the legal profession, when a fondness for drink overmastered him and the career that opened so auspiciously became shrouded and darkened, until apoplexy, superinduced by alcoholism, ended his days in what should have been the prime of a useful and brilliant manhood. He was about 45 years of age.
Mr. Coffin was corporation attorney for the village of Little Falls some seven years ago, when the now noted Boyer water suit was instituted against the village. Mr. Coffin defended the interests of the corporation in court during these years, lately in conjuction with J.D. Beckwith, one of his successors in office, and in this, as in other cases, gave proof of abilities of high order. His forte, however, was the patent laws and business connected with patents, to which his inventive genius and knowledge of the mechanical sciences inclined him. He produced a few patents of his own, among them one that promised to come into general use. It was an ingenious devise for ringing an alarm when pressure from steam boilers passed a certain limit.
Mr. Coffin lived with his wife at Small's Bush, a settlement a few miles west of the city, and came daily to town - though lately at irregular intervals - to transact business. Despite his weakness Edwin J. Coffin was without an enemy, so far as known, except as he was such in his own person.

Edward married Sarah L. Bucklin, daughter of William Bucklin and Sarah Small. Sarah was born in Oct 1850 in Small's Bush, Herkimer, New York, died on 17 Nov 1939 in Mohawk, Herkimer, New York, and was buried in Church Street Cemetery, Little Falls, Herkimer, New York.

Mrs. Edith Quackenbush Recalls Prospect in the Old Days
... She was born in Trenton on Oct. 11, 1887. That means she'll be 93 years old later this year.
Mrs. Quackenbush's parents, Miss Mary Muller of Germany and Andrew Aulbach of Bavaria, came to the United States in 1882. Miss Muller was a nurse and Aulbach worked in a match factory. They were married in 1884.
Three years later Edith was born. At the age of 6 months, she moved in with Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Coffin, who lived across the street from her parents. The Coffins had a daughter, Cora, who died at the age of 18. Their son, Dr. Almond Coffin, the doctor who brought Edith into the world, had died suddenly.
Mrs. Coffin was grief-stricken, and used to go across the street and borrow Edith for company. When edith's parents moved to Vernon, Mrs. Coffin, who soon became known as Grandma Coffin, begged her parents to let Edith stay with her and her husband.
"After that, I spent some time with my parents, but for the most part I lived with the Coffins", Mrs. Quackenbush said. "When it came time for me to attend school, it was decided that I had to stay at one place and spend my vacations at the other.
"When my parents moved to Utica, it was decided that I should attend the city school. But I didn't like the Utica school so my parents decided to send me to live with the Coffins and attend the country school in Trenton. I didn't start school until i was seven, and had to walk 2 1/2 miles to the Toad Hollow School. I was placed in the second grade and Grandma Coffin tutored me. After school, I milked the cows, and fed the chickens, calves, and pigs on the Coffin's farm," Mrs. Quackenbush said.
"The Coffins sold the farm in 1900 and we moved to Prospect, where I have since resided. After we came to Prospect, I was busy helping care for Mr. Coffin, who I considered my grandfather, until he died in 1902. Then when Grandma Coffin died a few years later, I went to spend a few months with my parents in Utica."
On Oct. 30, 1907, Edith married Mahlon Quackenbush at her parent's home. They then returned to Prospect, where Mahlon lived. The Quackenbushes had two children....

Elisher married Harriet Helen Morey, daughter of Living and Lucy A. Tanner, on 14 Apr 1856 in Prospect, Oneida, NY. Harriet was born on 20 Jul 1831, died on 14 Aug 1907 in Oneida County, New York, and was buried in 1907 in Evergreen Cemetery, Lee, Oneida, New York.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON HOLLEY, Connecticut's 23rd governor was born in Salisbury, Connecticut, on August 12, 1804. He was educated in the public school systems in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. Holley went into his father's business, and in 1854, became president of the Holley Manufacturing Company, a position he held for life. He also served as director and president of the Salisbury Iron Bank, and he was director of the Connecticut Western Railroad. Holley served in the state militia, rising through the ranks to division inspector. He entered politics in 1844, serving as a delegate to the Whig National Convention. He was lieutenant governor of Connecticut in 1854, and was elected governor in 1857. During his tenure, the Supreme Court ruled on the Dred Scott case, with both the legislature and the governor criticizing it and citing it to Democratic pro-slavery scheming. Holley's administration also endorsed the requirement for recently naturalized citizens to wait one year before being eligible to vote. Governor Holley was not renominated, and retired from public service. He died on October 2, 1887, and is buried in the Salisbury Cemetery.

General Notes: From "The Descendents of Andrew Warner":
George Coffing was of the firm Holley and Coffing, founded by his father John Churchill Coffing and John Milton Holley. This firm made the well known Salisbury and Richmond brands of iron, which, for over one hundred years, have been quoted in the markets as irons combining tensile strength and elasticity in the highest degree. George Coffing's grandfather was Governor of Connecticut in 1756, and opened the Fitch mine in the town of Salisbury about 1762. The furnaces of Coffing and Holley made iron for the young American Navy, including the Constitution ("Old Ironsides"), and the Chesapeake; also for the War of 1812, the Greek War of 1821, the Mexican and Civil Wars. This iron was used for making the guns of the Monitor which defeated the Merrimac in the Civil War. Alexander Holley, a cousin and associate of George Coffing, aided Sir Henry Bessemer in perfecting the Bessemer Process. Mr. Holley owned the Bessemer patents for the United States and built the early Bessemer plants, at Troy, Bethlehem, Youngstown, and other places.

From the "History of Great Barrington, Massachusetts":
In 1866, George Coffing, George Church, John M. Seeley and others organized a corporation - The Wawbeck Mills - and purchased the whole of the lower priviledge, including the warp mill on the west and the saw-mill on the east side of the river. This company erected in 1866, the brick factory at the east end of the bridge, which, in connection with the mill on the east side, has since been run on cotton warps.

George Coffing was member of Connecticut State senate, 17th district, 1861. In 1871, George Coffing (Republican) lost to William Henry Bynum (Democrat), 13,766 votes to 12,576 votes, for US Represntative from Connecticut District 4.

118. James Henderson Bliss was born on 29 Oct 1838 in Jefferson County, New York, died on 4 Feb 1915 in Janesville, Rock, Wisconsin, and was buried in Oakhill Cemetery, Janesville, Rock, Wisconsin.

General Notes: JAMES H. BLISS has been a hard-working and upright man all his life, and whatever he has undertaken has been wrought with painstaking fidelity. At the very beginning of his young manhood he gave long and faithful service to the preservation of the National Union; and, while he played a humble part in the great war for liberty, it was the modest and heroic devotion to duty on his part and of millions like him that made this the golden age of the Republic. He is now somewhat advanced in life, but is still hale and hearty, and bears himself like a strong and vigorous man.
Mr. BLISS was born in Jefferson County, N.Y., Oct. 29, 1838, a son of James and Julia (COFFIN) BLISS, both natives of the State of New York. They were the parents of four children, two of whom are now living: James H. and Horace R., of Chicago. One of the deceased was named Julius. The father, who was a carpenter and cabinet maker, came to Roscoe, Ill., in the fall of 1853. Four years later he moved to Beloit, Wis., and engaged in cabinet making, and some years later he moved to Janesville and secured a position in the Northwestern shops, where he worked until a short time before his death, in 1871, at the age of fifty-six years. His wife survived him many years,and passed away in 1887. She was a Methodist. He was a soldier in the Union army, having enlisted as a member of Company E, 3d Wis. V.C., under command of Col. BRISTOW. The worst injury he received in the service was in a battle in Missouri. His father was born in England, and coming tothis country settled in New York, where he died. Isaac COFFIN, the father of Julia COFFIN, was native to the soil of New York. He had four sons and four daughters.
James H. BLISS was reared to manhood in New York, where he attended the public schools,and acquired a substantial and useful education. At the breaking out of the Civil war he was quick to respond to the call for soldiers, and, enlisting in Company F, 13th Wis. V.I., served four years and three months, proving himself a loyal and gallant defender of the flag. He was a private the greater part of the time, but before the completion of his enlistment was appointed sergeant. When he had done with war and its horrors he returned to civil life, and for a time was engaged in building bridges. He had a freight transfer wagon in Janesville, and did a teaming business in that city for fifteen years, in 1875 buying the farm of ninety-three acres on which he is now living. Three years later he left the city, and locating his family on this farm, has since devoted himself to its cultivation. Though not large, it has proved exceedingly productive.
Mr. BLISS and Miss Louis GLEAVE, a daughter of James and Alice (HOUGHTON)GLEAVE, were married Aug. 9, 1868. They had four children: Philip R., Orville J., Jay H., and Alice O. Philip R. married Lulu E. DERONSO, and lives in Oregon; they have one daughter, Alice. None of the other children are married. Orville J. is an electrician in Chicago. Jay H. is studying pharmacy in Janesville. Mrs. BLISS died May 17, 1898, at the age of fifty-four years. She was a Methodist, and a lady of many admirable qualities. Mr. BLISS is a Mason, belonging to Western Star Lodge No. 14,A.F. & A.M., and Janesville Chapter, No. 5, R.A.M., and he is also a member of W. H. Sergeant Post, No. 20, G.A.R. Politically he is a Republican. He is an honest, hard-working man, loving, quiet, and devoted to the farm on which he lives and the work before him.

Pg 82: "The new town was called Lead City and two officers were elected- Robert Charles "Smokey" Jones as secretary and James D. Coffin as city recorder. No other officers were chosen since the miners, inasmuch as any civic acts would be without legal status, thought it would be better to let local unwritten mining laws govern disputes."

"City of Lead, 1876 to 1981" by Jeanette Larson, Page 580
The city of Lead was founded July 11, 1876. Gold had been found in placer deposits all along Bobtail and Gold Run creeks and their branches. There was a great rush to the Gulch from miners and prospectors from other camps in the area, and among the claims staked was the Homestake discovered by Fred and Manuel Moses. It was essential that a town should be started. The ground selected for the site of the new town was the present intersection of South Mill and Main Street, opposite the Open Cut. It's locators and founders were William Quigley, David Snyder, James D. Coffin, Jack Daley, John King, Robert Jones, W.P. Reddick, John Hennessey, E.W.

General Notes: http://firstmn.phpwebhosting.com/SearchResults.php3?ID=0190
Frank Mead was born on Feb 13, 1839, in Greensburg, Indiana. He came toSt Paul in 1854. In 1858 he moved to Hastings and worked as a printer forThe Hastings Independent newspaper. He lived with Charles Adams, who wasthe owner of the paper and a local physician. He was working at the paperwhen the war broke out.

Frank joined the rest of the Dakota County Volunteers on May 24, 1861, asthey were mustered in and became the nucleas of Company H of the firstMinnesota Infantry. He was 5' 9 1/2" tall, had blue eyes and brown hair.He was made a corporal in the company. However, records show he wasreduced to the ranks from corporal by court martial on Sept 20, 1861.

Being a printer by trade, he put this to use during an interestingincident occured on March 11, 1862. The regiment was on the move inVirginia. They approached the town of Berryville and after meetinglimited resistance occupied it and made camp on the its outer edge. 1stSgt James Wright, of Company F, wrote about it after the war.

"There was a paper published at this place called the 'BerryvilleConservator',and a portion of the paper had been set up before arrival,but the editor and his help had 'skedaddled' along with the soldiers. Theprinters in the regiment-among them Company F's contingent wasprominent-managed to get into the office of the 'secesh sheet,' changedthe name of the paper to that of 'The First Minnesota' and its policy toone of radical support of the Union cause. A paper was set up, struckoff, and ready for distribution before morning, when it found ready salearound the camps."

Seven men, who had been printers back in Minnesota, proudly placed theirnames on the paper. They were Ed A Stevens (Co B), Ole Nelson (Co A),Frank Mead (Co H), Thomas H Presnell (Co C), Charles S Drake (Co A),Julien Kendall (Co H) and Henry W Lindergreen (Co H). Interestinglyenough none of these seven were from Company F, as mentioned by Wright.

Frank transferred to Co B on May 17, 1862; perhaps for personal reasonsor perhaps he was a bit of a trouble maker and hard to get along with. Hewas slightly wounded at Fair Oaks. He was stricken with camp fever(malarial poisoning) during the Penninsula campaign. During a partialrecovery on July 23, 1862, he was detailed as a printer at Headquarters,Army of the Potomac, located at Harrisons Landing, Va. From all accountshe gave first rate service. Continuing to suffer from the fever and thenfrom heart disease he was eventually discharged for disability on Dec 26,1862.

During his tenure with the First he had sent back some correspondencewhich was published in local newspapers. He had used the author'smoniker, "Plebe". His friend and fellow correspondent, John Mars,described him as "fearless, independent and outspoken; a good friend andjovial".

On August 19, 1864, he enlisted as as a private in Co F of Hatch'sBattalion of Independent Cavalry. He was promoted to 2nd lieutenant onSeptember 1, 1864, and served as such until he was discharged on March 5,1866. For a third time Charles Adams and Frank Mead were together. Frankworked for and roomed with Adams in Hastings before the war. They servedtogether in the First Minnesota; Adams rising to be it's lieutenantcolonel. After the First was mustered out in 1864, Adams joined Hatch'sBattalion as it's major and may have been respondsible for Frank'spromotion to 2nd lieutenant in the unit in September.

After the war Frank had many residences; Hastings until 1866, Farmington1868-1870, Minneapolis 1872-1879, Mandan SD 1879-1886, and Minneapolis1887-1901. During this time, on August 26, 1887 he joined the George NMorgan GAR Post #4 in Minneapolis. He trasferred that membership toanother post in 1896. Later he changed residences again; New York City1901-1906, Boston 1906-?, and then back to Minneapolis. He listed hisoccupation as a veteran journalist.

Frank's first wife was Sarah Stowell. She was from a wealthy andprominent family in Hastings. They had two children, Henry S (Aug 20,1864)and Fanny E (Apr 1866). Unfortunately Frank physically abused Sarah,and she divorced him in 1870. She died in Hastings in 1886.

He married Mary Francis Rowley Oct 20, 1871, in Springfield, Ill. Theirchildren were, Marguerite (Dec 20, 1872), Frank R (June 19, 1874) &Ottilie (Jan 1, 1877).

Frank also had the distinction of shooting a friend to death in St. Paulduring a drunken agrument. On Sept 7, 1886 he was staying at theMerchant's Hotel in St Paul, where Frank met Allen Farnsworth, an oldfriend from Mandan and from their days together in Hatch's Battalion.Mead had been a comrade of Allen's brother, Jerome, in the FirstMinnesota. Jerome had been killed at Gettysburg. Mead was back in St Paulafter financial failures in Mandan. He had been drinking heavily beforemeeting Farnsworth. They went out together and when they returned Meadturned angry and began shouting at him. Then in a drunken rage he pulledout a .38 cal Smith and Wesson and shot Farsworth in the stomach.Farnsworth fell crying, "I can't believe it, shot by my best friend. Whatwill become of my little ones?" He died a day later. Mead was acquittedof murder; perhaps by Masonic friends.

The picture above probably dates from July, August or September, 1861,just before he was reduced from the rank of corporal back to private. Theregiment got their blue uniforms after the battle of Bull Run whichoccurred in June, hence the later dating of his four month tenure as acorporal. To dress up when he had his picture taken he added a bow tie tohis nine button frock coat and military vest. There is a tax stamp on theback of the image which would date the print from between 1864 and 1866.It may be a copy of a previously made image.

Frank died in Minneapolis on Nov 29, 1908, at the Swedish Hospital on 8thand Chicago Ave S. The cause of death was listed as Uremia. He was buriedat the Corinthian Cemetery in Farmington. He was 69 years old.

Colonel Henry Ward Rowley

Henry Ward Rowley was born 1 October 1858 in Newport, Oneida County, NY,son of Nelson Burr Rowley (NY) and Abigail Coffin (NY). He lived thereuntil age nine, when his parents moved to Minnesota and settled into theFarmington area, near St. Paul. There he attended the public schools, andlater attended and graduated with an engineering degree from theMinnesota University. At age 22, in 1879, he was employed by the NorthernPacific Railroad to assist in the construction of line passing throughthe Dakota Territory. He quickly rose to the position of Chief Engineerand for two years successfully managed the construction of the line.Seeing an opportunity for great personal achievement, he left therailroad in the spring of 1882 to become an engineer for the newly formedMinnesota and Montana Land and Improvement Company, which established thetownsite of Billings while controlling nearly all the land in the valleywest of Billings. He had a remarkably successful life while still lessthan 30 years of age. He was a civic leader, owner of important realestate, and engineer of some of the most extensive irrigation projects inthe area, a banker, city official, school trustee, sportsman and socialleader. He possessed a strong personality, gracious and aristocraticbearing, and when he stepped off in Billings he immediately became one ofits leading citizens. This was not by accident or happen chance, but bywell managed design.

In 1876 the general land surveys for the local region had finally reachedClark’s Fork Valley (Yellowstone County area), and a plat map for futurehomesteaders was created. This was made available to the settlers byApril 1877 [March?][1]. When the Indian wars were essentially concludedin 1878, the Northern Pacific Railroad started to lay track after a fewyears delay. The railroad was placed under closely guarded financialcontrols, and construction cost was limited to $25,000 per mile. At thattime, when Rowley was in charge, the planned route was clearlyestablished and shown to be from Bismarck essentially due west to theYellowstone River, crossing the river near Miles City, and following theriver on the north side into the west leading towards Fort Benton. Rowleystarted to examine the route again, or else it was pointed out to him,that it might be better if they stayed on the east side of the river, andcrossed in the Clark’s Fork valley area, just north of the rim bluffsbordering both sides of the river. The roadbed appeared to be equallyflat from previous detailed surveys, but in doing so he realized that itwould give him an opportunity to establish a town and freighting centerof significant size at the river where there were two adjoiningodd-numbered sections of land that centered about the recently completedMontana Prime Survey Meridian. What happened next is partiallyconjectured, but mostly fact. Henry examined the land soon after joiningthe railroad, finding that he could indeed place a town there. This wouldbe a major undertaking, and it would be necessary to keep the concept andlocation secret until he was ready to make the announcement. He presentedhis plan to the railroad’s financial eastern bankers, and it was probablythe best news they had received ever since construction began. It lookedlike a sure winner. To make this work three things would be required: 1)The land plat or its counterpart would be created in secrecy at MilesCity, and presented to the banks soon as possible, probably in late 1880,and they would remain silent about the transaction. 2) A director wouldbe needed to manage the creation of the town, sell lots, advertise andotherwise manage the whole activity. For this, Rowley would step down asChief Engineer and take over the operation at the appropriate time. Thuswas formed the Minnesota and Montana Land and Development Company,established in Minnesota. 3) Financial backing for the town creationwould be needed, and additional land had to be acquired in secrecy sothat its ultimate purpose of providing potential financial growth to hiscompanions would go undetected. To accomplish this Rowley apparentlysolicited Frederick Billings as the major financial backer, Austin Northand Fred H. Foster to acquire additional land to be made available fortown expansion. Fred Foster, being young and without resources, solicitedhis parents, Robert & Lucinda (creators of Foster’s Addition) to bankrollthe activity. Their trade of real estate and transfer of property rightswere uniquely accomplished before the town was announced. [Special filesare available for interested persons]. See YGF Webmaster. There are nowritten documents describing the actual insider’s activity effort, butthe facts disclosed in property title transfers of North and Fosterconfirm the action. The land acquisitions simply could not have been arandom chance of good luck. When the Billings’ land area officially wenton sale, many persons who were first in line expecting to receive choicelots felt cheated when they discovered that these were already sold toeastern investors and others. Before 1881 had ended, many of the town’slots were already sold or committed, and the residents of Coulson whowere hoping to make an investment harvest were never really in thefinancial loop, and that town subsequently vanished. The first land platfor the city was created in Miles City and publicly filed in Minnesota.Frederick Billings graciously offered to accept the naming of the townafter him. Austin and Robert helped secure the open land to the westbefore the general public was made aware of the town’s identity and therevised route of the rail track. [Details of some transactions are notedin the Foster and North bios files.]

On May 8, 1883 he married his schoolmate, Harriet Maria Meeker, inBillings. Harriet’s parents were: Lewis Meeker (NY), and Marion Welsh(NY). Harriet was born September 26, 1860 in Fort Ann, NY, and died inBillings June 26, 1943. One of the major undertakings was to constructsufficient water supply to the town and local area. This was known as theBig Ditch. In 1885 he organized the Billings Water Power Company, andconducted the initial work to construct the improved water works andelectric plant centered in the former town of Coulson. He was theelectric plant manager until it’s sale in 1908. In 1915 the waterworkswere sold to the city. To start the electric system he initially procureda large crane with a shovel and dug a canal leading from the YellowstoneRiver northward for about two miles to the plant’s location on PerryMcAdow’s land (Josephine Park area). The canal’s headrace was 70 feetwide and 15 feet deep (depicted on the 1903 Billings’ City map). At theend of the race way he had a pond, and placed a large float about 30 feetsquare onto it, and placed a coal-fired steam engine there to run adynamo turbine to produce electricity. Soon afterwards he merged hisinterests with AL Babcock and Herman Mund and constructed a brick pumphouse on the site. In this new housing structure he placed the equipmentneeded to produce both water and electricity for the city. All trenchesfor the various ditches had to be dug by hand[2].

He was also a promoter and organizer of the Billings Land and IrrigationCompany. He held interests in the Northern Hotel, Mercantile NationalBank, and others in both Montana and Seattle. He held large parcels ofland within the area, and was associated with the development of theSugar Factory, Chamber of Commerce, the Street Car Company, Civic Club,and Country Club. He was a major influence in getting important civicprojects accomplished.

MORSE H. COFFIN, one of the most prominent agriculturists of Weld Countyand one of the early pioneers, resides three miles east of Longmont. Amember of an ancient English family, he descends from the Coffeen (as thename was then spelled) family that came from the Netherlands with Williamthe Conqueror in the eleventh century. The head of the family wasknighted by the king and was given a grant of land in Alwington County,near Land's End, which was then named Coffeen County. At the present timethe eldest member of the family sits in the house of lords. TristramCoffeen came to America in 1542 and settled near Haverhill, Mass., wherehe became very influential in local affairs, serving as sheriff and innumerous other positions of trust. Letters written by him are onexhibition in the state house of New York.

One of the sons of Tristram settled on Nantucket Island, wherenumerous descendants still reside. Another son went up the Hudson Riverand settled near Albany, founding the branch of which our subject is amember. Edward Coffin (supposed to be our subject's great-grandfather orhis brother) was a member of the colonial army during the Revolution, andone of his powder horns is a prized souvenir, now in the possession ofour subject. Isaac Coffin, our subject's grandfather, was born atFishkill, N. Y., in 1773, and was a farmer and hotel keeper throughouthis active life; he died February 9, 1839.

Jacob Coffin, father of our subject, was born in Bethlehem, AlbanyCounty, N. Y., in 1800, and in youth learned the trade of a blacksmith,which he followed in connection with farming. In 1843, however, he movedwest to Illinois and settled near Belvidere, Boone County, where heafterward devoted his entire attention to agriculture. He was a faithfulmember of the Methodist Episcopal Church and for many years held theoffice of class leader, also served as superintendent of theSunday-school. His death occurred at DeKalb, DeKalb County, in 1876, andhe was buried in Boone County.

The subject of this sketch, a son of Jacob and Mary A. (Hull)Coffin, was born in Roxbury, Delaware County, N. Y., September 20, 1836.In 1845 he removed with his parents to Boone County, Ill., where hisfather was a pioneer agriculturist. There during the summer months oursubject assisted his father on the farm, while in the winter he attendedthe district school, acquiring a limited education. At the age oftwenty-one he began for himself as a farmer, being given entire charge ofhis father's farm. In 1859, with two friends, he started across theplains, with three teams of oxen and a wagon, also with $40 in money anda shotgun, which articles, together with his clothes, constituted hisentire worldly possessions. Leaving Illinois May 5, they arrived inBoulder July 18. On their westward journey they met many emigrantsreturning and all gave a very gloomy picture of Colorado. All thesereports had their effect on the men. By the time they had reached theMissouri River, their decision had been made to outfit and continue theirjourney to Oregon or California. However, on their arrival at FortLaramie, two days after Horace Greeley had made his famous trip to thestate, they heard his version of the country, and it decided them intheir course, they stopped in Colorado, where Mr. Coffin secured workwith Low, Goss & Pell. He whip-sawed lumber until he had paid anobligation to R. S. Low, a member of the firm. Afterward he continued inthe same work during the fall and winter, whip-sawing lumber for thefirst frame house built (by H. C. Norton) in Boulder County.

Coming to Weld County in the spring of 1860, Mr. Coffin took up onehundred and sixty acres on the St. Vrain, three miles east of Longmont,where he settled and began the improvement of a farm. By subsequentpurchase he became the owner of three hundred and sixty acres,constituting his present farm. During the late war he enlisted in CompanyD, Third Colorado Volunteer Cavalry, and is now a member of McPhersonPost No. 6, G. A. R., of which he is commander.

The marriage of Mr. Coffin united him with Miss Julia A. M. Dunbar,a native of Otsego County, N. Y. She is a daughter of Andrew B. Dunbar,who was born in Massachusetts and from there, in middle life, removed toNew York, where he was engaged in business as a merchant, butcher andfarmer. Five children were born to the union of Mr. and Mrs. Coffin, andof these four are now living. Geneva, the eldest of the family, is agraduate of the State University at Boulder and has been successful as ateacher in the high school of Deadwood, S. Dak., and Glenwood Springs,Colo. Merton D. has been engaged in the fruit-growing business in De SotoCounty, Fla. Adelbert B. assists his brother in the management of hisfather's farm. Morse H. Jr., is deceased. Julia Etta is attending theLongmont high school, preparatory to a course in the State University.

OBITUARY - LONGMONT LEDGER, 26 JAN 1906
COFFIN - At the hospital, Longmont, Thursday, January 25, 1906, George W.Coffin, aged 67 years, 10 months and 29 days.
George W. Coffin met with a fatal injury at his ranch east of Longmontabout five miles. The case is surrounded with mystery, and it looks nowas though it would always remain so. It occurred on Saturday, January20th, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Mr. Coffin was hauling manure Saturday morning, and the family of AlvaSaunders, the tenant, noticed in the afternoon that he did not come outas was expected, and in fact was not to be seen. Mrs. Saunders went tothe little house which Mr. Coffin had erected for his own use, and beingtimid, went back with the report that there was blood on the doorknob.Investigation resulted in finding Mr. Coffin in bed, undressed, his headin a pool of blood. He had evidently tried to wash himself, or what somethink more likely, some one unknown tried to wash him then left. If thelatter is the case it was the man who did the deed. Two blows on theback of the head crushed the skull, one injury on the left side near thetemple, and another dislocated the jaw. He had bled considerably fromthe nose and mouth.
Mrs. Saunders had also noticed that the horses were running at large withtheir harness on, and she did not understand it.
The ambulance was sent for, and Mr. Coffin was taken to the Longmonthospital, where he was cared for, but no hope was given by the surgeonsthat he could recover.
Telephone messages were sent to Sheriff Florence of Weld County andSheriff Bartell of Boulder County. These officers, together withrelatives and friends, have made repeated investigations of the premises,but cannot arrive at any certain conclusion. Mr. Saunders was inLongmont Saturday afternoon and his family can tell nothing. His houseis about 150 feet from that of Mr. Coffin. His injury was supposed tohave been received at the wagon where he was at work, and on which wasfound some blood, and also a pool of blood near it. A king bolt was alsofound with stains of blood upon it, leading the officers to think that asthe nature of the wounds on the back of the head would be made by somesuch instrument, that that was the thing. As we understand it, Mr.Coffin must have gone through a barb wire fence or around the house ofthe Saunders family, and then took off his clothes and went to bed.These actions do not seem possible to one in his condition.
Some think it all a mysterious accident, others that someone struck theblows. Besides there were papers found which had been in Mr. Coffin'spocket book, but the pocket book was gone, which makes it plain thatrobbery was the motive. If so, the thief did not get anything, unless itwas some small change. Mr. Coffin had sold some hay the day previous,but had applied the amount received on a debt.
He was unconscious most of the time after he was found, but at times knewthe members of his family. As to the injuries he had received he had noknowledge, though once in answer to a question from his brother Morse hereplied, "he went through the fence and down the road," referring to theman who had hit him. This was all that he could tell.
The family was very much scattered, Mrs. Coffin and daughter Edna were inLong Beach, Cal, and a telegram was at once sent to bring them home.Will was four miles from Eldora, and George at Caribou; Louis in thestate of Washington and Mark in Idaho. Will and George arrived Sundaymorning and sent telegrams to the other brothers, and received repliesthat they were coming.
George W. Coffin was born in Roxbury, Delaware, New York, February 24,1838, and with the family went to Buffalo by way of the Erie Canal. Hespent some time at Belvidere, Ill., and came to Colorado in 1860, andonly went back to the "states" as he needed goods, for there were nostores to speak of in Colorado at that time. He took up his homesteadsome six miles east of Longmont, on the St. Vrain, which he farmed eitherpersonally or by tenant ever since, and it was on the farm that he wasinjured.
He married Emily Ainsworth in 1863, which union resulted in four sons andtwo daughters, all of whom are living.
When the war broke out and Indian trouble commenced, he took care of theranches of his brothers when they went into the war. He has seen all the"ups and downs" of a pioneer in Colorado. He has of recent years beeninterested in mining, and two of his sons, Will and George, are followingthe lead.
He was a member of the State Constitutional Convention in 1864 or 5, butthe constitution was not adopted; was collector or Treasurer of WeldCounty in 1865-1866; elected County Judge of Weld County about 1866 (thisdate is not certain), but either did not serve or served but a shorttime.
He was a member of the congressional church, as well as the A.O.U.W. Hewas one of the most conscientious men we have ever known. Would go outof his way at any time to do a person a favor. It was on every person'stongue when the news passed around of his injury, "Who would hurt GeorgeCoffin?" He was one of the mildest tempered men in the country.
He has served on the city council of Longmont, as well as one term asmayor, and was an extra good official, for his conscientiousness wouldnot allow him to neglect anything he though his duty. We do not believeLongmont ever had a mayor who gave up so much of his time to duties ofoffice.
He was a brother of M.H. and R.F. Coffin, Mrs. J.W. Daniels, and Mrs.Ellen C. Pennock, and half brother of Herbert L. Coffin of Greenland,Minnesota.
His wife and daughter Edna arrived Wednesday noon, and he recognized thembefore he passed away.
The family were all here except Lewis, who telegraphed that he wasdelayed by snow blockades at Spokane.

PENNOCK - At her home on Collyer street, Sunday, August 24, 1913; Mrs.Ellen Coffin Pennock, aged 72 years, 7 months and 18 days.

It has long been known by Mrs. Pennock and her relatives and friends thather time on earth would be limited, for she had a fatal trouble. As shesuffered long she expressed a wish to go, for her Christian faith wasstrong for another and a better life than this. She was an active memberof the Methodist Church for many years.

The history of a good woman's life. How little can be said at such atime as this, and much of necessity must be omitted. She was one of theearliest of the pioneer women to come to Boulder County and saw the broadopen prairie before the farms were taken up and improved. All honor tothe noble women of which Mrs. Pennock is a type, for their faithfulnessto those they loved, in making for them a home in the great west, whereit was then thought that agriculture would be exceeding limited. The menhad the excitement of the hunt, the out-door life, new experiences at thefoot of the Rockies, of which so little was then known. But the womenhad the lonesome life (at times) in the cabin with the drudgery ofhousework. But without such women as Mrs Pennock, what would the menhave done in building up their new west? The danger from the Indians waswith her in the early sixties as with the men, and she faced it bravely.We fear that we cannot do justice to the one who left us.

Ellen Coffin was born in Roxbury, Delaware County, N. Y., January 6,1841. The family moved fom New York state to Illinois in 1845, where shetaught school before coming west. In 1862 she came to Colorado acrossthe plains with Jackson and DeGrass Pennock. They were met at theMissouri river at Omaha by her brother, George Coffin, and Porter R.Pennock. Chester Pennock, now of Rowena, son of Jackson Pennock, wasthen a mere boy. She taught school in Boulder, which, of course, was avery small town in the winter of 1863. There were no railroads then westof the Missouri.

Part of the time Ellen kept house for her brothers Morse and George onthe same ranch which has been the home of Morse H. Coffin for many years,though the log cabin in which they lived was not on the spot where thepresent home stands. It was at this log cabin, attended by relatives andfriends, that Ellen Coffin and Porter R. Pennock were married by the Rev.Chas. King, May 1, 1864. Mrs. Pennock was a merry, social girl when shewas young and a great favorite.

In 1865, Mr. and Mrs. Porter R. Pennock went back to Illinois, buying afarm and remaining several years. During that time they lost two sons,aged 5 and 2 years. They returned to Longmont in 1874, for this townhad been started during their absence, and Mr. Pennock bought the farmabout two and a half miles northeast of Longmont, still known by hisname.

Porter R. Pennock passed away April 30, 1901.

Mrs. Pennock leaves one son, Dr. V. R. Pennock, and two daughters, Mrs.Carrie Sanborn and Mrs. Lou Ellen Large; two brothers, M. H. and R. F.Coffin, one half brother, Herbert Coffin of Minnesota, and two sisters,Mrs. Libbie Pattonof Illinois and Mrs. Emma Daniels of Longmont.

A very fine article concerning the pioneer life of the early sixties, waswritten by Mrs. Pennock and read by her at a meeting of the BoulderCounty Pioneer's Association about four years ago. This has beenpreserved and will soon be published. She would not consent to itspublication during her lifetime.

Funeral Services were held at the residence Tuesday afternoon by Rev. A.J. Waller.

---------------------------------------

This house was built in 1901 for Mrs. J.W. Williams. The following year,the property was sold to Mrs. Ellen Coffin Pennock who lived here untilher death in August 1913. Mrs. Pennock was among the region's earliestand most venerable pioneers. She had been born at Roxbury, DelawareCounty, New York on January 6, 1841. She moved west with her family toIllinois where she taught school, before crossing the plains to ColoradoTerritory in 1862. Other members of her party which came west includedher brother, George Coffin, Jackson and DeGrass Pennock, and Ellen'sfuture husband, Porter R. Pennock. After arriving in Boulder County,Ellen taught school in Boulder during the winter of 1862-1863. On May 1,1864, she and Porter R. Pennock were united in marriage by the ReverendCharles King. The couple then returned to Illinois where they lived until1874, when the once again came west to Colorado. The Pennocks thenestablished a farm 2½ miles northeast of Longmont where they lived untilPorter's death in April 1901. Following her husband's death, Mrs. Pennockmoved into town, acquiring this residence in August 1902. She then livedher until her death in August 1913. She was survived by a son, Dr. V.R.Pennock, and by daughters Mrs. Carrie Sanborn and Mrs. Lou Ellen Large.Mrs. Pennock is perhaps best remembered today for her fascinating diarywhich was published after her death, and which is an extremely importantprimary source relating the early pioneer days of the St. Vrain Valley.By the early 1920s, this property had become the residence of Hugh L.Large and Lou Ellen (Pennock) Large. Hugh Large had been born in Illinoisin 1872. He earned a teaching degree at the Lebanon, Illinois beforecoming west to Longmont in 1898 to teach at the Liberty Hall School. Heand Lou Ellen Pennock were married on February 1, 1903, and followingtheir marriage, they made their home in Longmont. Mr. Large served asLongmont's postmaster, and was involved in the real estate and insurancebusiness. Mr. and Mrs. Large had three daughters, including DorothyLarge, a noted local author and historian. Hugh Large passed away inOctober 1953. According to Longmont city directories, members of theLarge family resided here until the early 1960s.

Sabra married Porter Russell Pennock on 1 May 1864 in St. Vrain, Weld, Colorado. Porter was born on 15 Sep 1834 in Palmyra, Portage, Ohio, died on 30 Apr 1901 in Longmont, Boulder, Colorado, and was buried in Mountain View Cemetery, Longmont, Boulder, Colorado.

General Notes: Portrait and Biographical Record of Denver and Vicinity Colorado
Chapman Publishing Company, Chicago, 1898
PORTER R. PENNOCK is a retired farmer and respected citizen of Longmont,
Boulder County. For several years he has been a member of the board ofaldermen
of this city and is now chairman of the finance committee and of thecommittee
on building permits. He was elected on the People’s party ticket, and isvery
popular with the majority of our citizens. An ardent worker in theMethodist
Episcopal Church, he has been a trustee and steward for over twenty yearsand
has been one of the pillars in the congregation.

The paternal grandfather of our subject was of English descent,but came
from an old and honored Vermont family. He was a soldier in the war ofthe
Revolution, and his son Russell, who was the father of P. R. Pennock, wasa
drummerboy in the war of 1812. Russell Pennock was born in the GreenMountain
state and was an early settler in Ohio, where he improved a farm. Heremoved to
the vicinity of Rockford, Ill., in 1844, and owned and improved ahomestead on
Whig Hill, three miles from the town. Here he lived until he received his
summons to the better land, when he was in his sixty-third year. His wifewas
Fannie Holmes in her girlhood and was a native of New York state. Oftheir
eleven children, two only survive: Porter R., and his eldest brother,William
D., who resides with him.

The birthplace of P. R. Pennock was in Elmira, Portage County,Ohio. He
was born in 1834, and was the youngest of the family of brothers andsisters.
His education was obtained in the public schools of Ohio and Illinois,and he
continued to reside under the parental roof until he was twenty years ofage
when his father died. In 1859 he started for Pike’s Peak, going overlandby
ox-teams. He proceeded only as far as central Iowa that year, continuinghis
journey the following spring. After he had pursued the usual route alongthe
Platte River he went on to Denver, arriving in that city July 6, 1860.Thence he
went to Gilpin district, and for a short time engaged in business there.The
same autumn he took up a homestead in the St. Vrain Valley, nearBurlington, put
in ditches and began raising grain and hay. In 1864 he sold out andreturned to
the east, and for seven years resided in his old home district and inBoone and
DeKaib Counties, Ill. The attractions of Colorado proved irresistible inthe
end, however, and in 1871 he returned, and buying a farm two and a-halfmiles
east of Longmont, improved the place. Within a few years the splendidranch of
three hundred and twenty acres, with fences and good buildings,irrigation
ditches, etc., was justly considered one of the best homesteads in thissection.
The owner was one of the first to introduce Percheron-Norman horses, and
full-blooded Shorthorns. Of the fine horses he brought a car-load at onetime.

Since his second settlement in Boulder County, Mr. Pennock hasmade his

commerce he was the first to introduce into this state. He was one of the
original stockholders of the Longmont Mill and Elevator Company; theLongmont
Creamery Company, and many other local enterprises, and at present is
interested in the Longmont Reduction Works. Fraternally he belongs to the

OBITUARY - Longmont Ledger, May 3, 1901

Longmont Ledger, May 3, 1901

PENNOCK - In Longmont, Tuesday, April 30, 1901, of concussion of thebrain, Porter R. Pennock, aged 66 years, 7 months, and 15 days.

Last week we recorded the accident which resulted in the death of ourfriend and fellow citizen, P. R. Pennock. Honest, clear headed and true,self-sacrificing for the good of the public or his friends, an activemember of the Methodist church, an old pioneer who has done his parttoward making this country what it is, Longmont has lost a good citizenand a good man. Not to be reported as good now that he is gone; butduring his life he has been respected and loved for his many noblequalities.

Mr. Pennock's life has been that of a pioneer to a great extent. Born inPalmyra, Portage Co., Ohio, September 15, 1834. Started for this countrywhen the cry of the gold discoveries had excited many in the easternstates, in company with Lorenzo Dwight in 1859, in wagons, but winteredin Iowa, and did not arrive until the Spring of 1860, when he went intothe mountains and prospected for gold as nearly every one of thenewcomers at that time did. Before fall he had located on Left Handabove the Belcher place, Mr. Dwight and he continuing as partners forseveral years or until after Mr. Pennock's marriage.

In the winter of 1860 he "bached" with Geo. and Fred Beckwith and theirfather and Lorenzo Dwight.

In the fall of 1862 Mr. Pennock and Geo. W. Coffin went back to Omaha inwagons and met Jackson Pennock and his family, W. D. Pennock's family andMiss Ellen Coffin, who all came to Colorado in their company.

In the fall of 1863 P. R. Pennock and G. W. Coffin again took theirwagons and teams and struck out for Omaha. From Omaha they took stage atCouncil Bluffs forty miles, to connect with the Northwestern road. Onthis trip the stage overturned off a bridge and they narrowly escapeddeath. After this they again crossed the plains to Colorado, just afterthe marriage of Mr. Coffin in March 1864.

On May 1, 1864, P. R. Pennock and Miss Ellen Coffin were married in M. H.and G. W. Coffin's log cabin on Lower St. Vrain, by Rev. Chas. King, aMethodist preacher.

A party, consisting of P. R. Pennock and family, G. W. Coffin and family,and C. H. Gardner, in the fall of 1865, left with wagons for Omaha,taking steamer to St. Jo, thence to Chicago on cars. Mr. Pennock and Mr.Coffin returned leaving their families in the spring of 1866, as theIndians were dangerous at that time. R. F. Coffin came with them.

The two went east over the plains again in the fall of 1866 to CottonwoodSprings, Neb., where they connected at that time with the U. P. R. R.,just being built. Mr. Coffin tells us that in this trip they wadedacross the Platte River in October, where it was a mile wide, and itbeing very cold they came near perishing, for the water was waist deep.They went to Illinois at this time where Mr. Coffin and wife remaineduntil a year later, and Mr. Pennock and family for ten years. This makesseven times that P. R. Pennock and G. W. Coffin crossed the plainstogether in wagons.

Mr. Pennock has been a farmer all his life. He was the first man todiscover the possibility of turning the water of the St. Vrain into LeftHand Creek, and did so before the Left Hand Ditch was constructed. Thetestimony of his friends is that though he was a farmer he sometimesspeculated in stock, and in matters of business he seldom or never made amistake in judgment. Others might hesitate, but he acted promptly andsuccess was with him.

In 1897 he was elected town trustee and served two years.

He leaves one son and two daughters, as well as wife to mourn their loss. In his own generation he was the youngest and last of twelve children.

Funeral services will be held this Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock, Rev.H. B. Cook of Canon City, and Rev. H. M. Mayo, officiating, at thePennock residence.

General Notes: Longmont Ledger, 19 Aug 1910
DANIELS - At his home on Emery street, Longmont, Friday evening, August 12, 1910, Joseph Warren Daniels, aged 70 years, 3 months and 6 days.
Another old settler has passed to the beyond, and though he has not been in robust health for some time, he has always taken great interest in public affairs, serving for years as Police magistrate and Justice of the Peace, and always administered justice with fairness.
J. W. Daniels was born in Hartland, Vermont, May 6, 1840, and was therefore over seventy years of age. He lived at home at this place till the opening of the Civil War, when he enlisted in Company G, First Regiment Vermont Volunteers, Heavy Artillery, served his term of enlistment, three years, then re-enlisted and served to the end of the war. This was in the Army of the Potomac. He was wounded in the head and shoulder at the battle of Cold Harbor, and suffered long in the hospital.
After the war he returned home, then went to Minnesota and Wisconsin, and in 1869 came to Colorado, going to Blackhawk and Central City, where he engaged in mining and "batched" with L. A. White, now of Longmont, in the winter of 1869-70, while they prospected in the spot still known as Peck Gulch.
On December 24, 1873, he married Miss Emma Coffin, sister of R. H. Coffin and M. H. Coffin and Mrs. Ellen C. Pennock. They made their home in Caribou, where Mr. Daniels taught school and engaged in mining.
In 1877 the family moved to Longmont, where they have since resided. Mr. Daniels owned property on Emery street, from Eigth avenue north, and their home has been about this place for twenty-seven years. He was an active member of McPherson Post No. 6, G.A.R., as far as his health would permit, joining the Post January 8, 1884. He served as Post Commander in 1907.
Mr. Daniels was a kind father and a loving husband, and since the grandchildren came to gladden his life, he has been devoted to their happiness.
Mr. Daniels suffered much in the early part of his illness, but the end came peacefully. Half an hour before he passed away he called his relatives to his side and bade them goodbye.
He leaves a widow and two daughters, a son and daughter having died in infancy, two brothers, one in Vermont and the other in Wisconsin, and three grandchildren, Paul Daniels Jones, Helen Lucille and Gertrude Ola Broughton.
Services were held on Sunday afternoon by Rev. J. F. Porter, and McPherson Post took charge at the grave.

General Notes: FROM "History of Kossuth County", pp. 87-88:
William E. McDonald is junior partner of the firm of Pettibone &McDonald, dealers in agricultural implements and machinery, and is nowclassed with the representative and successful men of Kossuth county, hisenergy bringing him a measure of success that is most gratifying. He wasborn October 3, 1873, in Portland township, this county, his parentsbeing Joseph D. and Nancy I. (Young) McDonald, in whose family were fivesons and one daughter. The father was a farmer of Illinois but at thetime of the Civil war put aside all business considerations and enlistedin the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Illinois Regiment, with which heserved for over three years, or until he was mustered out. His regimentconstituted a part of Sherman’s army on the march to the sea and tookpart in various other campaigns. After the war Mr. McDonald returned toIllinois and then removed to Kossuth county, securing a homestead claimon section 8, Portland township. Not a furrow had been turned or animprovement made upon the place but with characteristic energy he beganits development and as the years went by converted the wild prairie landinto productive fields. He died in 1891 and is still survived by hiswife, who is now residing in Santa Barbara, California.
William E. McDonald was educated in the schools of Kossuth county andin the Iowa Business College of Des Moines. His father removed to Burt,this county, and after his death William E. McDonald took up the hardwareand lumber business at that place, continuing in that line of trade therefor six years. On the expiration of that period he sold out and wasappointed by S. P. Christenson to the office of deputy sheriff of thecounty. He served in that capacity for four years, or from 1897 until1901, when he was elected sheriff and served for five years, holding theposition from 1901 to 1906. He then became bookkeeper for the AlgonaMilling & Grain Company, with which he continued through 1907 and 1908,at the end of which time he formed a partnership for the sale ofagricultural implements and machinery under the flrm name of Pettibone &McDonald. He is still a member of the firm and the business has nowassumed large and profitable proportions. What he has accomplishedrepresents the fit utilization of the innate powers which are his. He hasmade wise use of his time and talents and the years, busily spent, havebrought him a measure of success which places him with the substantialresidents of this part of the state.
In July, 1897, Mr. McDonald was united in marriage to Miss Adell C.Coffin, a daughter of C. S. Coffin, of Burt, one of the old settlers ofKossuth county, in which Mrs. McDonald was born. By her marriage she hasbecome the mother of two children: Sherwood D., born in February, 1903;and William Dale, in June, 1905.
The social element in Mr. McDonald’s nature finds expression in hismembership in the Odd’ Fellows lodge of Algona, in Prudence Lodge, No.174, A. F. & A. M., Prudence Chapter, No. 70, R. A. M., and ErnestCouncil, No. 17, R. & S. M. He is loyal to the teachings of thefraternity, exemplifying in his life the beneficent spirit of the craft,which is based upon mutual helpfulness and brotherly kindness. There havebeen no unusual or exciting chapters in his life record. He has worked onpersistently day after day and year after year, knowing that perseveranceand diligence are the basis of success.

COFFIN HELD FOR ATTACK ON HIS WIFE
Coffen told his former employer, W. A. Newth, the South Street Grocer, that he was going to shoot his wife last Saturday.
Charged with assault in the first degree, Benton W. Coffen, formerly a grocery clerk for W. A. Newth of South Street, is confined in the County Jail. This evening he will be arraigned before Justice of the Peace Pringle of Washington Mills, on a charge of attempting to shoot his young wife. The attempted shooting occurred at Washington Mills Saturday afternoon when the wife was on her way home from work in a mill.
Coffen and his wife, whose maiden name was Jenny Ross, seperated some months ago, it is said, because the husband was intemperate. Mrs. Coffen went to her parent's home in Washington Mills, taking her baby girl, and Coffen continued to work in Newth's store. After a time, at the advice of his employer, he received to effect a reconciliation with his wife, if possible, and, with that end in view, saved some money and hired a flat on Leah Street, which he furnished. The wife refused to join him, however, and it is supposed her refusal led to the shooting.
Coffen was discharged by Mr. Newth about two weeks ago and he has since been on a spree. Saturday he went to Newth's store shortly before noon and related his grievances against his wife, winding up with the declaration that he was going to Washington Mills to shoot her. When Coffen left, Newth telephoned to the police and Deputy Sheriff Ireland was sent to Washington Mills to head off a tragedy. On the road he met Coffen and arrested him. The wife stated that Coffen lay in wait for her when she came home at noon and fired several shots from a revolver, of which one entered the door casing and another grazed Coffen's hand. The woman slammed the door in his face and was unhurt.
For a time the couple lived in rooms which they hired from Mrs. Charlotte M. Davies of [??] South Street, but the husband drank and they quarreled. After the wife left, Coffen secured a room at the Rutger on West Street. He is said to be an unusually capable salesman. It has been suggested that his wife's refusal to return to him was due to the influence of a mother-in-law.

Utica Herald-Dispatch, Friday Evening, June 18, 1909
Benton W. Coffin was charged with assault, first degree, in having fired a revolver four times in close proximity to his wife in Washington Mills. The wife had left her husband and at the time mentioned was living with her folks. Coffin, who is 36 years old, was born in North Gage and at present is living in this city. He was a postal clerk at one time. He was sentenced to Auburn Prison for not less than one year or more than two years at hard labor.

Benton W. Coffin was returned to prison Saturday night for violation of parole.

He was paroled June 18, 1910, and as he has never been declared delinquent he will be released on June 19, 1911.

General Notes: From the "History of Idaho", by James H. Hawley, 1920</P>

Mark Ainsworth Coffin, manager of the firm of Coffin and Beglan, engaged in the automobile and garage business in Boise, dates his residence in Idaho from 1891, in which year he arrived from Longmont, Colorado. Illinois claims him as a native son, his birth having occurred in DeKalb County, September 19, 1867, his parents being George W. and Emilie(Ainsworth) Coffin. The father was born at Roxbury, New York, while the mother is a native of Belvidere, Illinois. His death occurred at Longmont, Colorado, in 1906, but the mother still survives and makes her home with her son Mark in Boise. She is approaching the age of eighty years. George W. Coffin devoted his life to the occupation of farming and thus provided for the support of his family, which numbered four sons and two daughters, all of whom are yet living.

Mark A. Coffin was reared and educated in Colorado, where his parents had resided for several years prior to his birth, which occurred, however, while his mother was visiting in Illinois. He studied Civil Engineering in the Colorado State Agricultural College at Fort Collins and practicedhis profession for some time before turning his attention to theautomobile business. He removed from Longmont, Colorado, to Idaho in 1891, settling first at Idaho Falls, where he remained for thirteen years and afterward lived for a few years at Twin Falls. In the former place he had charge of the Great Western canal for a number of years, acting a swater master for some time. At Twin Falls he was in charge of the Twin Falls irrigation project, being superintendent of construction and watermaster. In 1906 he went to Brazil, where he spent eighteen months as superintendent of construction of a large dam in Southern Brazil for a Toronto (Canada) concern.

Upon his return to the United States he took up his abode in Boise in 1907 and has since made his home in this city. While his family were in Boise, however, he spent much of the time during the years 1909 and 1910 in Twin Falls, occupying the position which he had previously filled. During the following years up to 1915 he was professionally engaged on various other public projects in Idaho and Utah. In 1915, however, heturned his attention to the automobile and garage business and is now senior partner in the firm of Coffin and Beglan, his associate being Matthew Beglan. They are distributors in Southwestern Idaho and eastern Oregon for the Hupmobile and sell a large number of cars annually. Their garage on Bannock Street is seventy-five by one hundred and twenty-twofeet and they have a storehouse in addition, twenty-five by one hundredand twenty-two feet.

On the twentieth of December, 1894, Mr. Coffin was married in Idaho Falls, Idaho to Miss Mary Alice Pelot, who was born in this state and is a daughter of Carlisle and Alice (Buck) Pelot, early residents of eastern Idaho. They now have four daughters: Reva, the wife of Pliny Arnold, of Boise; Ruth, Mary, and Laura, who are at home. Their daughter Ruth is Stenographer for the firm of Coffin and Beglan. Mr Coffin owns his home at No. 1119 North Eighth Street in Boise, which he erected in 1908 and which is a comfortable and attractive residence of eight rooms. He also owns an excellent grain ranch of three hundred and twenty acres in Idaho County.

Fraternally, Mr. Coffin is an Odd Fellow, belonging to the subordinate lodge and encampment, and is a past grand of the order. He also has membership in the Boise Commercial Club and is interested in all of its well defined plans and projects for the upbuilding of the city. In politics he is a democrat but has never been a candidate for elective office. However, he is serving as one of the drainage commissioners of Ada County, a position which he has acceptably filled for some time, his previous experience as a civil and irrigation engineer well qualifying him for work of this character.

Mark married Mary Alice Pelot on 20 Dec 1894 in Idaho Falls, Bonneville, Idaho. Mary was born on 8 Nov 1874 in Idaho and died on 11 Jul 1960 in Oceanside, San Diego, California.

General Notes: From Past and Present of DeKalb County, by Lewis M. Gross, published 1907by Pioneer Pub. Co.

The growth and prosperity of a community depends largely upon itsindustrial and commercial interests, and they who push forward the wheelsof progress are the men who are at the head of the business interests,displaying a spirit of enterprise and determination, which conquersobstacles and shapes conditions to their own ends. Frank C. Patten istoday at the head of the Sycamore Foundry Company of Sycamore,manufacturers of agricultural implements and hardware specialties, theconcern being one of the most important industrial enterprises of thecity.

Mr. Patten was born on a farm in Afton township, De Kalb County, October10, 1867. His father, Sylvester W. Patten, a native of the state of NewYork, was born in Starkville, Herkimer County, September 4, 1837, and wasthe third in a family of eight children. In 1850 he came to Illinois withhis parents, David and Nancy (Countryman) Patten, who located in Boonecounty, where they resided for two years. In 1852 they removed to SouthGrove township, De Kalb county, settling on a farm which David Pattenpurchased and which is now owned by his son, J. H. Patten. The father wasa carpenter by trade and was connected with building operations, whilehis sons carried on the farm work. He died in April, 1859, while his wifepassed away a few years later.

Sylvester W. Patten, father of our subject, assisted his father with thefarm operations during the summer months, and in the winter seasonsengaged in teaching school up to the time of his marriage, which wascelebrated near Belvidere, Boone county, Illinois, on the 1st of May,1860, Miss Elizabeth Coffin becoming his wife. She was a native ofDelaware County, New York, born in 1839, and in May, 1845, went toBelvidere with her parents, Jacob and Mary Ann (Hull) Coffin. Herpaternal great-grandfather, John Coffin, was born in 1753 and wedded MaryVan Tassel, of German descent, who was born in 1743. Their son, IsaacCoffin, was the father of Jacob Coffin and was born in 1773. The Coffinfamily were originally of Norman stock. The first to come to America wasTristram Coffin, who came with eight sons in 1642 and settled nearHaverhill, Massachusetts. In connection with others he purchasedNantucket Island. His eldest son settled near Albany and was the fatherof John Coffin, the great-grandfather of Mrs. Sylvester Patten.

Subsequent to his marriage Sylvester Patten purchased a farm eight milessouth of De Kalb in Afton township, where he resided until 1882, when hesold that property and bought another farm two miles northwest of DeKalb, continuing to reside thereon until 1892, when he decided to give upfarming altogether and with his family removed to the city of De Kalb,where he and his wife still make their home. Previous to their marriageboth were teachers for several years in the country schools of theirrespective counties. They are most highly esteemed people, having a largecircle of warm friends in the county by reason of their many goodqualities of heart and mind. While living on their farm in Afton townshiptheir six children were born. Mary L., the eldest, is the wife of M. D.Shipman, of De Kalb. Emma Louise is the wife of F. S. Greeley, ofWaterman, this county. Frank C. is their only son. Edith S. is a teacherin the Normal School at De Kalb. Alice Carey was a member of the facultyof the Northern Illinois State Normal School from its opening until herdeath, which occurred September 11, 1894. Elizabeth M. is the wife of C.F. Toenniger, of De Kalb.

After attending the district schools, Frank C. Patten entered the highschool of De Kalb and was graduated in the class of 1885. Immediatelyafterward he entered the employ of William Deering & Company, of Chicago,with whom he remained for a year, when, desiring to engage in business onhis own account, he returned to De Kalb and established a small shop, inwhich he began the manufacture of sundries on a limited scale. Owing tothe increase of his business, in 1887, he purchased a building andemployed several men to assist him. His trade developed so rapidly thatsoon his buildings covered three and a half lots in the city, and about1889 had spread over the entire block. In addition to his manufacturingbusiness, in 1889 he began contracting and building, purchasing vacantproperty, subdividing and improving it. Thus unsightly vacancies weretransformed into good residence districts and the appearance of the citywas greatly enhanced by his operations in this direction. On his ownaccount he built between seventy-five and one hundred houses and as manymore on contract for others. In addition to the erection of residences hebuilt school buildings at De Kalb, Maple Park, Elburn, and Grossdale,employing draftsmen, masons, carpenters, tinners, plumbers, painters andpaper hangers, as well as laborers, the combined payroll of theindustries under his ownership having upon it as high as three hundredand fifty names.

Constantly on the outlook for opportunities to enlarge his business andbroaden the scope of his activities, Mr. Patten in 1893 came to Sycamoreand purchased the Marsh harvester plant and also the entire plantformerly owned by the R. Ellwood Manufacturing Company. The business wasconsolidated and is conducted under the name of the Sycamore FoundryCompany. The enterprise is now very extensive and Mr. Patten catersespecially to heavy buyers who have goods furnished under contract fortheir own trade. The working force has increased from thirty-five to onehundred and seventy-five hands, while the product which was formerlymainly farming implements now embraces gasoline engines, hot airfurnaces, blacksmiths' tools, and a heavy list of hardware specialties.Every year has seen new buildings erected, modern machinery added andimproved facilities for handling the immense business. The output is nowextensive and is shipped to various parts of the country and the industryis one of the sources of Sycamore's progress and prosperity, furnishingemployment to a large force of workmen and thus providing the means oflivelihood for many families.

Mr. Patten was married at the home of the bride's parents on a farm nearSycamore, to miss Carrie M. Crane, a daughter of Frederick S. and MaryAdeline (Bristol) Crane. Her mother was born in Genesee county, New York,a daughter of Hiram and Sarah (Spink) Bristol. The birth of Frederick S.Crane occurred in Wayne County, New York in 1833, and two years later hewas brought by his parents to Illinois, where the days of his boyhood andyouth were passed. He is a son of David and Catherine W. (Stolp) Crane,the latter a daughter of Frederick and Jeanette (Pepper) Stolp, herfather being a soldier of the war of 1812. Both families are of Hollanddescent. The paternal grandparents of Frederick Crane were Zebina andHannah (Gould) Crane. In 1853, at the age of eighteen years, he crossedthe plains to California and after returning from the Pacific slope hepurchased a farm near Naperville, Illinois, where he resided until 1869.He then came to De Kalb county and invested in four hundred acres of landin Clrtland township, remaining for many years a prominent and prosperousagriculturist of that locality. His wife died while they were upon thefarm, July 17, 1887, being survived by five children: Hiram D., ofSycamore; Frank H., who died September 23, 1894; Myron F., of Sycamore;Mrs. J. W. Snow, also of the same city; and Carrie M., now Mrs. Patten.In 1895 Mr. Crane sold his farm and removed to Long Beach, California,where he is now living. He was married again in that state, in 1896, Mrs.Melvina Moore, nee Lord, becoming his wife.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Patten has been blessed with three sons and adaughter: Byron, born June 14, 1892; Barbara Annette, September 1, 1893;Everett Frank, July 7, 1895; and Ralph Sylvester, January 2, 1898.

For two years Mr. Patten has served as Mayor of Sycamore and has alsobeen a member of the city council, exercizing his official prerogativesin support of measures and movements which have had direct bearing uponthe welfare and progress of the county. His wife is a member of theMethodist Episcopal church, and they occupy one of the beautiful homes ofSycamore, situated at No. 827 Somonauk street. With the exception of aperiod of one year spent in Chicago, Mr. Patten throughout his entirebusiness career has remained in his native county and is numbered amongits most prominent and progressive citizens. His connection with anyundertaking insures a properous outcome of the same, for it is in hisnature to carry forward to successful completion whatever he isassociated with. He has won for himself an enviable reputation as acareful man of business and in his dealings is known for his strict andhonorable methods, which have won him the deserved and unboundedconfidence of his fellowmen.

Dr. V. R. Pennock is Called by Death
-------------------------
Beloved Longmont Physician answers final summons after but a few weeksillness
-------------------------

-------------------------
Dr. V. R. Pennock, beloved Longmont physician, pioneer and communitybuilder, passed away Friday morning, August 19, 1921, at 3:30 o'clock,after having made a heroic fight against an ailment which struck him downbut a few weeks ago. Shortly after Dr. Pennock was taken ill, hiscondition was pronounced as serious. He failed rapidly, but everythingpossible was done that his life might be prolonged. Dr. Chas. Mayo,famous physician and surgeon, who was spending a vacation in Estes Park,was called into consultation but could add nothing to the efforts oflocal physicians, and finally an operation was resorted to at the requestof the sufferer himself. The result of this operation was at firstencouraging, but during the two days preceding death, Dr. Pennock failedrapidly, and Thursday night it was realized that the end was near.

The hospital association gave out the following statement as to the causeof death:

"At autopsy on the body of our associate, Dr. V. R. Pennock, there wasfound as the cause of his illness and death, a cancerous ulcer at theoutlet of the stomach."
"Longmont Hospital Assn., C. F. Andrew, Pres."

Dr. Pennock was a Longmont Pioneer in every sense of the word. He wasborn May 8, 1870, In Illinois, his parents being Mr. and Mrs. Porter C.Pennock. The family moved to Longmont when Dr. Pennock was but fouryears old. He grew to manhood in this city, attending the Longmont gradeand high schools and later entered the State University to fit himselffor the profession of a physician. After receiving his degree the youngphysician went to Cripple Creek (April, 1898) where he practiced hisprofession for a number of years, finally giving up his practice at thatplace and returning to Longmont.

In 1906 the deceased was the prime mover in the organization of theLongmont Hospital Association and the erection of the building, and wasassociated with the institution up to the time of his death.

Dr. Pennock was married in 1894 to Miss Lillian Large of Longmont. Tothis union was born three children: Mildred, Philip, and Hugh, who withtheir mother survive. Two sisters also survive, Mrs. Hugh Large and Mrs.F. L. Sanborn.

Columns could not express the worth of the deceased physician to Longmontand community. He was always found in the fore ranks when any move ofprogress was started, and played a large part in the upbuilding of ourcity and surrounding country. He was only 51 years of age when deathclaimed him, but his deeds were those of one twice his age. He was everready to give aid to others, but his acts of charity were seldom knownexcept to those closest to him.

He was a devoted Christian, being affiliated with the Longmont MethodistEpiscopal Church, and especially active in the men's organizations ofthat church.

General Notes: The news on Sunday morning that Supervisor Sherwood McDonald had diedsuddenly shortly after 3 o'clock a.m. spread rapidly and shocked thecounty from end to end.

There had been no warning beforehand, not even to himself. He had adoctor's checkup recently, but nothing indicated an alarming condition.He had, however, been troubled for some time with high blood pressure,but had been feeling good of late.

Supervisor and Mrs. McDonald, with Supervisor John Rode and his wife ofTitonka, had attended the state county officers school of instruction atDes Moines two days last week, returning Saturday.

A sudden heart attack was responsible for death. At about 3 a.m. onSunday Mr. McDonald awoke, saying he did not feel good. He lingered onlyabout a few minutes, dying at about 3:15. There had been no previouswarning of heart disease.

The death was a hard blow for the other four county supervisors.Sherwood had been a member of the board seven years; he was chairman atdeath, and had been chairman most of the time during his service.

A successor to Mr. McDonald will be chosen by the auditor, Marc Moore,clerk of court, Alma Pearson, and recorder, Clara Walker, as provided byIowa law. They will not act until the end of the week.

Sherwood himself was so chosen on the death of his father, the late W. E.McDonald, but he was later twice elected on his own. The districtconsists of Algona, Plum Creek and Union Townships.

Sherwood'sfather, who was then Sheriff, was one of the county's best known men, andhe served many years as Supervisor. Both of Sherwood's parents died onlya few years ago.

The elder McDonalds had two other sons: Dale, who died at 13, andStanley, whose home is at Herminston, Oregon. Stanley will be here forthe funeral. Sherwood had three uncles remembered by oldtimers: EvertMcDonald, Los Angeles, Calif.; George Coffin, San Diego, Calif.; HenryMcDonald, Bakersfield, Calif.

Sons who, with theirmother, survive are Garry, of Algona, and David, the latter still athome. Garry is married, and their are two grandchildren, William andCathy.

After graduation from the Algona High School, Sherwood attended collegeat Cornell for a year and a half. For some years before he becamesupervisor he was employed by the county and thus obtained a workingknowledge of county government and affairs which enabled him to serveeffectively from the start after his appointment. He rose quickly to thechairmanship, and his service was considered eminently satisfactory. Hewas especially active in every detail concerning the construction of thenew courthouse.

Sherwood was popular in his adult life. He was a member of theCongregational Church, and his funeral will be conducted by the pastor,the Rev. Mr. Hallauer, at 2 p.m. this Wednesday at the church, withburial in Riverview Cemetery. Sherwood was also a member of the localMasonic and Eastern Star lodges.

Gertrude and Helen went to live with their Grandmother Daniels in Longmont. This lasted only a few years as Grandma Daniels discovered that she was unable to care properly for two young girls. She found a relative living in Waterman, Illinois who was willing to adopt the girls. It's difficult to contemplate a trip by steam locomotive all the way from Colorado to Illinois in the early 1900s, but that's what the girls did.
Helen and Gertrude were escorted by a young woman on a train trip to Illinois, where their adoptive parents, Frank and Emma Greeley, were waiting to meet them. The girls had yet another problem to overcome before life would run relatively smoothly for them; Frank Greeley had a heart attack and died while working on his farm. Gertrude and Helen were raised by Emma Greeley, who inevitably sold the Waterman farm and moved to DeKalb to live in a city of roughly 15,000 people.
Gertrude attended Northern Illinois State Teachers College (today Northern Illinois University) for two years where she received a teaching certificate, and then she later moved to Madison and attended the University of Wisconsin where she received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English and Art. Gertrude taught high school Art and English in Lake Forrest, Illinois, where she met Frank E. Parcells, Jr., a five-letter Lake Forrest College athlete. Frank was an English major who, after graduation, worked for newspapers in Waukegan, Lake Forrest, and Chicago. Gertrude started the Art Department and also taught art at Lake Forest College.
Frank, Jr. and Gertrude were soon married, and eventually relocated to a small Illinois town, Pittsfield, near St. Louis, MO. Here Frank and Gertrude bought the local newspaper, the Pike County Republican. Shortly after relocation to Pittsfield, Frank III was born in November 1946, and unfortunately, four months later in March 1947, Frank Jr., only 43 years pf age, perished from a blood clot, while being treated at a St. Louis hospital.
Gertrude Stonesifer Gertrude soon sold the newspaper and relocated to DeKalb where she lived in an apartment in her sister, Helen's, home. Helen, was married to Harold Walker, a violin maker, clarinetist, and contractor. Gertrude worked at the public library and taught in the high school, and later, at the elementary schools in DeKalb, IL. Harold built a home for Gertrude and Frank, where the two of them lived until she met Del Stonesifer who she married in January of 1958. Del was a retired General Motors executive, who served as President of a local savings and loan, and once ran for Mayor of the City of DeKalb. Gertrude gained Del's two daughters, Ann and Jean, and Del got Frank as his son. They lived in DeKalb first in a home and later in an apartment; they lived in the apartment until Del's death at age 91 in May of 1991.
Gertrude and Del traveled extensively during their marriage, and Gertrude began painting again. She showed her work in northern Illinois area art shows, and won several awards. At this time she also began writing some stories for her grandchildren. But her career as a professional writer did not really begin until her 87th birthday. Then, she began writing children's stories professionally for Mayhaven Publishing.
Gertrude composed several books, beginning with the Peanut Butter Kid. which was a story based on her son, Frank's love of peanut butter sandwiches. Next came The Monarch, The Snow Goose, and The Butterfly Tree, which she illustrated herself, and then another volume of children's stories called Then and Now Stories, featuring stories she heard told during her youth as well as some new and originally authored tales.
Her latest book, Orlo's Trouble, is co-authored by her granddaughter, Amy Broemmel, and illustrated by the Austin Peay State University College of Arts and Letters Dean, Jim Diehr; in a break from tradition, Orlo's Trouble will be available soon from a new publisher. Gertrude also penned an interesting autobiography about her life and the life of her sister, Helen. It was appropriately titled Sister and Me.
Gertrude lived in Charleston with her son, Frank, and daughter-in-law, Dianne, and their family from 1991 until their move to Clarksville, TN in 2001. She was a member of the Charleston PTO Sisterhood, the Charleston Senior Center, and the Fourth Street United Methodist Church. This is where Gertrude wrote most of her books, and even had her art displayed at the Charleston Municipal Building. She loved working with her friends at the Senior Center in the ceramics group, where she created, painted, and finished ceramic figures and other objects. Frank, Dianne, her two grandsons, and Gertrude moved to Clarksville, TN in 2001, Gertrude lived in an apartment located in the basement of her son's home, where she was fully mobile and involved in family life. She again sought outside of the home activities and became involved in the Ajax Senior Center, where Gertrude at her desk in her basement apartment.
she participated in weekly meetings of a writing group, and penned several additional stories. She traveled on her own to and from the Senior Center on a Bus with others seniors she met and enjoyed.

In February 2004, Gertrude fell and broke her hip. It took her a great deal of therapy and exercise coupled with a stay in a nursing home, but she was able to walk again. She eventually returned home to live in her apartment with her son Frank, and daughter-in-law, Dianne. She really loved her still mostly independent lifestyle.
At the end of December 2004, Gertrude caught bronchitis. For someone younger person this is not a very serious infliction, but for Gertrude, then 97, it was a very difficult physical time for her. She was hospitalized, but, even with her congestive heart failure, she beat the odds and recovered completely. She was receiving rehabilitation at the Montgomery County Nursing Home getting her strength back to return home, when she caught the influenza. This sent her back to the hospital with a bad cough, and this time she could not pull out of the effects of the flu. Gertrude left our world on Tuesday, February 22, 2005 at 9:15 PM with her son, Frank, at her bedside and her grandson, Jon, holding her hand.
She left us for a better place with those in her family, those who knew her, those who she taught, and those who saw her artwork and read her books. The loss of Gertrude Ola Broughton Greeley Parcells Stonesifer must really be looked upon as a celebration of her lengthy life - a life that spanned 97 years including some of the most extreme changes our world has ever experienced. That's nearly 100 years of watching in awe all of these changes occurring right before her eyes. Now, we celebrate Gertrude's life as she joins her many friends and loved ones in Heaven.

John Lawrence Kirigin, Jr. "On Top of the World" John Lawrence Kirigin,Jr.
died suddenly on July 2, 2005 of a heart attack caused by undetectedheart
disease at the age of 54, leaving those of us who knew and loved him witha
profound sense of loss and disbelief. We take some comfort knowing thathe was
in a beautiful place, at the top of Hidden Peak, doing what he loved:skiing
with his son, Jay Bowman-Kirigin, the person he loved most in the world.But
he left us and the mountaintop far too soon. John's life revolved around
supporting Jay's passion for skiing and for learning. He lived to see hisson
achieve the number one ranking in his '06 class at East High, win theJunior
Olympics in moguls, and receive the silver medal at Nationals. Hebelieved in
living a simple life, unencumbered by a quest for material things. Muchof his
time and resources went toward helping Jay pursue his dream of becomingan
Olympic mogul skier. Those who know how much effort and sacrifice isrequired
to support talented offspring are gladdened that John lived long enoughto see
some of that dreamed fulfilled. Jay will finish out the run on themountain
for his dad. John was born March 31, 1951, in Napa, California to Peggyand
Jack Kirigin. He was the youngest of their four children. They moved toTooele
when John was a teenager. He lived most of his life in Salt Lake City. He
received a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics at UC Berkeley, and another
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Utah.He
worked at Unisys Corporation (formerly Sperry) for 19 years. Hisco-workers
revered him as a talented and respected engineer. He married Elizabeth(Betsy)
Bowman, they were later divorced. John will be sorely missed by those he left
behind, because he was a good man who did his best as a father, brother,son,
friend and worker. He is survived by his son Jay (Salt Lake City), his sister
Kathryn Kirigin (Coronado, California), his brothers Lawrence (Sandy,Utah)
and Gary (Wendover, Utah) and his step mother Mary Kirigin (Playas delCoco,
Costa Rica). He was preceded in death by his mother and his father.John's
family would like to thank the team of EMTs, ski patrollers and thedoctor
present on Hidden Peak for their incredible efforts to save John's life.He
couldn't have been in better hands. A viewing will be held Monday, July11,
