[DescWilliam1798.FTW]

Places of residence before marriage: Harmony, Minn.; McCook Co. S.D.; Platte, S.D.
Lived with her Aunt Alice and Uncle Willis and cousin, Dora, while she attended 8th grade and high school in Harmony.
Obituary printed in "The Platte Enterprise"
Mrs. Rubie Coates, an early day schoolteacher and long time resident of the Academy area, died at North Valley Hospital in Whitefish, Mont., March 9 at the age of 82.
Services for Mrs. Coates were held Saturday, March 13, at 2 p.m. at Olive Presbyterian Church in Platte with Adolph Johnson officiating. Ruth Siddons was organist and Reta Cole was soloist.
Casket bearers were Gale Graves, Floyd Dimick, Verald Schubert, Gene Fite, Belvin Gillings and Don Nachtigal. Honorary bearers were Elmer Gillings, Les Fite, Hiram Dimick, Cesaire Turgeon, Atlee Schubert, and Duane Parish.
Interment was in Platte City Cemetery with Cool Funeral Chapel in charge of arrangements.
Mrs. Coates was born to William Henry Dunn and Henrietta Duxbury Oct. 25, 1888 in Fillmore Co., Minn. Her early childhood was spent in Minnesota and McCook Co., S.D.
At an early age she joined her mother, brother and sister in proving up a claim in Lyman Co.,S.D. She returned to Harmony, Minn., to complete her high school education.
After meeting the requirements for a teacher's certificate by successful completion of an examination in her senior year of high school, she began her teaching career in one room schools near Harmony, Minn.
Coming to Charles Mix County about 1912 with her sister, Mrs. Merna Stoltenberg, she taught near Ravinia, Platte, and in La Roche Township. Her marriage to Giffin Coates June 13, 1919, in Chamberlain ended a teaching career of nearly ten years.
They established their home at the Coates homestead two miles west of Academy where they reared and educated two daughters and one son.
It was here they lived for more than 25 years, during which time they managed to survive the depression and dust bowl years while caring for their children and carrying the farm through to better times.
Leaving the old farm home in 1946, they had their only vacation while traveling a short time in a trailer house in the southern United States, Mexico and ancestral homes near Dixon, Ill., Harmony, Minn., and Sumner, Wash. They also visited Yellowstone and daughter, Doris, and family in Montana. In Sumner, Wash., they established a home while th youngest daughter, Marilyn, completed high school and college.
When Giffin died in 1950, she made her home with her children. During the 1950's she spent intervals with her son while he was employed as government engineer in McCook, Neb., and Big Bend National Park in Texas.
She spent her last years in her apartment in Columbia Falls, Mont. near the home of her daughter, Doris.
She was the last of her family. In death she now joins her mother, father, sister Merna, and broher Wallace, husband Giffin, and grandaughter Kathryn Forkin.
She is survived by Mr. and Mrs. Jerrol Coates, Ferron, Utah; Mr. and Mrs. James (Doris) Forkin, Columbia Falls,Mont., Mr. and Mrs. James (Marilyn) Cox of Los Altos, Cal., and her four grandsons, Fredrick Wayne Forkin, Daniel Paul and Dale Jonathan Cox, and Joseph Giffin Coates, as well as friends and relatives in South Dakota, Montana, Washington, California and Minnesota.
Thank You

Letter from his grandmother to baby Danny Cox:

My Dear Little Grandson:
I wonder if sometime you would like to know something about your Great, Great, Great Grandfather, William Duxbury and his wife Anne who left their familiar surroundings in Old England and set sail in the good ship "Esther May" for the New World.
With their children, William, Thomas, Edward, Richard, George, John, James, Mary and Jane, they settled in the city of Salem, Mass., where they worked in the weaving mills.
The mother, Anne, died and is buried there.
The family finally moved westward settling for a time in Wisconsin and most of them, at least, finally settled in southeastern Fillmore county, Minnesota, along Partridge Creek near Harmony and Preston, where they farmed. I remember when I was a little girl I used to visit at Great Uncle Edward's and Great Uncle Thomas's. George, your great, great grandfather, married Mary Mills, an English girl. But after a few years she died and is buried in the Hutton cemetery, Fillmore Co., Minn. They had two children, Henrietta, who is my mother and your great grandmother, and Sarah Ann who, when she grew up, married Hiram Green and lived near Kent, Wash.
After some years your great great grandfather, George, married again and had two sons, John Henry and Willie Arthur, who spent their lives in and near Canova, S.D., where their father had moved after the death of his secnd wife, who is also buried in the Hutton cemetery. Your great great grandfather moved to Sumner, Wash. Pierce Co., where he died and is buried in the cemetery there.
His daughter, Henrietta, my mother and your great grandmother, married William Henry Dunn near Preston, Minnesota. They had three children, Merna (Murnie) Olive, Wallace Harvey and Rubie Pearl--that is I.
I married James Giffin Coates in Chamberlain, Brule Co., South Dakota, June 13, 1919. We had three children, your uncle Jerrol Giffin (1921), your aunt Doris Terrill (1922), and your mother Marilyn Alice (1930).
Your mother, Marilyn Alice, married your father James Elijah Cox in Lake Chelan in Sept. 1950 at the home of your grandfather and grandmother Mr. & Mus. Oscar Cox and now little Danny you were born March 2, 1956.
Sometime if you would like I will tell you about your great great grandfather's brothers and sisters and their families.---Grandma Coates
