Francis Coolidge was born April 20, 1836, in Ohio,

in South Tobacco, Gladwin county, of sugar diabetis.
He was united in marriage with Mary H. Young, Mar. 23,

union were born six children, viz.: Elmer E. Coolidge
of Tobacco, A. I. Coolidge of Knife River, Minn., Mrs.
Ida Deneen of Gagetown, Mrs. Minnie Robertson, and
Mrs. Rosetta Flock, of Tobacco; a son, Francis, died
when four years of age --- Two sisters survive him,

Mr. Coolidge was a veteran of the Civil war,
serving four years, and was a member of the G.A.R. of
Gladwin. Mr. Coolidge came to Tobacco township from
Ohio over 40 years ago and with the help of his boys
made a home from what was a wilderness. He was a kind
and loving father, and the best of neighbors, and will
be greatly missed by all who knew him. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Vaughen of Beaverton,
and the body was laid to rest with military honors in
Edenville cemetery.
