DANIEL ASBURY7 COE (Samuel6, Daniel5, Milburn4, John3, Richard2, Richard1) was born March 4, 1852, in Muscatine County, IA. Reared in Montgomery County, the first school he ever entered was in a log cabin with slab seats in Waveland Township.
He lived at home until nineteen years old, when he engaged in the hotel business at Avoca, remaining there for three years.
Then he spent one year in Jewell County, KS, after which he returned to Iowa and worked as an overseer on a farm for John Jones, near Avoca.
His next enterprise was to rent land south of Griswold, Cass County, IA, which he cultivated four years. In 1880 he bought 120 acres of land in section 23, Waveland Township, Pottawattamie County, forty acres of which were broken. He built a house on the land, and two years later sold the property. He then bought 100 acres of land in section 4, all of which had been plowed. He put up a house and other buildings on this place and after remaining there five years sold it.
Mr. Coe then bought a farm of Thomas McCulla, consisting of 125 acres. It had been improved by James Pierce, who owned it before McCulla. On this farm was a good frame house, 14 x 22 feet, with an L, 12 x 14 feet. It was pleasantly situated and was surrounded by a grove and orchard of one acre. Other improvements on the place were a barn, sheds, yards, feed lots and a windmill. Mr. Coe's attentions were divided between stock-raising and cultivating the soil.
A Democrat, he was justice of the peace of Waveland Township and a member of the board of supervisors, Pottawattamie County.
A member of the Christian Church, he later made his home at Hancock, IA, where he was cared for by his son Elmer.
He died by suicide September 27, 1929, at Hancock. "The death of his wife and fact that he no longer enjoyed the activity of his younger days, seemed to have rested too heavily on his mind and made him weary of life."
He married May 16, 1873, in Pottawattamie County, IA, Flora Anne Winsby, born August 6, 1849, at Kentville, Kings County, Nova Scotia, died March 25, 1928, at Hancock, IA, daughter of Robert Closson and Ruby Adeline (Griffin) Winsby.
