He was born Oct. 8, 1891, in the Washoe Area near Payette, the son of Daniel 
B. and Sarah Adeline Windle Coates.  At the age of two years he moved with his 
family to a Little Willow ranch for 13 years when the Coates family moved back 
to Payette where he attended school.  He married Hazel A. Fox on March 18, 
1912 in Vale.  They shared 72 and one-half years of happy married life on 
Little Willow before her death on Sept. 5, 1984.  Mr. Coates homesteaded 160 
acres of land in 1912 and has owned and operated his ranch on Little Willow

loving husband, father and grandfather and enjoyed sharing his life with his 
friends.
