SAMUEL D. COAKLEY, M. D., was born February 3, 1855, and is the third of
four sons and one daughter born to George and Martha J. (Durham) Coakley.
George Coakley was born on Pitman Creek in 1821, was a substantial and
leading farmer and slave-holder. Mrs. Martha Coakley was born in Taylor
County in 1828, and is a daughter of Samuel M. Durham. Dr. Coakley was born
on Brush Creek, Green County, was reared on a farm, and became sufficiently
advanced in the common schools to enable him to enter Centre College,
Danville, at the age of eighteen years, two years later attending school at
Canmer, Hart County. In the meantime he studied medicine and entered and
graduated from the University of Louisville, medical department, in 1878,
and located where he now resides, ten miles northwest of Greensburg, where
he has had a successful and extensive practice. He is a member of the
county board of health, and also runs a farm of 160 acres of fine land,
which he has embellished with a fine residence and substantial
outbuildings. He married September 18, 1878, Nancy V. Ingram, of Taylor
County, a daughter of Walter W. and Bettie W. (Edwards) Ingram, natives of
Adair and Green Counties, respectively. To this happy union four children
have been born: An infant and Ada (deceased), Walter G. and Bettie J. The
Doctor and wife are members of the Baptist Church, and he is a strong
advocate of temperance cause.
