Ionia Daily Standard, 9 Apr 1891

Passed Over.

Death of Rev. J. M. Coe, a State Pioneer.

Rev. J. M. Coe, residing in South Ionia, died quite suddenly about 11 o’clock 
last night.  He had been suffering with the grippe, but had recuperated and was 
able to attend the funeral of John B. Hutchins, on Monday afternoon.  His 
friends did not become alarmed until yesterday, when a physician was summoned, 
who expressed the opinion that he would not live 24 hours, and within an hour 
he was dead.

Mr. Coe was born in Montgomery county N. Y., Aug. 24, 1810.  He had only 
limited school advantages.  He came to Michigan in 1830, locating at 
Farmington, Oakland county.  He made profession of religion in 1832, joining 
the Baptist church, in which denomination he was ordained a minister in 1839.  
He held a pastorate in Oakland county, but has not been in active ministerial 
service for many years.  He came to Ionia eighteen or twenty years ago.  

Mr. Coe was married three times.  His first wife died at Farmington, leaving 
one daughter, Lovica, who now resides at Pinckney this state.  His second wife 
died at Rome, Lenawee county, leaving three children two sons, since deceased, 
and one daughter, Verona, married and residing in Pennsylvania.  He married the 
wife who survived Feb. 18, 1868.

Funeral tomorrow at 2 p.m. from residence on south side.
