THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR, Bulletin of the Sebewa Center Association.  Volume 36, December 2000, Number 3; submitted with permission from editor, Grayden D. Slowins
Orson E. Coe, 86, widower of Sara Margaret (Bryant) Coe, father of Orson Coe 
II, Brenda Carlon & Connie Miller, brother of George Coe, Jr. & Gladys (Coe) 
Hutchinson, son of George & Mabel Coe.  We refer you to his autobiography, 
which he told in an interview for The Recollector in August 1996, Volume 32, 
Number 1.  His father, George Coe, Sr., entered the auto business in Ionia in 
1912, two years before Orson was born.  Orson is said to have bought and sold 
his first car when he was ten, and officially joined his dad in the business in 
1937 after graduating from Michigan State University.  His life story is the 
story of the automobile business in Ionia & Kent Counties and much of 
Michigan.  Ann played the organ for his funeral at Ionia Presbyterian Church, 
where he had been a member since 1942, and he is buired in Sunset Memorial 
Gardens, a part of the family farm where his father farmed all his life.
