There is an individual stone for Fred, inscribed "Father Fred 1867-1920". The pictured headstone reads "COON". As with his wife's records, there is a date discrepancy. Other records list his date of birth as May 8, 1866. He was born in Greenfield, Michigan, to Debbe Otis Coon and Myron Coon (see notes at this website). He married Laura Maurer Coon on March 19, 1889 in Wayne Co., Michigan. He was a talented carpenter. Census sheets list his occupation as "farmer". He died suddenly from a stroke on October 8, 1920.
