Arthur E. Coe, a prominent citizen of Barron, where for a number of years he
has been engaged in the practice of law, was born at Sterling, Ill., Nov. 2,

Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin in the class of 1896, 
and in the following year was admitted to the bar after examination by the 
state board, having previously studied law in the office of his brother,
Clarence C. Coe. Since then he has successfully practiced his profession in
Barron, where for several years he was a member of the school board. He was 
married July 7, 1897, to Emma Buckmaster, who was born in Fayette, Lafayette 
County, Wis., July 5, 1867, the daughter of Benjamin F. and Alsaida (Cook)
