      Minneapolis Messenger, Jan. 4, 1951, page 8:
      Henry Nashville Coatney, only child of Harrison and Henrietta Coatney, was born in Deputy, Jennings County, Indiana, Feb. 27, 1867. He departed this life at the home in Ada, December 27, 1950 at the age of 83 years and 10 months.

      His father, a soldier of the Civil War, died when Henry was 9 months old, and his mother when he was 9 years old. After the death of his mother, he came to Minneapolis to make his home with Mr. and Mrs. James Hanners. Mrs. Hanners was his mother's sister. In this home, with the thirteen Hanners children, he grew to manhood.

      On New Year's day, 1888, he was married to Margaret Jane Kirkland. They established a hom on a farm in the Sumnerville community, where two children, Lola and Ray, were born. This also became the home of Anna Kirkland, sister to Mrs. Coatney, following the death of their mother.

      In 1895 the family moved from the Sumnerville community to the Ada community, where they lived on the farm now occupied by the Ray Coatney family. Mrs. Coatney passed away May 21, 1911. In March of the following year Mr. Coatney moved to Ada, to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. P.C. Van Meter, until the spring of 1913.

      On April 30, 1913, Mr. Coatney was married to Lena J. Brion, widowed mother of three children, Clay, Ray, and Ruth. To this union one son, Kale, was born. Ruth preceded him in death in November, 1927, Mrs. Coatney on February 21, 1928, and the son, Kale, in Germany on April 26, 1945.

      Mr. Coatney was converted and became a member of the Antioch Baptist Church of Ada, October 27, 1895, of which he continued a loyal member. He was a quiet, unassuming friend to all who knew him.

      Those left to mourn his passing are: two children Mrs. Lola Van Meter of Salina, and Ray, of rural Ada; two stepsons, Lt. Col. Clay W. Brion of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and Ray Brion of Denver, Colo.; three grandchildren, Ray Irvin Coatney of Kansas City, Kansas; Harlan Coatney of Ada; and Mrs. Larry Farmer, of Pratt, Kans.; two step-grandchildren, several great grandchildren, other relatives and a host of friends.

      Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Ada Baptist church, with Rev. Ernest Smart in charge. Interment was made in Fairview Cemetery
