Coolidge was born in Venango County, Pennsylvania, July 3, 1847, and moved from Pennsylvania to Delaware County, Iowa at the age of eight years. While still in his youth he enlisted in the Union Army and served his country until the close of the war, when he was mustered out. Mr. Coolidge had a most remarkable experience during the service, which he has often related to the writer. While serving on picket duty, he was wounded by the first confederate he ever saw. He was united in marriage to Miss Luwane Howes, March 26, 1871 and the next year he and his wife moved to a farm in the Prairie Creek Valley in Merrick County, taking the place as a homestead. To this union were born two children, a son Ernest, who was born in Delaware County, Iowa, January 7, 1872 and died at Omaha, June 18, 1892, while attending school. Also one daughter, Myrtle, who was born in Merrick County, October 27, 1878, and died at Palmer, Nebraska February 14, 1900. By untiring industry and strict frugality Mr. Coolidge had the satisfaction of seeing his holding accumulate until he was quite a wealthy man. Several years ago he retired from the farm and moved to this town, but soon after this his health began to fail. He went to California in hopes that the change in climate might be of benefit to him. Everything known to medical science was done for his relief but for the last several years of his life he had been in deplorable condition physically. For several years Mr. Coolidge was much concerned over the disposition of his property, as he was desirious of using it in a way that would do the most good. In the year 1915 he contributed largely to the Coolidge Hospital in this town, and was instrumental in founding the institution, and erecting the structure which bears his name. The funeral was held from the Palmer M. E. Church (of which he had been a member since (1900) Monday, November 20, and the interment was made by the side of his wife in the Central City Cemetery.
