I might add one Civil War Union soldier, that of my G-g-grandpa, William
Henry Coats, although it should be verifible and I cannot. I remember my
grandfather, Lawrence Coates taking me there and I know he was born there, and his
father is buried in the Holton? cemetary. (William Harvey Coates). I dont know
how the 'e' got in our name but it happened in my g-grandfathers generation.
My gg-grandfather is buried in Grayson county on a farmland cemetary out Rt
54. His wife remarried after his death at age 35 and is buried near her son
W.H. but her tombstone reads Cassie Sturgeon. I was there in Edmonson with my
father last summer on Memorial Day and got to see all the graves. By the way,
he was 27th Ky Infantry, Company I, private, severely wounded and out of
action at the Battle of Lost Mountain (Kennesaw Ga) with Sherman.
