Vicki,

You asked about Earl B. Coe's parents. He was Earl Bryant Coe, born July 15, 1857, in Canada, son of Benjamin and Mansy Coe of Ontario, Canada, and Genesee County, MI. He married Dec. 28, 1881, at Otisville, Genesee County, Mary C. Freeman, born May 5, 1857, in Michigan, daughter of Edward C. and Julia E. (Shaw) Freeman. His wife died Aug. 15, 1899, in Denver and was buried at Fairmount Cemetery. Earl died Aug. 24, 1908, in Denver and was buried near his wife.

Earl Bryant Coe was an attorney and pominent figure in the early history of Denver:

His brothers Fred E. Coe, William H. Coe, George M. Coe and sister Ione N. Coe followed him to Denver. Brothers Ira Coe and Benjamin Erastus Coe remained in Michigan.

My grandmother Carrie Leach (Bowers) Coe was in Denver during this period. After her mother died, she and her father Alonzo Columbus Bowers returned to Ohio.
