May I request for another search?? Do you have any information in Coon's in Rock County?? I have been told that Samuel was buried in a small cemetery near Magnolia, (or possibly just across the county line in Nobles Co). His son was Charles Wilbur Coon, (he is the one that was married to Bessie Smith). This is my great-grandfather (Samuel being my gr-gr-grandfather). Charles and Bessie had 2 daughters, Mary Ethelwyn and Dorothy Elceta. Ethelwyn (as she was known) married my grandfather Chester Clare Spease, he was a city commis. in Luverne and also a County Commis. for Rock Co. also he started and owned Spease Tire Shop, on the south(?) end of main near the bridge. Donald later took over the shop from grandpa and later moved the location to the intersection of main and the highway chaninging from Moblie Oil to Standard Oil. My father Loren William, Who worked at the shop until he went in Marine Corp, and later attended NWCC (NorthWestern Chiropratic College). I would be grateful to receive any information on the above names. I apologize for the long list, my main interest is in the Coon's. But would be grateful on bio information that might be found on my Grandfather Chester Clare Spease and Mary Ethelwyn (Coon) Spease. Thank you for this service you provide, there are so many of us that seek information on family from that past that do not have access to the history books of the counties, it is indeed a valuble service that you provide. And I am sure that I speak for others when I say Thank you for all the time that you as a volunteer provide. Sincerely, Laura
