New research about Coit below:
Coit's career was tied to his wife's family. Angie's aunt was Sarah Hannah Selleck (1851-1940). Her husband was George Joslyn (1848-1916) who owned the Western Newspaper Union as well as Cook Remedy Company of Chicago. In his obituary Coit was listed as the secretary/treasurer of the Western Newspaper Union.
Joslyn employed Coit as manager of the Cook Remedy Company in Chicago in 1893. This company went out of business in 1911 and Coit returned to Omaha and became an officer in the WNU. Thus he was employed at the same company as his brother-in-law Henry C. Akin. Coit also served on the board of directors of the Joslyn Museum until his death.
Coit and Angie made several trips to France in the late 1920's in the company of Angie's Aunt and Uncle Joslyn and seemed to be very much a part of the society of Omaha.
