Mary Caldonia Slaton-Slayton Coe, came to Texas from Tennessee with her father, Charles Henry, his second wife Nancy Robertson Slaton-Slayton, 3 brother and 1 sister, and one half brother. Two half sisters died at birth and one more half brother was born in Wood, County, Texas.
Mary's mother, Eliza Caroline Rippey Slaton died 7 month, 8 days after Mary's birth and she was raised by Nancy Roberson-Robinson, her step-mother.
She married Asbel Parson Willard Coe October 23, 1892 in Quitman, Wood, Texas. She gave birth to 10 children, one set of twins, (one twin died at birth and one baby girl, Lottie Mae died at birth). Mary died of blood poisoning about one month, nine days after the birth of her last child, Fanny L. Coe and four days after Fanny died. She left six sons and one daughter ranging in age from 12 years,(my father, Charles Henry Coe) to one year, five months old. The children's dad never remarried and he raised the children alone.
My dad told me that when his mother died she was carried in a flatbed wagon drawn by horses to the cemetery and the children walked or were carried behind the wagon.(story by granddaughter, Charlene.

Inscription
There is no grave stone marking her grave, only a stone. I took my parents Henry and Oma Walters Coe,husband John, sons Tony and Mike to visit her grave in @ 1965 and it had been fifty years sence my dad had visited her grave. Dad went right to her gravesite. Two or three children are buried close by Mary Caldonia. They are Elvis Coe; Lottie Mae Coe; and Fanny L.Coe.(Fannie died three days before her mother so she may be buried with her mother.)
