Spouse: Eunice Maria Weeks (married Oct. 27, 1857)
Father: Amos Coolidge
Mother: Louisa Hopkins

Among the many gifts his fairy godmother endowed on Horace Coolidge were a genial charm of manner, a rare tenderness and a spirit of living kindness, and a loyalty in friendship which made him dearly loved by all who knew him. His name, often on the pens of classmates in their letters of college days, "Coolidge, Dear Fellow", or "dear Coolidge", showing that he held an especial place in their hearts.
He was the son of Amos and Louisa (Hopkins) Coolidge. He was a delicate and only child, and the death of his mother when he was fifteen made his boyhood a lonely one. He passed some years of school life under what he calls the "paternal care" of J.F. Thayer, Esq. and prepared for College at the Boston Latin School.
He sailed on the American Eagle in 1852 and passed nearly two years in foreign travel. He returned to Boston to marry his sweetheart and become a lawyer.
