Married to Margaret (Earley/Monday) Coates at time of death and is buried beside her in this cemetery.
Oscar was married once before and he and his first wife had one child, a son, Albert Coates, shown in the photo to the right with his wife.
*********************************
~~~NOTE~~~
I PERSONALLY NEVER KNEW MR. COATES AS HE DIED BEFORE I WAS IN THE FAMILY. HOWEVER, I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYONE SAY AN UNKIND WORD ABOUT HIM. I KNOW MY HUSBAND THINKS HE WAS A WONDERFUL MAN. HE WAS GOOD TO MARGARET. AND GOOD TO MY HUSBAND AND HIS BROTHER AND SISTER. I KNOW I CERTAINLY MISSED OUT NOT GETTING TO KNOW SUCH A FINE MAN.
*********************************
~~~A POEM FOR OSCAR~~~
A ship sails and I stand watching till it fades on the horizon
and someone at my side says
It is gone.
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all.
It is just as large now as when I last saw It.
It diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in it.
And just at that moment, when someone at my side says it is gone,
Others who are watching it coming over their horizon
and other voices take up a glad shout -
There it comes!
That is what dying is.
An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
