A.P. WILLARD COE
Grandpa died in Texaco, New Mexico and was buried there in the town cemetery, but this was told o me by his son Obie Coe and I have no document to prove it.
He was living with his son Obie and Fred in Texaco, Curry, New Mexico in 1932 when he passed away. He was buried in Texaco, in the cemetery at that time, but no stone has been found or record.
A.P.Willard was named after the 11th governor of the state of Indiana, Ashpel Parsons Willard Coe. I do not know any connection of his parents with the governor that would cause them to name grandpa after the governor, if any. Governor Willard was pro-slavery, causing the Democratic Party to split. Much like our nation, Indiana had split along northern and southern lines. Our nation was on the brink of Civil War.
Grandpa being born in 1858 would not have understood what was happening along the shores of the Ohio River, but history says that many black families were fed and protected there as they escaped the Civil War and fled to safety protection in Indiana.
