Married Elizabeth Hyslop, 10 Aug 1893, Nephi, Juab, Utah
Child - Donald Hyslop Coray
When seven years old he accompanied his parents and brothers to their ranch at Mona, Juab County, Utah. Here during his youth he assisted in the development of their farming and stock raising activities. It is probably that when his parents returned to re-establish their home in Provo, late in 1880, that Don accompanied them.
After his mother died, he then being seventeen years of age, it is reported tht he joined the fmaiy of his Aunt Mary Ann Hooper in Salt Lake City. In 1888 he moved to Ogden, and during the next years was engaged in business activity there and in Provo with varying financial success.
May 5, 1898, Don enlisted in the Utah Light Artillery, Battery B, of the United States Army at Fort Douglas, for service in the Spanish American War, and went to the Phillipines. There he soon was stricken with a serious disease, as were ninety percent of all casualties in that war, probably amoebic dystentery from which he did not recover. He was honorably discharged at the Presidio in San Francisco, August 16, 1899. Returning home after that hospitalization he was nursed in the homes of his brother, George, in Salt Lake City and sister, Nellie Alexander, in Provo. His funeral was held in Nellie's home with interment in the Provo cemetery.
