SAMUEL D. COAKLEY, M.D., was born February 3, 1855, and is the third of
four sons and one daughter born to George and Martha J. (Durham) Coakley.
George Coakley was born on Pitman Creek in 1821, was a substantial and
leading farmer and slave-holder.  Mrs. Martha Coakley was born in Taylor
County in 1828, and is a daughter of Samuel M. Durham.  Dr. Coakley was
born on Brush Creek, Green County, was reared on a farm, and became
sufficiently advanced in the common schools to enable him to enter Center
College, Danville, at the age of eighteen years, two years later
attending school at Canmer, Hart County.  In the meantime he studied
medicine and entered and graduated from the University of Louisville,
medical department, in 1878, and located where he now resides, ten miles
northwest of Greensburg, where he has had a successful and extensive
practice.  He is a member of the county board of health, and also runs a
farm of 160 acres of fine land, which he has embellished with a fine
residence and substantial outbuildings.  He married September 18, 1878,
Nancy V. Ingram, of Taylor County, a daughter of Walter W. and Bettie W.
(Edwards) Ingram, natives of Adair and Green Counties respectively.  To
this happy union four children have been born: an infant and Ada
(deceased), Walter G. and Bettie J.  The Doctor and wife are members of
the Baptist Church, and he is a strong advocate of the temperance cause.
