Betty,
I need more specific information to find Mary E. Coil.
When was she born? Who were her parents? Siblings?
There are many Coils in Clay Co., IL. There are also many Mary E. Coils. I
need more specific information in order to find out which Mary you are
looking for because I don't have any Raley surnames in my files. If the
marriage occurred after 1900 it is unlikely that I would have that
information but, I might have Mary's lines back many generations prior to
her marriage.

FRANKLIN J. COIL, SR.
Franklin J. Coil, Sr., holds such a place in the esteem and confidence of
the people of Dawes county that a work such as this would be sadly deficient
if a sketch of his life did not appear in its pages. He was born in
Allamakee county, Iowa, in 1837, and is a son of Jackson G. and Sarah
(Morgan) Coil, pioneer settlers of both Iowa and Nebraska.
The family settled in Burt county, Nebraska, in 1867, where our subject's
father bought land the year previous at 60 cents per acre, and which is now
worth as high as $100 per acre. He engaged extensively in farming and stock
raising. Here our subject received the early training in the tilling of the
soil and the raising of stock which has placed him among the most successful
ranchmen of this western country.
Mr. Coil and Miss Sarah Richardson were united in marriage in 1877. Her
father Levi Richardson, was one of the first settlers of Burt county,
Nebraska, and an early settler in Dawes county, to which place he came in
1886. Here he died in 1905. Her mother's maiden name was Emma Armstrong.
Mrs. Coil's parents were both natives of Ohio. The union of Mr. and Mrs.
Coil was blessed with twelve children. namely: George, Charles, Frank,
William, Fred, Sarah, Morris, Mary, Robert and Alice. Burt and Ellis are
deceased.
After his marriage Mr. Coil bought a farm for himself, and remained in Burt
county until 1895. He had made a trip to Dawes county in 1886, where he
filed and proved up a claim, but it was not until 1895 that be moved his
family to their present home, which is located in section 12, township 30,
range 50.
Mr. Coil, Sr., is now the proprietor of a ranch comprising an area of one
thousand acres of choice land, while some of his children have land
amounting to one thousand and five hundred acres in this vicinity. He has
greatly improved his ranch, having fenced and cross-fenced it, and has
erected a substantial and commodious residence. He has about two hundred
acres under cultivation. Mr. Coil is recognized as being the premier
stockraiser of this part of Dawes county, and has been associated with the
Agricultural College of Lincoln, where he was instrumental in the
introduction of Russian dry weather grains. He engages extensively in the
raising of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs. In 1906 he topped the Omaha
market for cattle, and in 1907 his cattle sold for export. He has attained
an exceptional success in the raising of cattle and sheep, and takes great
pride in the fact that his stock is the finest to be found in any section of
the country. He has had a wide experience in feeding cattle and sheep, and
has the reputation of turning out the best grades that can be had.
In politics, Mr. Coil, Sr., always adhered strongly to Republican
principles. Since coming to Dawes county he has been prominently identified
in local affairs, and is at present committee man of the precinct in which
he lives, and school director. He is also president of the Highland Center
Telephone Company.
Mr. Coil's progress towards a competency and financial independence has been
rapid. He has never been afraid of the hardest work and by the exercise of
thrift and prudence he has attained a success which should be a fitting
example to the young men who read his sketch of useful career. He belongs to
many fraternity orders, the Ancient Order of United Workmen and Ancient,
Free and Accepted Masons, and is also postmaster at Hough postoffice located
in his residence. His son, F. J. Coil, Jr., was united in marriage October
9. 1907, to Miss Rosalie McLain, born in Iowa, daughter of F. T. McLain and
Rosa (Minkler) McLain, of American stock, both being among the first
settlers in Iowa coming to Dawes county, Nebraska, in 1902. Frank, Jr., owns
a fine ranch joining his father's and he is one of the rising young men of
Dawes county today and is destined to win prominence and success in all his
endeavors.
