Oldest resident Honored as Century-Plus Woman of Ames
Mrs. Coates, born December 13, 1806, at New York Hospital, is celebrated as Ames township’s oldest resident. Surrounded by her daughters at 47 North Mulberry, she recalls early life, politics, and family ties, with a long lineage of longevity. Her great grandmother lived to 106, and her family moved from New York to Ohio, then to this city where she now remains homebound but active in memory and conversation.
