residence of his son-in-law, Richard Mather, June 19th, Dr.
Caleb Coates, expired at the ripe age of 90. Dr. C. Coates was
the brother of the late and lamented Dr. Jesse Coates, and the
only surviving child of Moses Coates, the founder of our
flourishing Coatesville. Dr C. Coates, was one of the pioneer
of dental science and practiced the profession over half a
century. He is believed to have been the inventor of porcelain
teeth, and had at one period a very large patronage. For
honesty, truthfulness and high moral tone the Dr. never had a
superior. In the death of this second son of Moses Coates we
have the total extinction of this branch, of a large,
honorable, and well known family. (Coatesville Union.) (C-1615 EL)
