FELIX G. COATS. - The subject of this sketch, whose portrait appears in the body of this history, is a native of Callaway County, Missouri; was born August 9, 1828, and resided in his birth-place until seven years of age. His parents then moved to Miller county, same State, and there abode for ten years, at the end of which time he moved to Johnson County, where our subject dwelt and attended the common schools until his removal to California. May, 1849, he, with his father, (now a resident of this county) equipped and provisioned a “Prairie Schooner,” and, with ox-teams, joined a train that was then making up at Independence to cross the plains to seek their fortunes in the gold fields of this State, arriving in Grass Valley, Nevada county, after a pleasant trip of six months, in September, 1849. He immediately embarked in mining on the American river, which he followed for a short time. Mr. Coats then purchased some mules and started a pack-train from Sacramento to Stony Bar. This he continued for about three months, when he again engaged in mining, which he followed until the Fall of 1852, when he came to Contra Costa county, sojourned for a short time, then returned to the mines, and in the Spring of 1853 again came to this county and purchased his present farm of three hundred and ninety acres, where he now resides, in the Tassajara valley. Mr. Coats also owns six hundred and forty acres, three miles east of his residence. Was united in marriage, in Tassajara, February 23, 1860, to Miss Levina Doggett, a native of Arkansas. By this union they have six children-Nolen, James L., Bethel S., Ella, May, and Jennie.

FELIX COATS
As the years go by the pioneers of Contra Costa County are one by one answering the last roll-call, and few of the early trail-blazers now remain. The latest summons by death was on June 10, 1916, when Felix Grundy Coats, of Tassajara, was called. The end came to the pioneer at his home after an illness extending over a period of several weeks, and was directly due to the infirmities of old age. Felix Grundy Coats was a native of Callaway County, Missouri, where he was born on August 9, 1828, being at his death nearly eighty-eight years old. In May, 1849, with a number of emigrants, he left Missouri for California, and in September of the same year the party arrived at Grass valley. Felix Coats then began mining on the American River, and later operated a pack-train between Sacramento and Stony Bar. In the fall of 1852 he came to Contra Costa County and remained a short time, returning to the mines. In the following year he returned to Contra Costa County, purchasing the ranch of three hundred and ninety acres in Tassajara, where he resided the remainder of his days.

On February 23, 1860, Felix Coats married Miss Lavina Doggett, of Tassajara. Three sons and three daughters survive their father. They are W. Nolan Coats, of St. Helena; James L. Coats. Inter service inspector, of Stockton; Bethel S. Coats, of San Jose; Mrs. Ella Seiler and Mrs. Jennie White, of San Francisco; Mrs. Mary Horton, of Tassajara.
