Joshua Coe « Maryland Obituaries

Death of an Old Defender.- Mr. Joshua Coe, and old defender of the war of 1812, died on Monday, at the advanced age of ninety-eight, at the residence of his son-in-law, 174 North Caroline street. Mr. Coe was a resident of Baltimore county up to about eighteen months ago, when he came to Baltimore to reside with a married daughter. He was a copper refiner by trade and worked for about forty-years at the Gunpowder Copper Works, being able to work until about five years ago. He retained his sight and hearing to the last, the only signs of decay being a partial failure of memory the past year or two. His health was so good, he said, he never took ten cents worth of medicine in his life. His remians will be taken to-day to Baltimore county for burial.
