pressed his intentions to marry Mary Lawne, a former maid-servant o f Mis-
tress Margaret Brent who arrived in 1683 with four maid-servants. Inasmuch
as James Courtney and his prospective bride both entered Maryland i n1638,
it was possible that they came over in the same ship and that the rom ance
was culminated during the voyage. On May 29, 1639 in expressing hi sinten-
tions to marry, he stated that there was no precontract to any othe rwoman
and that there was no impediment of consanguinity or apprenticeship . He
gave his bond for 5000 pounds of tobacco. He frequently gave his pro xy

"COL. ED COYNE RETIRES AFTER 36-YEAR SERVICE"

" Lt. Col. Edmund P. Coyne, brother of Leo C. and W. J. Coyne ofMitchell, recently completed 36 years of military service, but isspending two more months in service as an enlisted airman.
The colonel retired from active duty during the latter part of Octoberin ceremonies at Greenville, Mississippi Air Force Base, where he waswing adjutant. His 36 years in the armed forces included both NationalGuard and active duty time.
Hitting retirement age a scant two months before he achieved 20 yearsactive duty, the colonel re-enlisted as an airman to enable him to retireas a Lieutenant Colonel with its accompanying benefits.
Col. Coyne is a native of Hanson County and attended St. ThomasMilitary Academy, St. Paul, MN, and was graduated from South Dakota StateCollege as an ROTC honor graduate there.

In August, 2004, I received an email from Olivia Coyne (address undernotes for William Coyne) and, later, mailed documents and photographsincluding 25 pages of descendency informaton. I have included thatinformation here as it was provided by Olivia.:

"Michael C. Coyne was born in 1835 in Corrick Fergus, Dublin, Ireland,and died November 21, 1908, in Ethan, Davison County, South Dakota. Hemarried Bridget Collins in 1854 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire,England. She was born December 25, 1837 in Tuam, Galway, Ireland, anddied September 8, 1907, in Ethan, Davison County, South Dakota.

His obituary was printed in the Ethan Enterprise, published by J.L.Donahue, on November 16, 1908:
"Sudden Death! Michael Coyne succumbs to heart failure last Saturdaymorning. (here describes his last hours) The funeral was held from theJohn Clement home Monday at 10 o'clock when all that was mortal ofMichael was carried to Holy Trinity Church, followed by his sorrowingsons and their families, where Father Brones performed the sad rites ofthe Catholic Church over him......Michael Coyne was born in 1835 inCarrick Fergus, County Dublin, Ireland. While still a boy he moved toEngland where he lived in Wolverhampton for 20 years. There he wasmarried at the age of 19 to Bridget Collins. To the union was born ninechildren, three of them living at this writing: Michael J. Coyne, andThomas H. Coyne of the place and John Coyne of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Inthe year of 1870 the family moved to Ft. Dodge, Iowa where a residence ofone year was made. Again a move was made to Yankton where the deceasedfiled on a claim near Lesterville. Ten years were passed there, whenanother move was made to a farm in Hutchinson County, where he resideduntil six years ago, when, finding age coming on and having acquiredenough to pass their old days in quiet, he and his faithful wife movedtheir cottage to this town and took up their residence here.
"Perhaps no man in this community has done as much hard work duringhis life as Michael Coyne. Being deprived by poverty and severeconditions imposed by an unscrupulous Government of an opportunity to getan education, his life was beset with greater handicaps than that of anordinary mortal. Yet he overcame all of his difficulties.
"During all of his life he was a devout Catholic and a regularattendant at Mass when conditions would permit. It is not our office toeulogize his life and character. A humble, lowly, God-fearing citizen,always a provident husband and thoughtful father. HIs life has been longand useful. His death occuring November 21, 1908 makes him 73 yearsold. He finished more than the alloted "Three score and ten", yet hisabrupt taking off has caused a pall of sorrow and darkness to settle overhis family."

"Notes for Michael C. Coyne:

"Born in County Galway, (???) Western Ireland about 1835. Always claimedhe was 3 years old the "Night of the Big Blow", a disaster that wiped outentire families in that area. He was the only survivor in his family andwas then taken and raised by a Grandmother who apparently and eventuallytook him to England. Possibly to London as he was married there toBridget Collins in due course. Evidently he later moved toWolverhampton, about 90 miles north of London where he worked in coalmines knocking out coal in narrow horizontal seams far below the surface,some of which were too narrow for him to crawl into. Son Michael, thenabout 12 years old was small enough to crawl into the narrow seams anddig out the coal that his father could not reach. Apparently they werepaid by the quantity of coal that they dig out. About 1860 the fatherworked passage on a sailing ship to America and located in Ft. Dodge,Iowa, working in strip coal mining until he was able to bring his familyto the USA. Later they moved to St. Louis where Michael Sr. was employedon the river boats, New Orleans to St. Paul and vice versa. Bridgit wasnot happy in St. Louis so with children, Michael Jr., Patrick, John andThomas, all born in England, and Mary, born in the USA, the famiyfollowed the land rush into South Dakota where homestead filing was madeabout 20 miles north of Yankton, completely surrounded by otherhomesteaders of Teutonic and Bohemian extraction who resented any Irishin their midst. However their children maturing and Michael Jr., theeldest having married one of the "opposition" and filing on a 2quarter-section homestead about 40 miles further north adjoining that ofson Michael Jr. where they lived and farmed profitably until about 1905when, with all of their children gone and time taking its toll, he andBridgit moved, house and all, into Ethan, S.D. where they remained untiltheir deaths. Michael Sr. on 11-20-1908 and Bridgit on 9-7-1907, aged 71and 69 years respectively. Michael Coyne Sr. had no schooling and couldneither read nor write. But he could count $$. Bridgit did all thereading for both. Mostly the IRISH WORLD, a weekly. Of their children,Patrick was last heard from and of in Lawrence, Kansas, where he had goneto find work. John died in Chicago in 1920. Thomas died in an autocrash at Murdo, SD. Mary married Douglas Culp in 1889 and died ofscarlet fever in 1890. Michael Jr. died 10-12-1926. (This was includedin a letter written from C. T. Coyne, Emery, SD dated March 18th 1963 toDr. M. J. Clarke)"

Information was received from a client of James J. Sparks, RosalieCoyne who was a cousin of William Coyne. She adivsed that the paternalgrandparents of William Coyne were Michael Coyne and Bridget Collins from
Galway, Ireland. The 1920 census for Ethan, SD states that William Jr.'smother was born in Austria and spoke German and that his father, MichaelSr. was born in England.

"Life History of Mrs. Rosa Freidel Coyne"

Death on June 9, 1943, of Rosa Coyne, widow of the late Michael J.Coyne of Worthen Township, brought blessed relief from many years ofsuffering and marked the close of a long and useful life for one ofHanson County's earliest pioneers.
Rosa, daughter of Joseph and Anna Freidel, was born January 28,1861, in Seibersdorf, Bohemia; and died June 9, 1943 at Sacred HeartHospital in Yankton, SD, aged 82 years, 4 months and 11 days, intermentbeing made June 11, 1943, in the Catholic cemetery at Ethan, SD., fromthe home of her son, Leo C. Coyne,of that place.
In 1866, the family, consisting of parents, two sons and twodaughters, emigrated to America and settled on a farm near Waterloo,Wisconsin, from whence, after six years of residence and lured by promiseof free homes on prarie lands further west, the family arrived atYankton, SD, on November 17, 1872, and residence soon thereafter was madeon a homestead near Lesterville, SD. It was here that Rosa matured toyoung womanhood amid stern and character-building pioneer times andevents and here in 1882 she was united in marriage with Michael J. Coyneand to this union seven children were born, all of whom survive her withthe exception of a daughter who died in infancy.
In the spring of 1883, the young couple established themselves ontheir own homestead in Worthern Township in Hanson County where, by hardlabor, persistence and thrift, they acquired adjoining lands, knittingthemselves and their children into the substantial and progressivecommunity structure of their day until 1919 they retired from active farmlife and took up residence in Ethan, SD.
Here relief from the arduous existence of earlier years andenjoyment of fruits of their labors was short-lived for in October 1926,her husband passed away and the widow thereafter lived alone in the Ethanhome until 1935 when, her health failing, she spent intermittent periodsduring the next two years with families of her children and in thehospital at Parkston.
In 1937 she became a patient at Sacred Heart Hospital at Yankton,where after six years of resignation to the inevitable, she departed thislife fortified with the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church to whichshe had always so faithfully subscribed. All of her children werepresent at her bedside and funeral with the exception of Robert E. Coynewho was unable to arrive from California in the short time permitted.
She leaves to mourn her passing five sons and one daughter, namelyRobert E. Coyne, Albany, California; Charles T. Coyne, Emery, SD; Mrs.Anna Clarke, Chicago, Ill; William J. Coyne, Mitchell, SD, Major EdmundP. Coyne, Sioux Falls, SD; and Leo C. Coyne, of Ethan, SD. She alsoleaves seventeen grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren, one sister,Mrs. Joseph Simon, and a brother, Albert S. Freidel, of Lesterville, SDand a brother, Charles Freidel of Ethan...."
