Henry Coonradt came to Lincoln township in 1872, locating on section 4, which was wild land, but is at present well improved with good buildings. He was born in Brunswick, Rensselaer Co , N. Y., Sept. 29, 1817, and was married there in 1837, to Polly Cody. They were blessed with, four children—Isaiah, Salathiel, Noah and Lester. In 1855 they moved to Dane Co., Wis., where Mrs. Coonradt died. He returned to York State and married Lavinie Daggett, a native of Grafton, Rensselaer county. They moved to Wisconsin, where they lived five years, then returned to New York, but only remained a few months, when they again returned to their old home in Dane county; from there they moved to Kansas, and thence to Mitchell county, their present home. By his second wife he had seven children, five of whom are living—Emma F., Frank, Delilah L., Lillie A. and Freddie B. Ida N. died Dec. 15, 1864, aged three years and five months; Philip H. died August, 1870, aged one year and four months.
