She served on many boards and helped found a group that became the Missouri Federation of Women’s Clubs. She was born in Pennsylvania. Her husband Kersey Coates was also born in Pennsylvania and practiced law there. He moved to the area that became Kansas City Missouri about 1854 where he was a director of a railroad partner in a bank and a real estate investor. He developed the bluffs on the west side the area that became known as "Quality Hill". During the civil war he was with a Pennsylvania unit of the Union Army. Union troops in Kansas City stabled their horses in what was the foundation of the coming Coates House Hotel that had been boarded over. His hotel opened about 1868. In January 1978 there was a large fire in the building killing 16 people. It was very cold at the time and the water being used accumulated on a hook and ladder truck causing the frame to break from the weight. The building was restored and still stands today at the corner of 10th & Broadway in downtown Kansas City Missouri. Hudson-Kimberly hardcover

A well known lawyer and a woman barrister are secretaries.

1910List2847Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania; and others 1910. Eleven photographs approximately 7 x 9 ½ inch and smaller. With stamps for Brown Brothers Illustrations Bureau and E.J. Reily verso; most with captions verso. Most with chipping and wear at edges; overall good. Open-air schools became popular in the United States in the early 20th century in response to public health crises including tuberculosis.1 Conducting lessons in open-air classrooms reduced the transmission of diseases which allowed many children to attend school despite their often chronic illnesses. Offered here are eleven photographs of open-air schools three of which are identified as the Phebe Anna Thorne Model School at Bryn Mawr.<br /> <br /> The Phebe Anna Thorne Model School opened in 1913 under the direction of the College’s president Carey Thomas using funds donated by Samuel Thorne in memory of his sister Phebe Anna.2 The Thornes were an affluent New York Quaker family; Phebe Anna 1828–1909 was the only daughter to survive to adulthood and was a philanthropist and supporter of progressive social causes.3 <br /> <br /> The school was part of Bryn Mawr’s Department of Education which trained its students in teaching younger pupils rather than those of highschool or college age – the students in most of these photos are probably in about 4th or 5th grade.3 It also allowed testing of more cutting-edge pedagogical practices: the structure of the school was quite experimental including open-air classrooms outdoor naptime a flexible curriculum and less formal assessment. <br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the history of education especially experimental pedagogy.<br /> <br /> 1 Sherman C.
