- George Grenfell Coy was born in 1883 in Grenfell, Assiniboia, North West Territory, Canada. As he was the first white child to be born in the territory, he was given the name of the town. He was ill with tuberculosis for many years and was sent to Albuquerque, New Mexico for his health and worked in a lumber mill there. He got no better so returned to his parents home in Seattle, Washington where he was bed ridden for quite a while and isolated from the rest of the family because of the risk of contagion. George died at the family home at 4218 Latona Ave. NE., Seattle, Washington on 20 November, 1910, when he was only 27 years old. He never married. George was the firstborn to Leverett and Frances.
