MRS. MARY ADELIE DIUGUID COAKLEY:  Mrs. W. S. Coakley, wife of the 
present pastor of the Walnut Street Baptist Church, was born at 
Ghent, Kentucky, and is the daughter of Hiram and Emma McCann 
Diuguid.  Her educational advantages were unusually good and she 
became a graduate of the Ghent High School and Georgetown College, 
Georgetown, Kentucky, receiving the A.B. Degree from the last 
mentioned institution.
	She was converted in the year 1902 and was baptized into the 
fellowship of the Ghent Baptist Church by Rev. Robert Hubbard, the 
pastor.  During all of her Christian life she has been a very active 
worker in the Churches to which she has belonged.  In that time she 
has taught in all of the Sunday School classes but the adult men and 
the cradle roll.  She has served as a leader of all the different 
unions in the B. T. U. and has held every office in the local W. M. 
S. groups.  Her time has likewise been given to the work of all of 
the auxiliary groups of the W. M. S., such as, the Y. W. A., R. A., 
and Sunbeams.  At different periods of time she has served as 
Superintendent of the Young People's, Junior, and Intermediate 
Departments of the Sunday School.  As Mrs. Coakley is a talented and 
accomplished musician we find her serving as pianist, organist, and 
choir director in a number of Churches in which she has held 
membership.  Her work has not been confined to the Churches 
altogether.  We note that she has served as Superintendent of the 
Nelson, Owen County, and Daviess-McLean Associational W. M. U 
Organizations.  She is filling that position at present in this 
Association, this being the second time she has been elected to fill 
that office.  For some time she served as the Young People's Leader 
in this Association.  She has also served as one of the Vice-
Presidents of the Kentucky W.M.U.
	She became the wife of Rev. W. S. Coakley on August 4, 1909, 
and is the mother of two sons and one daughter.  For particulars 
concerning the children we refer you to her husband's sketch in this 
history.
	Mrs. Coakley has proved herself to be an able leader in the 
work of the women and young people in the Churches.  Her contribution 
to the successes of her husband in his ministerial and pastoral 
labors cannot be measured.
