From the History of Holt County, circa 1917, Page 410:

"Coleman W. David, undertaker at Craig, has been in that business here for the past twenty-eight years. He is one of the country\\\'s enterprising citizens and the son of one of the pioneers who made the early history of Holt county. He was born in what is now Union Township March 3, 1862, and has lived in that township practically ever since.

He is the son of Charles David, a native of Indiana, who came to Holt County in the fall of 1842, when settlers were few, and scattered in this part of the country.

Coleman W. David, after receiving his education, or in 1884, took up the carpenter trade in Craig, and four years later turned his attention to furniture and undertaking in which he has since been engaged. He is the oldest undertaker, in point of years of service, in the county. To thoroughly fit himself for his profession he has attended lectures and taken training in some of the best schools in the country. He is a graduate of Professor Williams\\\' School of Science of Embalming, of Kansas City, Kansas.

Mr. David has been married twice. The first time to Hattie Pearce, a native of Indiana and the daughter of Joseph and Sarah Pearce. She died June 11, 1910, at the age of 50 years. There were no children of this marriage. He was married the second time to Miss Helen Wellman, who was born in Craig, and is the daughter of William Wellman. To them has been born one daughter, Harriett Rebecca, born October 15, 1915.
