I am looking for any information about this person. She lived for most of her life in Baltimore, MD. As far as I know she was never married and had no children.

COE, Margaret Fulton, b. Dec. 25, 1893, Stewartstown, PA USA

From "The Coe Families of Maryland and Virginia" (Columbus, OH: 2002), 2 Vols., 1467 pages - page 965:

Margaret Fulton Coe, b. Dec. 25, 1893, at Stewartstown, York County, PA, daughter of Cyrus Walter and Mary Ellen (Price) Coe; d. Oct. 20, 1956, in Baltimore. She graduated from Maryland State Normal School in 1912 and completed a BS at Johns Hopkins University; later studied at Columbia University and Vassar College. Noted as a distinguished pathfinder in modern education and a friend of children and parents alike, she was associated for forty years with the Park School, a non-sectarian, independent coeducational day school, founded in 1912 in Baltimore. She is quoted as saying "every child needs to know ... that he is a valuable human being." Burial was at Druid Ridge Cemetery.

I hope this is helpful.

Thank You,

This is indeed very helpful. I actually am a teacher at The Park School and am doing research on Margaret Coe to prepare for the schools Centennial celebration in 2012. I already knew some of what you told me but I did not know where she was buried, and I had never read those quotes before. Are you related to her? Do you know if she has any surviving nieces or nephews? I'd love to make contact with someone who actually knew her.
Thanks so much for your help. It is much appreciated.

COE, Mary Caroline, b, Sept. 17, 1895, Stewartstown, PA USA

Although my family is also from Baltimore, we are unrelated to Margaret Fulton Coe and her family. Unfortunately, with the death of Margaret's sister Mary Caroline Coe in 1968, this family died completely out (biography below).

I have attached a photo of Margaret Fulton Coe.

Mary Caroline Coe, b. Sept. 17, 1895, at Stewartstown, York Co., PA; d. Oct. 31, 1968, in Baltimore. With a BA from Maryland State Normal School at Towson and a BS from Johns Hopkins University, she received her Masters Degree in Education from Harvard University in 1934. She began a career as a teacher in the Baltimore County School System in 1915. Three years later she joined the faculty of the Friends School. In 1921 she moved to the Baltimore School System, serving in a variety of teaching and administrative positions until being promoted in 1934 to the post of principal of the Edgar Allen Poe Elementary School, Fayette and Green Streets. In 1942 she was named principal of Hamilton Junior High School. She remained there until retiring in 1956. A firm willed woman, she was an active member of Wilson Memorial Methodist Church for many years. Before moving to the address where her death occurred, she lived at Three E 32nd Street. She and her sister earlier shared a home on Canterbury Road.

If I can be of further help in any way, please let me know.

Thank You,
