Article about Coady's love of genealogy (This article was written 2 or 3 years ago and it goes with Coady's picture.) |
Coady wrote this poem one day before the blast and two days before his death for his maternal Uncles' funeral who died prior to Aug 1, but the Uncle's funeral was postponed. |
Remembering Coady send your memories |

A Coady Hatlen Memorial has been started at the Carlinville
Library. In the 15 years Coady was here with us, he set the bar high on
what it means to be a volunteer. The Carlinville Library Board met and
discussed how best to honor and memorialize Coady Hatlen, who volunteered
so many hours in the Library's Genealogy Room. They decided to set up a
scholarship in Coady's name for an outstanding volunteer each year, someone
beyond merely volunteering a few hours here and there, in short, someone
like Coady.
Checks should be made payable to the Carlinville Public Library, with a notation on the "memo" (or subject) line to indicate Coady Hatlen Mem. or Hatlen Mem.

My husband and I attended the Macoupin Co Genealogical
Convention a couple years ago. While in the area we visited the Carlinville
Library and met Coady in the Genealogy room. What a nice teenager. . In
a short time he was chatting with us and helping in our research! He was
an all around great kid! Anyone would be happy to have a son like him.
Upon leaving my husband asked him if there was an ice cream shop around
and he said yes - my husband handed him some money and told him to take
a friend out for ice cream and thanked him for helping us. We said goodbye
and Coady, with a big smile on his face, shook our hands. He was a joy
to meet.
