"He was brought to Cowley county, Kans., when one year old, and there grew to manhood. He came to Comanche county in 1912 and engaged in farming. Two years later, he moved to Lake City, Kans., where he farmed for one year.

They moved to Ashland in 1929, where they operated the Hudson Hotel for a period of three years, then moved to Fowler, Colo., where they operated a hotel for one year. On September 16, 1933, they took charge of the Coates Hotel in Coldwater, which they operated until the time of Mr. Darnell's death.
