September 20, 1984 — Coe Day slated for Sunday at Wakefield
With a history spanning nearly five decades, Wakefield physician Dr. C. M. (Max) Coe will be in the spotlight this Sunday during "Dr. C. M. Coe Day" inn Wakefield. The Wakefield Community Club has designated Sunday, Sept. 23 as a day for all residents in the community and surrounding area to honor Dr. Coe for his many years of medical service. A reception in his honor will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Wakefield Community School mini gym. At age 75, Coe has been doctoring residents of the Wakefield area since 1937 when he joined the practice of his father, Dr. Charles B. Coe. Forty-seven years and an estimated 3,000 births later, he says he's ready to "sort of back away."
"I'm backing away gradually," said Dr. Coe, adding that he wants to see that the community hospital is in good hands before he officially retires.
