Frederick G. Coan

Frederick G. Coan (23 May 1859 – 23 March 1943) was a Christian missionary who was a witness to the Armenian Genocide. Coan served as a missionary in Persia for over 50 years. He was an author of many books including ''Yesterdays in Persia and Kurdistan'' and has provided detailed eye-witness accounts of massacres of Armenians during the Armenian Genocide. Coan believed that the number of dead during the Armenian Genocide exceeded one million people. He referred to the Ottoman government's policy towards the Armenians as one of "extermination".〔
==Early life==
Frederick Gaylord Coan was born on 23 May 1859 in Urumia, Persia (presently the capital of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran). His parents, George Whitefield and Sarah (Power) Kip Coan, were both pioneering missionaries. Coan grew up in Persia, then left for the United States for his education during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878).
At Wooster University in Wooster, Ohio, Coan studied music and planned to become a professional musician. He also met his future wife, Ida Jane Speer, a Presbyterian minister's daughter, whom Coan married in 1885 before returning to the Ottoman Empire. During his sophomore year, Coan helped organize a male quartet. He also played the organ at a local Lutheran Church where the quartet sang.〔 Upon graduating from Wooster University in 1882, his mother convinced him to give up his musical dreams and instead continue his studies in order to become a missionary and return to the Ottoman Empire. Coan thus began studies at the Western Theological Seminary. There, he met Samuel H. Kellogg, a missionary from India, who rekindled Coan's missionary spirit.〔 After graduating from the seminary, he continued his education at Princeton for two more years, graduating in 1884.〔 In 1885, Coan was ordained as a Presbyterian minister.〔
On 25 July 1885, immediately after their marriage, Coan and his wife sailed to the Middle East. The newlyweds toured Mosul and Baghdad, among other historic places, along the way.〔 In 1904, Coan took charge of the Urumia College, a position he held until 1912.〔
