The 1910 census, which lists them as living on La Farge, shows that they had a son, Joe, who was born in 1902, and also had a Slovak boarder named John Sakaly who worked as a coal miner. The 1920 census shows the couple still living on La Farge and Joseph Sr. still working as a coal miner. In 1942, Joseph Jasko sold this house to George and Rose Coet. The extended Coet family of Louisville, which was from France, came to Louisville from Illinois. George Coet was born in France in 1901 and married Rose Boulanger in Illinois in 1926. George Coet died in 1984 and Rose Coet died in 2000. (Relatives Charles and Mildred Coet owned and lived at 809 La Farge for several decades.) Besides George and Rose Coet living at this location, 817 La Farge was also the home of George's mother, Martha Coet, who appears to have lived here alone as a widow throughout at least the 1950s. She had been born in France in 1881 and died in 1971. The current owner, Timothy Hancock, who purchased this house in 1990, has stated that he added the second floor to the house.
