Lewis Henry Coville (May 22, 1835[a] – May 9, 1914) was a wealthy American pioneer in Waushara County, Wisconsin.
The family moved to Wisconsin when Coville was three years old, settling in the early frontier town of Ashton, Dodge County.
[2][better source needed] Seven years later, he traded this property for a 120-acre grazing farm in Warren, Waushara County.
Starting with only 1.5 acres of cleared land and a modest log cabin, he transformed the property into a prosperous operation over the years, focusing on stock-raising and later expanding into dairy farming.
[3] He was the great-grandfather of Margaret Lucille Coville, who was born in Philadelphia in 1919 and married the noted minister Ralph Phillip Hughes.
