Marvin Lewis Coble was born on September 11, 1951, to Lewis Howard and Harriet Elaine (Engelsgjerd) Coble. Marv attended school in Broken Bow and graduated from Broken Bow High School in 1970. Marv worked with his father Howard doing construction work and farming all his life. During the winter Marv would plow snow, clearing the parking lots of local businesses. Marvin was married to Janet “Lefty” Behrends in 1972. Janet died in 2005. Marv continued to make his home in Broken Bow.
