Cornelius Godfrey Coakley was born on August 14, 1862 in Brooklyn, New York, United States. He was the eldest son of George Washington Coakley, professor of mathematics and astronomy in the present New York University, and his wife who was Isabella Hoe Godfrey of Fishkill.
After graduating from the College of the City of New York with the degree of A. B. in 1884, Coakley began the study of medicine and in 1887 graduated from the New York University Medical School. In the same year he received the degree of A. M. from the College of the City of New York.
After serving as an interne in Bellevue Hospital in 1887-88, he was appointed director of the department of histology in the Loomis Laboratory and became lecturer on anatomy and later instructor in histology in the medical school of New York University. During these years he had become deeply interested in the study of diseases of the nose and throat, and in 1896 he resigned his laboratory positions to devote himself entirely to laryngology and rhinology. He had been appointed clinical professor of laryngology in 1893, following the resignation of William Chapman Jarvis, and in 1904 was appointed to a professorship in the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College. In 1914 he resigned this position to accept the professorship of laryngology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University. In addition to being consulting surgeon to the ear, nose, and throat service at Bellevue Hospital, Coakley was attending otolaryngologist to the Presbyterian Hospital and consultant on the staff of several other hospitals. His work was held in high esteem by his professional colleagues. As a teacher he was thorough and lucid, and though ordinarily of very grave demeanor he had a fund of quiet dry humor which made him very popular. In 1924 he delivered some lectures in Paris and was elected a corresponding fellow of the Société de Laryngologie des H"pitaux de Paris. In addition to his other professional activities he had a very large private and consulting practice. Nevertheless, he managed to indulge in his favorite outdoor sports of hunting and fishing and was also an enthusiastic golfer. Owing to ill health he spent the last few winters of his life chiefly in Florida. He died in New York of coronary thrombosis.
He contributed much to current medical literature and in 1899 published A Manual of Diseases of the Nose and Throat, which went through many editions. Coakley was especially notable for his skill in performing radical operations on the nasal accessory sinuses, and in operations on the larynx, particularly the removal of the latter when the seat of cancer. He was president of the New York Laryngological Society in 1933, and of the American Laryngological Association in 1918. He was a fellow of the American Otological Society and many other medical organizations.
