My deadend: John H. Coffee. I've a copy of his obit as it appeared in a
paper. Alas, no publication date nor name of paper listed, but at the top
"KINGSTON, Marshall Co., Okl"torn. The following appears to be on the
front page:
A PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES AWAY
Death of J. H. Coffee After an Illness of a Short Time.
Last Monday night, after an illness of about two weeks, Mr. J. H. Coffee,
one of our oldest citizens, laid down his lifes burdens and went to his
last rest. He was well thought of by all our people, a man of honor, integrity
and uprightness. He was loyal to the church of his faith, the Christian
church. He was born in Mt. Sterling, Ky., March 9, 1850, going from there
to Missouri in his early manhood, where he was married to Miss Nancy C.
James, Sept. 1, 1872. Two children were born to them, John Coffee, now
residing in New Mexico, and Mrs. Lizzie Page, now living in Missouri. His
wife died at their Missouri home August 9, 1895, soon after which he came
to this section and located near here. About eleven years ago he purchased
property in town and opened up the business which he conducted to the time
of his death. April 12, 1912 he was married to Mrs. Iona Hight of Denison,
who survives him. He was buried Tuesday afternoon in the cemetery here.
The funeral services were held in the new church of which he was so proud,
Rev. J. H. Lawson of Denison, conducting the services. Mr. John Coffee,
of New Mexico, and little daughter, and Mrs. Martha ______ (? unreadable
as the obit's fold was here), his sister, and her daughter, Mrs. Ida Thompson,
of Texarkana, Ark., Mr. Tom Coffee and family of Madill, and Joe Coffee,
of Calera, nephews of deceased, were here to attend the funeral.
