The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, December 31, 1908
It is with a great sense of sadness the Leader records the death of W.G.
COFFMAN, at the home of his son, T.B. COFFMAN, in Washington Township, which occurred last Friday, the funeral being held on Sunday and interment in the Russell Cemetery.
For many years the COFFMAN family and that of the writer lived close
neighbors -- in more senses than one. Not only were these family seats only
a quarter of a mile apart on adjoining farms but the social relations were
so close that during all those years there was never an unkind word spoken
between them or an unneighborly thought that we know of. MR. COFFMAN was
one of the kindest and most generous hearted men we ever knew and while in
after years these homes were broken up owing to the changes of time and
fates of human existences and separations followed yet many were the time
when the mind reverted to the days of childhood and a longing for the days
of happy communion which could never return as they once were. Several
months since when he was stricken with paralysis the fact was mentioned in
these columns, together with a brief sketch of the home life and the early
association; his companionship of the boys, chaste conversation, lively
disposition and unstinted fidelity to his obligations. They yet form a
shroud of sunshine on the landscape of existence and when cares weigh heavy
it is a pleasure to return and renew the associations of old if only in
memory. Who has not had such feelings. If there be not such the poverty of
life is apparent.
The following is the sketch of his life:
WILLIAM G. COFFMAN was born in Putnam County, Indiana, February 11, 1833,
and died Dec. 25, 1908, aged 75 years, 10 months and 14 days. With his
parents he emigrated to Appanoose County, Iowa, in 1849, where he grew to
manhood. At the age of 21 he was united in marriage to TRYPHENA EVANS, with
whom he lived until her death, which occurred Sept. 25, 1898. To this union
were born four children, NANCY MARGARET, who died in childhood, THOMAS
BENTON, with whom he made his home since the death of his beloved wife;
FRANCIS MARION, now of Lawton, Okla.; and EMMA FLORENCE, who died Dec. 10, 1894. After his marriage he located in Washington Township, where he reared his family. His parents, also his brothers and sisters have all preceded
him except one sister, POLLY ANN JONES, now of Moravia. At the age of 20 years he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church but subsequently took membership in Trinity class of the Evangelical Church and at the time of his death was a member of the United Evangelical Church at Trinity, in
Washington Township.

Anna,of abt 1811, originally from Virginia, with husband David Coffman moved to Montgomery County, Ohio, pre 1834. There, near to the old soldiers home in west Dayton, Ohio,raised perhaps 13 children: Sarah Ann abt 1834, Hanna Jane 1835, Mary E 1838, Fidelia 1840, Jacob 1842, twins: David and Lucinda 4-11-1845, John Allen, 11-4-1848, Diana 1850, ,Anna Elizabeth of Sept. 1853. Yes I do not have all of them.
The father David of abt 1803, died in Shelby county,Ohio Dec 16, 1891,and is probably buried in an unmarked grave in the old Newport-Reams cemetery. Anna may have remarried one Edward Hoover 22 Aug 1893 by Stewart C. Wrights, clergyman.in Shelby county,Ohio. This family had had connections with the Hoover family. Now to try to find an obit with perhaps the names of her parents,which were not often mentioned in those days. Or perhaps the church records which was most likely Methodist.

I am looking for any relatives of my grandmother, Catherine Coffman. I believe she lived from approx, 1900-1931. She married my grandfather Franklin Gardner and they had 4 children: Herbert Norman, Nancy VIrginia, MaryJane and Francis. She died when Francis was only about 6 weeks old. I am not sure if they lived in Virginia or Indiana at that time. Would appreciate any information.
Thank You

Is the new book available from the Lancaster Mennonite a reprint of the same
book offered on eBay?

Rich,
I don't have much on Sarah. She was the only child of James E. Coffman (4-23-1850 to 8-10-1874) & my GrAunt Phoebe Ann Miller.The Bible records don't state where they were married or where Sarah Elizabeth Coffman was born.
Phoebe married Marion Davis 2-17-1876 & she died in Chicago in 1922. Hope some of this helps.
