Coleman, William A
William A. Coleman was born in Red River County, Texas, in 1862, raised on a farm and had only the advantages of the common schools. In 1880, when he was 18 years of age, he came to the Indian Territory and settled at what is now Pleasant Hill, in this county, and for many years pursued his occupation of farming. Later, he married Lou Anna Morris, who was of Indian blood, and became a citizen of the Choctaw Nation. To his farming operations he very soon added the mercantile business and was considered successful in both lines of business. Mr. Coleman was the father of a large family of children, kind and indulgent, clever in business, loyal to his friends, and a progressive citizen. Prior to his death, in December, 1915, he had accumulated considerable property, and was one of the most prominent men in McCurtain County's financial world.
