In her fifteenth year the family removed to Richland County, Ohio, where she lived until 1854, when, her father having died, she came with her mother and her brother, Wm. R. Scott, to Iowa and settled in Wapello county, near the town of Kirkville. In 1857 she went to Cedar county, Iowa, where she afterwards formed the acquaintance of Rev. Andrew Coleman, of the Upper Iowa Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, to whom she was married January 3, 1861.
For the last nine years she has been tenderly ministered to by her niece, Miss Mary J. Scott. Mother Coleman was the tenth one and only survivor of a family of eleven children, two of whom were well known here, Wm. R. Scott and Silas Scott, the latter of whom filled, among other offices, the position of mayor of the city, and who died some years since in Colorado....Her parents were at one time members of the Presbyterian Church, but later united with the Methodist Episcopal Church.
