PUBLISHED OBITUARY:
Died, at her home near Feesburg, July 6, 1891, Elizabeth, wife of James Coffman, aged fifty-two years, six months and twelve days. Her disease was dropsy of the heart, which caused her intense suffering during her last illness, but she bore it with Christian fortitude and resignation. When but fourteen years of age she united with the Christian Church at Antioch, Clermont County, and ever afterward lived an exemplary Christian life. She possessed a strong mind and a tender heart which together with her Christian character won her a host of friends who deeply mourn her departure. She was a faithful wife, a loving mother, and brought up her children in the fear of God. Her husband, two sons, and four daughters are in deep sorrow that her seat in the family circle is vacant and her cheerful voice hushed in the slumber of the tomb; but she has left them the comforting assurance that she has gone to dwell with the angels in glory. Her funeral services were conducgted by the writer, assisted by Rev. C. L. Singer and Rev. W. W. Bagby at Mt. Zion M. E. Church in the presence of a large congregation of mourning relatives and sympathizing friends after which, her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery nearby. (Obituary written by R. H. McDaniel)
