From the Report of the Librarian of Congress:
"It is with regret that we report the death on April 29, 1932 of Charles Washington Coleman after a service of 33 years in the reading room at the Library of Congress. Mr. Coleman joined the staff July 1, 1899, as curator of the Toner collection after an association with the College of William and Mary as librarian from 1893-1898. He was of distinguished Virginian ancestry, an alumnus of the University of Virginia, and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
At the time of his death he was the assistant superintendent of the reading room and had had under his immediate charge for many years our interlibrary loan service. To his library duties Mr. Coleman brought a culture and a literary appreciation that has left a deep impression both upon the service of the library as a whole and individually upon those fortunate to be his associates. As an author of both verse and prose his contributions were welcomed by the more important literary and historical publications. And he was honored by being selected as poet at important historical celebrations, notably the bicentennial of the college of William and Mary, 1893, and the two hundred and eighty-eighth anniversary of the settlement of Jamestown, 1895."
