Michael Coleman (additional information from previous entry)

Michael Coleman, aged 77 years, retired farmer and stockman of Pendleton County, died at 12:40 Tuesday morning, April 2, 1946, at St. Elizabeth Hospital, Covington, where he had been a patient for the past four weeks.

He was the eldest son of the late Patrick and Mary Kelly Coleman and was born at the Coleman homestead near Levingood on November 2, 1868. He married Miss Katherine Sweeney in 1921. She preceded him in death in 1925.

Mr. Coleman was one of Pendleton County's most valuable citizens, being a gentleman of the old school; reticent, dignified and courteous in manner and yet a keen observer and helper wherever his assistance was needed. His interest in farm work was maintained to the end. He was successful as a farmer and especially was he successful in pleasant dealings with his fellowman. He was humble, patient and thoroughly versed in the enjoyment of solitude, mediatation and prayer. He spent the greater part of his life on the farm where he grew to manhood. He was noted as an outstanding speller of the day in the schools of his neighborhood.

He is survived by his sister, Mrs. Mollie Daugherty of this city, with whom he made his home for the past year, and a niece, Mrs. Paul Woodhead; four nephews, Frank, Leslie and Harry Coleman of Falmouth and Wilbur Coleman of Deer Park, Ohio, and 12 great-nieces and nephews.

Requiem high mass was sung by Rev. J. M. Lelen at St. Xavier's Catholic Church on Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock, where he has been a faithful member all of his life. He always put his church and all of its activities before all other things in his life. He was a daily attendant at mass whenever conditions permitted. Serving the funeral mass were his two great-nephews, Frankie Coleman and David Woodhead. Burial took place in the Catholic Cemetery with John A. Woodhead & Son in charge of the arrangements.

The pallbearers were his four nephews, Frank, Leslie, Wilbur and Harry Coleman, and William and Ralph Hetterman.
