The Medina Tribune; Thurs., 22 Mar 1888
Thomas COLMAN, a well known farmer residing in West Shelby, died very suddenly of heart disease, at his home, on Thursday morning last, March 15th. He had been in rather poor health for a few weeks, but able to be around every day. On Wednesday evening he ate his supper, talked with his family and retired as usual, and next morning was found dead in his bed, having passed away without a struggle.
Mr. COLMAN was born in England and left there for this country just forty years, to a day, previous to his death. He first settled in the eastern part of Shelby, but twenty three years ago left there and bought the farm in West Shelby where he has since lived. His age was 71 years. He was the second child in a family of 13 children, six of whom still survive him.
At the age of 28 years he was united in marriage with Miss Susanna AMES, with whom he lived for 39 years, she having died in Nov. 1881. He leaves a family of three sons and three daughters, all of whom are grown up. When Mr. and Mrs. COLMAN came to this country they were poor laboring people, but by hard work and economy they succeeded in securing an excellent well furnished farm, provided well for his family, left his children a nice competency, and also did his part in public and benevolent enterprises. Mr. Colman was an industrious, quiet, peaceable, honest man; a good father, good neighbor, good citizen. He joined the Presbyterian Church at Millville about 35 years ago, but afterwards took a letter from there and united with the Christian Church at West Shelby, where he held his membership at the time of his death.
His funeral services were largely attended in the Church at West Shelby, on Sunday last, (the 18th inst) the sermon being preached by the pastor, Rev. D. W. Moore, who took his text from James. 4:14 "What is your Life." Rev. F. R. Wade, a former pastor and intimate friend of the family, took part in the exercises. (From USGenWeb Project, NY)
