F. fraternity, of which order Mr. Coffman had been a faithful member for several years. Mr. Coffman was a member of the Baptist Church. He was a good citizen, true friend and a neighborly neighbor. A man can not have these good traits without being a good man. Those who knew Mr. Coffman best speak most highly of him. He lived the kind of life that he though he should live to be a true Christian, and served his Master the best he knew how. Rev. Fender, who had known the deceased for a number of years, paid a beautiful tribute to the life of Mr. Coffman in his talk at the graveside.
