The date of death is from his death certificate.
His gravemarker shows Oct 8, 1933. The birth certificate does not show a date of birth but it does show his age as
64 years/6 months/20 days which would resolve to 18 Mar 1869.
The 1870/1880 census shows him borm in abt 1867


Asked if she remembered Henry Coffman,his granddaughter Vida Hale Pope said yes she did. She remembered him as being very kind and gentle. She could remember when she was very young sitting on his lap and him rocking her. Vida said the story of him being shot while riding horseback was not true. The family could have never afforded a horse.

Henry and John Aaron Coffman worked at Bodert Mines which were closed as the depression set in. The two brothers then started working a mine in Pocket. Henry would walk from V.I.C. (a mining camp just outside of St Charles) to Pocket (guessing about 3-4 miles) everyday to work the mine. Henry died shortly after they started up the mine. Vida thought walking in the bad weather may have lead to his death, but from the cause of death on the his death certificate I wouldn't think so.

Henry married Mary Elizabeth Newman about 1892. Mary (daughter of Andrew Jackson Newman and Martha Jane Sybert) was born on 22 Feb 1872 in Lee Co, VA; died on 12 Nov 1962 in Lee Co, VA; was buried in Lee Co, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Note from Vida Hale Pope - Grandma Coffman always claimed that God "told her things". She said that God told her that Evan (her grandson) was going to die while visting family in Kentucky. Evan did develop diphtheria and may have died from a reaction to the medience he was given. Grandma said nothing about this until years later.
