Obituary - Cleveland McKendree Coffey was born January 5th, 1836, and died December 7th, 1921, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lee Ingram.

He was a member of the Presbyterian Church until about eight years ago, and at that time united with the Methodist church in Monticello.

He had suffered for many years but through all this he saw the hand of God and was submissive, expressing himself many times that he was ready to depart and be with Him who gave live.

He was laid to rest in Oil Valley Cemetery Dec. 8, at 2:30 p.m. in the presence of a large crowd. Bro. Baird, who had been a friend of Bro. Coffey's for some years, assisted Rev. Bedford Turnes, his pastor, in the service, which was held at the grave.
