6345. Sarah Deliah "Sadie" Coffey⁸⁴³³ was born on 11 February 1864 in Morgan Co., IN. She lived with her parents in Lime Creek Twp., Washington Co., IA on 13 July 1870. She lived with her parents in Lime Creek Twp., Washington Co., IA on 18 June 1880. Sarah died in Svensen, Clatsop Co., OR on 7 June 1897 and was buried at Knappa Prairie Cemetery in Knappa, Clatsop Co., OR in June 1897 .²⁰⁹⁸³

Sarah (Sadie) Delilah Coffey gave birth to 3 children. Twins, James Norman Coffey and Clarence Coffey, born Sept 20, 1896 and gave them up for adoption in Nov of 1896 . Clarence Coffey died in a children's home and James Coffey was adopted by the Weick family. James took the name of his brother Clarence.

Another son Virgil Coffey born Aug 24,1891 in Svenson died Aug 27,1957 in Harve Hill, Montana Veterans Hospital of Leukemia. Virgil E. Coffey changed his name to Virgil Snyder.

I just found Clarence (Coffey )Weick in Ancestry.com in the 1900 census of Bennington, Black Hawk ,Iowa ,born Sept 1896 living with adoptive parents, Sidney and Emma Weick. So his twin, James Coffey must have died in the Children's Home. Now to try and find where Clarence lived and died after that!

Update October 29, 2005:

According to Terry Kennan in her message on the Ancestry.com message boards. James Norman Coffey took the name of his deceased brother Clarence and he became Clarence Weick. So now James Norman Coffey is Clarence Weick!
