A. T. COLEMAN
Memorial
In Memory of A.T. Coleman  --  Mayfield, Ky., June 27th,1904. One year ago today my dear husband, after taking breakfast, went to his work apparently in perfect health. In a short while, however, he returned and said he was suffering with his stomach and asked me to give him some medicine, which I did, but getting no relief, we sent for our family physician, but was too late. Although failing to reach him in time, he said from what he could  learn of his condition, his death was due to neuralgia of the stomach going to the heart, causing instant death. We knew his sufferings were great and did all in our power to relieve him, but almost without a moment's warning he ceased to breathe, and his soul went home to God. His body was laid to rest in the Oak Grove cemetery, the church of which he had long been a faithful member. It was with a heart of inexpressible sorrow that we looked on his precious from for the last time and saw it laid in its narrow home. Then we can look to Him who doeth all things well and humbly hope that on the resurrection morning we will be united in that home where parting will be no more.
  He was born Mar. 4th, 1850, in Trigg county, the eldest son of A.B. and Alpha Coleman, who, with many other relatives and friends, mourn our loss. He was spared with me to see our children about grown. They are B.B. and A.N., of this county, and R. Y. and Mrs. Temuel Perkins, of Paducah, besides our niece, Beulah Coleman, whom we took when she was quite young and kept until his death, but now resides with her sister Mrs. Edwards, in Colloway county. He was a faithful husband and all through the walks of life in trials and disappointments as well as pleasures, he was ever true to his family, and while I am sad and lonely today, he is resting in a home above, for I have often heard him while living express the hope he had of heaven, and the home he expected to enjoy when done with this world. We deeply feel our lose, but know that the Lord has a wise purpose in all his dealings with us and we try to be submissive to His will, and as the shades of night gather around us and our thoughts run out to the little mound in Oak Grove Cemetery, we know it is only the body sleeping there, but his soul is safely housed with God.    Josie Coleman



BENJAMIN COLEMAN

Uncle Ben Coleman
Death of the Venerable Old Bachelor at Herndon
Herndon, Ky., March 12
Mr. Benjamin Coleman died at his home here yesterday morning at 6 o'clock, aged 81 years and seven months. He had been sick for ten days and died of heart trouble. Mr. Coleman was an old bachelor, and lived alone for many years. Since he grew old one of his nieces, Miss Mary Ball, had made her home with him. The old gentleman had four brothers, two half brothers and two half sisters but he outlived all but one of them. One brother, Abe Coleman, of Montgomery county Tenn., is the last survivor of the family. "Uncle Ben," as everybody called the good old man, was not a church member, but he was a man of the strictest integrity and the best of character. His home was noted far and wide for its hospitality and was a favorite stopping place for preachers of all denominations. His funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at his residence, the pastor of the Methodist church at Lafayette officiating and the body was taken to Clarksville for interment. Mr. Coleman leaves a handsome estate, consisting of a fine farm of 600 acres, personal property, notes and money.
