Came across this obit today. I didn't find it in the archives so I'm posting it. Dean Coffman is part of my Davenport family line, descendants of Phoebe Ann Davenport who first married Isaac Benjamin Loman then Leonard Franklin Coffman. After Isaac died in Kentucky Phoebe married Leonard Franklin Coffman. They had a son Leonard Franklin Coffman Jr. About 1850 Leonard and Phoebe and their children left for Illinois. After about 6 years in Gallatin Co. IL several of them moved to Jefferson County, IL.
