His industry and education were his mainstay and the pivot of his success. March 24, 1880, Mr. Coffman was united in marriage with Miss Addie Ferguson on Benton Harbor Michigan and three children resulted from this union, namely Guy M. of Morrison, Oklahoma, Clyde C. of the home address, and Thomas E, of Deerfield Missouri. Mr. Coffman's education was obtained in the Decatur High School and at Rose Oaks College in Indiana, and at the age of seventeen he began his long and successful career as a teacher in the common schools.

In 1898 he embarked in the hardware business in Galesburg, and was about the same time appointed postmaster. In 1897 he moved his store of goods to Krio and formed a partnership under the name of Bell & Coffman, which firm dissolved the following year when he took the presidency of the Allen State Bank. Later he disposed of his interests in the bank and moved to Rocky Ford, Colorado, where he again engaged in the banking business.

Church, but now pastor of the Girard Church, assisted by the Rev. W.L. Shuler, local pastor of the M.E. Church.
