"Benny" Coleman of Potosi, Missouri passed away Friday, March 31, 2006 at Georgian Gardens Nursing Center in Potosi, Missouri at the age of 82 years, 11 months and 16 days. He was born in the Pine Valley Area of Potosi, Missouri on April 15, 1923; the sixth child of the family of four girls followed by four boys of Amos Coleman and Oma Katherine (Maness) Coleman. Ben attended the small Hochstatter School in rural Washington County. As a teenager, he worked cutting timber. On February 2, 1943 he was inducted into the United States Army to serve in World War II. Ben entered active duty on February 9, 1943. During his service to his country, he served in Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes, Normandy and Central Europe. He was awarded a Good Conduct Medal, five Bronze Service Stars, three Overseas Service Bars, a Theatre Campaign Ribbon-Europe and an African Mid-Eastern Theatre Campaign Ribbon and American Service Lapel Buttons. Ben was honorably discharged on December 3, 1945. Soon after returning home from the military service, Ben went to work at the Missouri-Pacific Railroad Car Shops at DeSoto, Missouri.

For many years Ben had beagle dogs that he took hunting. In the years since his retirement, Ben spent countless hours watching birds, rabbits, squirrels and other animals that ran through the yard and fields.

More recently he enjoyed the pet cats “Alley Tom” and later “Mackie Tom.” Ben joined the Potosi United Methodist church in 1974.
