Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in 1900 Census as October 1871, but in death record as August 1871. Note (2) The exact location of Augustus F. Coffman's burial is uncertain. His death record states the burial location only as Wallace, but without specifying a cemetery. Findagrave reports it as the Wallace IOOF Cemetery, but without a supporting photograph. There are at least two other cemteries in Wallace where Coffmans are known to be buried, namely the Wallace Lions Cemetery and the Coffman Family Cemetery. Note (3) Birth date given in 1900 Census as May 1881, and in her death record as Jun 21 1883. But her birth record shows it to be Jun 25 1880. Note (4) Listed as Guy O. Coffman, 28, b. WVa, married, an inmate at the West Virginia State Penitentiary.
