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.

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 death record as Jan 29 1877. But the 1900 Census shows it as Jan 1878, and the date on her headstone is Jan 29 1878, in keeping with her age in other records.
