Coleman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Hoppough, was born in Canadice, N.Y., February 18, 1848. She moved with her parents to Otisco when she was 16 years of age, living here until 1900 when she moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she made her home until the year 1908 when she moved to Kinsley, Kansas, which place was her home at the time of her death, which came June 24, 1925 at Orlando, Florida. One of a family of ten, she is survived by two sisters and three brothers. Her son A.L. Moe, who with his wife were with her to the end, and whose reciprocal loyalty and fidelity of mother and son can not be questioned. One daughter, Lena B. Moe, and a son, Arthur Coleman, preceded the mother by death several years ago. Mrs. Coleman was one of the most womanly women of which any community can boast – ambitious, energetic, and efficient in a high degree – a home builder, lovable and loyal to her family and community to the last. She possessed the embodiment of all that the term “mother” implies – the highest expression of true womanhood. She was affiliated with the Congregational church through life and an active member of that church at the time of her death in the city of her late home, Kinsley, Kansas. Funeral services were held at the home of her sister, Alice Peterson, of Smyrna, Rev. Ellis officiating. [Transcriber’s note: There is a notation on the obituary card that she was buried in Smyrna Cemetery.] File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/mi/ionia/obits/c/coleman26793nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/mifiles/ File size: 2.0 Kb
