MRS. DENIS BURNHAM coFFEY

Death OF Former Matron of Vermont
Soldiers Home Sunday Afternoon
Mrs. DENIS B. Coffey, widow of the
late Robert J. Coffey. died at her
home on Grandyiew street Sunday af
ternoon. She had been in feeble
health during the past year, death be-
ing directly due to a shock of paraly-
sis. She was Ga years old.
Mrs. Coffey, who was the first ma.
iron of the Vermont Soldiers Home.
was born in Northfield, the daughter
OF Aaron Martin Burnham and Maria
Burnham. She was married to Col.
Robert j. Coffey in Montpelier Nov.
ember 10, 1867 Following their mar.
riage Mr. and Mrs. Coffey conducted
hotel at Richmond, later they had
charge of the Pavilion hotel and the
Montpelier House at the state capital
and during the four years preceding
their coming to Bennington they
were in the same business at Wind
sor.
When the Vermont soldiers home
was established here in 1887, Col and
Mrs. Coffey were the first superinten
dent and matron OF the institution
Col. Coffey died in 1901 but his widow
remained at the home until 1908. A
state institution passes through q
trying period during the first years
following its establishment and the
excellent record of the home, at thi.
time Is conceded to have been large
ly due to the exceptional executive
ability. kindness of heart and unusu
al tact OF the first matron. Durinl
these years the veterans of the civi
war In Vermont were able to take
greater personal interest in the in
stitution than at the present time. tn,
superintendent was active In tn,
work OF the Grand Army association
and Mrs. Coffey naturally made
large circle of friends in all sections
OF the state who will learn of he
death with sincere regret.
The surviving members OF the fam
lily are mother, Mrs. Maria Burn
ham, now SO years OF age, who is liy
ing with a son, George J. Burnham
