BIRTHS, DEATRS, MARRIAGES

OFFIN.-Ella' c. Coffin, daughter
| of Joseph p. and Sarah Jane Cook,
was born at BlOOmingdale, Indiana,
| Sept /, 1858. Her parents, and their
parents, for generations back. were
of the Quaker faith, and that faith
she embraced and taught all her life.
When she was seven years of age, her
mother died, and she went to make
her home at Sugar Plain, Indiana,
with cousin. e Sarah Jane Hadley
and her husband. With these she
lived until her marriage.
The Friends Monthly Meeting
school at Sugar Plain gave to Ella
she attended Earlham College for q
time. All of ner life she was an Gag.
Ter seeker for knowledge, and she read
widely and thoughtfully, rs much as
her strength would permit. 80.
On October IL, 1876 she and Thorn
as E. Coffin we're married according
to the simple way of Friends at
Fourth-day Meeting In Sugar Plain
meeting house. Four sons came to
bless this union all of whom survive
the mother: J. Herschel Coffin,
Earlham College. Richmond. Indiana.
Merrill NJ. Coffin, minister at Adrian,
Michigan; Claren and Theron. still
at home. She Is also survived by her
husband, two sisters and three broth
ers. Her children and their every in.
terest were always close to their heart
and her prayers will always be a
benediction in their lives. 81.
Ella Coffin was converted in EARL.
est girlhood and early in her married
life she recognized definite call to
the ministry, to which she yielded,
being recorded a minister in 1886.
Thereafter as fully as her always
frail health would permit, she en-
gagged in varied active labor, as pas.
tor, in evangelistic work, and in 9th.
or gospel service. H
10 In the summer of 1902 the family
moved to Oskaloosa in order to be
near Penn College.
During all the years, in spite of
continued frail health, her interest in
all phases of church work was deep
and far-reaching. When she was not
able physically to take an active part
In public, her prayers for all interests
were constant and earnest The new
meeting house was one Of the things
most yitally in her thoughts during
the last months. and as member Of
the building committee, she made It
a subject of continual prayer. l a.
/ During the last weeks she rapidly
failed. but seemed to feel the assur-
ance or Gods promise for her recoy-
cry When finally she realized the
end was drawing near, she consent
ed to the summoning OF the two alb
sent sons. but passed away at 4:20
Monday morning before their arrival.
At the last as. always. her concern
was for the welfare of the husband
and family. and she rested in the as
surance that Gods care would be up
on them. Sabbath afternoon she ex-
pressed this thought in these words:
For myself It will be glorious to go,
but my concern is for the family"
