Biblical Recorder, 12/01/1886
COLEY.---Edward Profus Coley was born Feb. 28th, 1853, and died Nov. 12th, 
1886, in the 34th ear of his age.  In early life Bro. Coley professed faith in 
Christ, and was baptized into the fellowship of Concord church, Granville 
county, N. C., by Elder J. A. Stradley.

He at once began to develop into an earnest, active christian worker.  He was 
gifted in singing, exhortation and prayer.  He was a recognized leader among 
his brethren, in every good word and wor.  For more than two months he sufered 
from a severe attack of malaral fever, which was an over match for his weak 
lungs.  As long as reason lasted, he spoke with rapture and certainty of his 
heavenly home.  Greatly will our dear brother be missed from his church, 
Sabbath School and neighborhood, but most of all, from his once happy home, 
wher now a loving young wife, after near three years of the happiest conjugal 
bliss is left, clothed in the dark habiliments of sorrow.  God comfort our 
afflicted sister, and the three remaining brothers of the departed love 
one.                            J. A. S.
