COFFEY, NANNIE H.
(6 Apr 1911, Beckham County Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
In Memory.  Died, at her home in Erick, March 30, 1911, after a short
illness, Mrs. Nannie Coffey, (nee Smith) wife of Mr. Luther Coffey. 
Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church and remains buried
in the Erick cemetery, Friday, March 31, 1911.  Services were conducted by
Rev. Henderlite, pastor of the Presbyterian church.
The deceased was born in Tusoaloosa (sic) county, Alabama, 23 years ago. 
She came to Oklahoma with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Smith about ten
years ago.  They filed on a claim 1 1/2 miles west of Erick, and latter
(sic) moved to Vinson community, where they now reside.
Mr. and Mrs. Coffey were united in marriage on the 17th day of November,
1905; to this union two children were born, Loline, 4 years old, and her
baby brother, who is only 7 weeks old.
Mrs. Coffey was a devoted christian and a true wife, mother and friend. 
Every ready to lend a helping hand.  Always doing good.
Bereaved husband and children weep not, for her.  She is living God's
eternal life in the land of rest.  She knows no sorrow now.  Prepare when
the call for you comes that you can meet her on eternities golden shore to
part no more.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the husband and children in their hour
of heartache.
(6 Apr 1911, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
DIED.  Mrs. Nannie Coffey, wife of Luther Coffey, died last Thursday at
7:30 p.m. at her home in Southeast Erick after having been ill only a few
days.  Mrs. Coffey was in the full bloom of young womanhood about 23 years
of age.  She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Smith who live in the
vicinity of Vinson, Okla.  She was a dutiful daughter, a devoted wife and
mother and was universally beloved because of her charming personality and
wholesome hospitality.  Her untimely death is more saddening owing to the
fact that because of it two sweet children, a little girl of three years
and an infant son are left motherless.
Funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian Church by Rev.
Henderlight and interment was made in the Erick Cemetary (sic).
In this hour of deepest gloom Mr. Luther Coffey, his two sweet children
and other surviving loved ones in the circle of those to whom Mrs. Coffey
was near and dear have the heartfelt sympathy of every one with whom she
came in contact in her busy life, as they can in a measure, realize how
great must seem the bereavement caused by the death of one who occupied
such an important place in their life relationship and association.
