COFFMAN CEMETERY

This cemetery, which dates to the mid-19th century, is on land donated by early
settler John Coffman (1804-1880). His son, George W. Coffman (1840-1913), owned
and operated a homestead one mile west of this site. The oldest marked grave
dates to 1876. Descendants of many of the families represented in the graveyard
still reside in this part of Collin County. The primary burial ground for the
community of Coffman for over a century, this cemetery serves as a reminder of
the area's past.
