She was united in marriage to John H. COFFIN, March 7, 1906 and children were born to this union, one daughter, Blanche, preceding her mother in death. Three sisters married brothers and Mrs. COFFIN was the second to be called in death. Mrs. COFFIN joined the Clay Congregational church in her young girlhood but after moving to the Pleasant Grove neighborhood united there with the Methodist church. She was a quiet, unassuming, home loving Christian woman, greatly beloved by her family and the many friends who will so sadly miss her. She had been in ill health for more than a year, but was seriously ill two months ago and was taken to the Jefferson county hospital where she remained for some time. Then she was moved to the home of her daughter, Mrs. George BOUGHNER, where she had the loving care of her husband and children which she so much desired, but on Monday evening at 7:15 she passed away.

Interment was in Evergreen cemetery. --------- Contributor note: Ivy/Iva Waters was one of three Waters sisters who married three Coffin brothers. Her Waters lineage is shared with this contributor, going back 300 years, a couple siblings over, and back forward 300 years. That discovery of Jefferson county ancestors has led this contributor to contribute memorials on FindAGrave and other county genealogy projects to "pay it forward."
