To them were born two children, Alda M. aged 3 years and Leith M. aged 13 months. Mrs. Coffey was converted at the age of twelve years in the M. E. church at Maple Grove, in 1908, and has been a faithful member ever since; she was loyal to her church and her Christ. She was a kind loving wife and mother, teaching her children the love of Christ from infancy. Taking her children in her arms on her death bed and saying, "Learn to love Jesus and go to Sunday School." Her last request was that her children be raised up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Her whole hearts' desire in life was to be a blessing to others. Upon the fly leaf of her Bible she had written this motto: "For we must share if we would keep the blessing from above; cease to give we cease to have, such is the law of love. Jesus spent his life not, in being ministered unto, but in ministering to the need of others. He has given his followers the privilege of learning the blessing that comes from giving, not only our money, but our time and our interest, to those who need our help." In the last moments of her life she offered a sweet prayer and gave as sweet a testimony as was ever heard from human lips, saying that she saw the pearly gates unfold and she was going to Heaven to be with Jesus. Then she sang the chorus of, "Meet me there, meet me there, where the tree of life is blooming, meet me there, On that happy golden shore, where the faithful part no more, meet me there." Her husband was standing on one side of the bed and her father on the other side; they reached across the bed and clasped hands, as a promise to meet her there; she placed her hands on theirs and finished the chorus and went home to be with Jesus. (Many others witnessed the scene.) Nellie passed away to be with her Lord, March 5th, 1920, aged 24 years, 1 month and 17 days. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, two children, father and mother Allred, five sisters, namely; Mrs. C. V. Holder, Patterson, Calif.; Mrs. Lloyd E. Coffey, Humeston, Iowa; Jena V. and Nina Allred at home; three brothers: Wallace, Harley and Bernie Allred at home. Mother Coffey and chidren, five sons and one daughter: Cresse Coffey, Newt Coffey, Bennie Coffey, Dick Coffey, Clyde Coffey, Mrs. Ethel Coffey Poland and a host of relatives, friends and neighbors.
