September 21 – Near Tipton, Cedar county, Iowa, of inflammation of the bowels, JAMES COLEMAN, youngest son of John and Catharine Coleman, aged seventy-eight years.
He was born near Trenton, N.J., 1771 or 1772. His ancestry were among those that settled at Jamestown, Va. He was old enough to remember the appearance of Washington and the army, in their marches past his father’s house, during the sanguinary struggle of the Revolutionary war. He, with his father’s family, removed to western Pennsylvania, then to Ohio, it being comparatively wilderness. On Christmas, 1797, he was married to Miss Anne Foster, of Brook county, Va., where resided three years, the removed back to Jefferson county, O., where, in connection with his family and friends, he endured the labors and hardships of a frontier life. Here, at an early period, a destructive fire consumed all his grain, household goods, clothing, &c., leaving not an article behind but what was on the persons himself, wife, and three small children. This sudden and unexpected loss so impressed his mind with the vanity of all earthly good, that he sought and found the more durable riches of the grace of God. He and his companion always believed this disaster a great blessing, though in painful disguise. In September, 1829, his companion left to join the saints in light. In her lost a helpmate indeed, and her children a mother worthy of the name. He ever after journeyed alone, fearing her place could not be supplied. Father Coleman was an active member of the Church until increasing infirmities, with age, prevented. For many years he had a continued pain in his head, (supposed to be rheumatism;) but he bore it and the other ills of life with Christian meekness and resignation. Many will remember the refreshing seasons they have enjoyed with him in the public and social means of grace, and while sharing in his kind hospitalities. As a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church he was unwavering in his attachment to her doctrines and Discipline, and never countenanced those who either rent or defamed her. Living by faith, his end was not only peaceful, but triumphant.
