At the home of his son, Joshua [COFFING], near Wagoner Station, Davis COFFING died last evening at six o'clock (July 4, 1907), after an illness of several months. His death was directly due to gangrene. Though his demise had been expected by those who knew of his condition, it was a great shock to his family and friends. Mr. Coffing was an old pioneer resident and also one of the most widely known men of his community. Born in Ohio in 1827, he moved to this county while a young man. He was the father of seven children, three of whom survive his death. His wife died about six years ago. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
