Mrs. U G Coffman died at the family home near the White Oak Pond on Tuesday, July 20th after a lingering illness.

Funeral services were held at the White Oak Pond Church.
By her request, Rev C W Wood of Agnes, conducted the service, Rev E B Camett assisting. The choir sang "Abide With Me," "No Night There," "Asleep In Jesus" and "Rock of Ages." Rev Wood, R S Dennis and Miss Robinson sang "The Way of the Cross Leads Home."

The pallbearers were S E McMillen, Elmer Hough, Will DeVasure, Clifton O'Dell, John Kincaid and Everett Snow.
The body was laid to rest in the cemetery near the church.

Laura Goans was born in Laclede county December 17, 1869, and was the youngest daughter of the late Andrew and Mary Goans. She was united in marriage to Ulysses G Coffman March 23, 1904. He is left to mourn the loss of a devoted companion.

She is also survived by three brothers, Alonzo, John A and Charles Goans, and a sister, Mrs. J A Russell. A cousin, Ed Jenkins, of Washington D C, who was reared in the Goans home and was loved as a brother, is also left to mourn her going away.

Mrs. Coffman was a loving wife and sister and a kind, helpful friend and neighbor. She professed a faith in Christ in early life and practiced that faith in her daily life.

She gave freely of her time and talent to the work of the church at the White Oak Pond, serving as Sunday school superintendent and teacher until failing health forced her to give up the work.

Mrs. Coffman's going away leaves a desolate home to the husband, and her pleasant voice and kindly presence will be missed greatly in the church and community.

The Lebanon Rustic feels a great loss in the passing of Mrs. Coffman. She had served for several years as correspondent from her neighborhood. She loved the work and so long as she had the strength to write gladly sent in her reports of the happenings in that locality. She seemed especially glad to send news that would give pleasure to our readers and was very careful to refrain from touching on the misfortunes of her friends.
