J. T. Coleman died at his home in Brooks last Saturday. He. was born in Shelby county, Ohio, April 4, 1836, and was the seventh of a family of twelve children of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Coleman. In 1842 the family left Ohio and removed to Allen county, Ind., and after living there until 1855 removed to Crawford county, Wis., being among the first settlers of the county. Of the twelve children seven lived to maturity and three now survive. The deceased was married December 16,1858, to Miss Matilda Mack and four children were born to them; two of them are now living, Millard F. being a resident of Wyoming and James F. living near Broken Bow, Neb. Mr. Coleman followed farming in Wisconsin until 1861, when he sold out and removed to this county. He bought a quarter section of land on which he lived, until his recent retirement from active farming.
Mrs. Matilda Coleman was called from this life in 1866, aged 33 years. Mr. Coleman was married a second time February 26, 1867, to Miss Sarah C. Mack, a sister of his first wife. Two children were born of this marriage, William L. and Bina L. Crisp. William lives on the old homestead near Brooks and Bina near Broken Bow, Neb. Mr. Coleman served in many local positions of trust and honor. He was first elected to the office of assessor in 1868 and has assessed his township eleven times. For seven successive years he has served as township clerk. He bore a name above reproach. His life was such that those who knew him best had unqualified respect and warmest friendship for him. One who knew him intimately said of him "he was undoubtedly a believer for his life was that of one who believed in God." To this fact he also gave verbal testimony. He was a very brave and patient sufferer. He showed no resentment or bitterness at his lot but was cheerful and kind and trustful to the last. The funeral services were conducted in his late home in Brooks by Rev. E. A. Moore and Father Rowley. The interment was in the Brooks cemetery.
Besides the family residing hear, his daughter, Mrs. Bina Crisp, and his son, Frank, both from near Broken Bow, Custer County, Nebraska, were present.
