She married Charles Emmett Coffin on October 6, 1875 in Danville, IL. Her parents were Cornelius and Eliza Holloway. Elizabeth and Charles had two children - Clarence Coffin and Jean Fletcher Coffin Ingram.
OBITUARY:
As foreshadowed Saturday, the illness of Mrs. Elizabeth Coffin, the wife of Charles E. Coffin, terminated fatally at the Country Club at 10:00 o'clock Saturday night. The messenger came unconsciously to her, though there had been a few moments when her husband's voice did not bring rational response. She, with her husband and son and a part of friends, had gone to the club about two weeks ago to rest, after a fortnight's visit to the World's Fair. Mrs. Coffin seemingly improved at first, but afterward insidious peritonitis developed, and she became so ill that she could not be removed to her home. At her death-bed were gathered her husband and her son Clarence, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.B. Holloway, her brother and sister-in-law,, Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Holloway, and several intimate friends.
Mrs. Coffin was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.B. Holloway, for many years resident of Danville, Ill. It was at Danville nearly twenty years ago that she married Mr. C.E. Coffin, formerly of Bloomington. Mr. and Mrs. Collins took up their residence in Indianapolis, where they have long been prominent in church and social life. They have been members of the Meridian-street Methodist Episcopal church. Mrs. Coffin's death will be particularly felt in the charity and benevolent work of the city, to which by reason of her sympathy and tenderness she had contributed beyond her strength. While all organizations enjoyed her sympathy and material aid her most engrossing care was for the Flower Mission and the Training School for Nurses, for both of which she lavishly contributed both in time and means. In her social life, there were no trivialities. She won great numbers of friends by her originality and kindness. Her home in this city she made one of the most attractive of those thrown open to lovers of the true and beautiful. Her numerous sojournal at summer and winter resorts made her many friends in other cities. Among other societies she was a member of the Art Association and the Ladies' Matinee Musicale.
Mrs. Coffin's health has been delicate for years and it has been especially poor during the past year, when she has suffered at times from nervous prostration.
Yesterday beggining at an early hour, the remains were embalmed and transferred to the home, 800 North Pennsylvania street. Thence the funeral will take place Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Dr. H.A. Cleveland will officiate, assisted by the Rev. JA. Millburn. The pall-bearers will be M.F. Wasson, ALJ. Beveridge, John Carey, J.C. Shafferr, W.H. Coleman, and W.J. Richards.
