Clarence W. Coleman passed away at his home on the Boulevard at ten-thirty o'clock on Monday morning from cerebral meningtitis, secondary to a growth in the nose.

Mr. Coleman was in his forty first year, and had been a resident of Westfield for the past twelve years, during which time he had been connected with the Hall Signal Co., at Garwood, as inventor. Mr. Coleman was quiet and unassuming in his manner and of an exceptionally kind nature and he was highly respected and loved by his many associates in business, as well as a large circle of friends.

In the late summer Mr. Coleman and Dr. J.H. Corbin spent a vacation in Virginia, during which time Mr. Coleman purchased a large stock and grain farm and had planned to remove there with his family October first with the hope of being greatly benefited in health; resigning his position with the Hall Signal Co., and which resignation was not accepted, but a leave of absence granted instead. For nearly three weeks past, Mr. Coleman had been confined to his home,being attended constantly by Drs. Sinclair and Decker and his peronal friend Dr. J.H. Corbin, also Dr. Norton L. Wilson, of Elizabeth. Early Saturday morning last he became unconscious and Dr. Egbert Le Fevre and Dr. Cornelis G. Conkley, noted specialists of New York, were called in consultation and on Sunday Dr. Theo, clinical pathologist, took a blood culture, with the hope of saving his life but all efforts were futile.

The funeral service will be held tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock from the Methodist church, Dr. Addison W. Hayes, pastor of the church, officiating, assisted by Mr.Hall, of the Hall Signal Co., and Rev. Sydney Cross, of St. Paul's Church, Westfield.

The body will be cremated at the Linden Cemetery and the ashes deposited temporally in the vault at Fairview Cemetery.

A widow and two daughters, Miss Ruth Coleman and Miss Kathryn Coleman, survive him.

The Hall Signal Co. factory at Garwood and the New York office will be closed all day Thursday out of respect to Mr. Coleman, showing the high esteem in which he was held by the company.

Mr. Coleman and Mr. Piker, who passed away a few hours later, were the warmest friends and for a number of years were close nieghbors on Charles street.
