Aaron Roosevelt Coffey was born Oct. 25, 1907 in Rufus, Caldwell Co., NC to Henry Kelly (Caleb) and second wife, Julia Emma Stansberry Coffey. Henry was the son of James Asbury and Chainey Gragg Coffey.
Aaron married Nellie Bell Critcher c1928 in North Carolina and died by suicide on Aug. 29, 1951. He was buried in the John Critcher Cemetery in Boone, Watauga Co., NC on Aug. 30, 1951. Nellie was born c1910 but I have not yet determined who her parents were. She likely remarried after the death of Aaron.
I have one child for them: Nellie Louise, born Mar. 22, 1929.
Aaron was buried in the John Critcher Cemetery in Boone.
