I was hoping that "Anonymous" would have provided some contact info. There is some disagreement among this family's researchers whether or not the oldest child was Oscar Hayden, described above or, Oscar Hardin who married Lizzie Mae Keeton. Oscar and Lizzie are buried at Elk Spring Cemetery in Monticello, Wayne Co.
Eva Jane Coffey Martin and spouse Sheard William Martin are buried at Dodson Cemetery in Steubenville, Wayne Co., KY. A son, William Hayden Martin, 1945-2012, is also buried at Dodson.
Alfred Wilburn and wife (either Mary Ethel or Nancy Ethel Coffey) are buried at Elk Spring. Her name on headstone simply reads Ethel.
Leonard's death certificate reads Leonard Coffey with no middle name. It also tells us that he was buried at Dodson Cemetery. A Ross-Rhoda Dodson cemetery does appear on Find-A-Grave but not sure if it is the same cemetery named Dodson, also on Find-A-Grave.
Osro and Opal and Velda's info agrees with mine.
Alma died Jul. 11, 2001 and is buried at Elk Spring in Monticello. Her son David, 1941-2003, is also buried there.
Hugh Henderson "Huey" Coffey (1923-1985) married Clara Denney Raines, the widow of Beecher Raines.
She is buried at the Stop Cemetery in Monticello along side Mr. Raines. Huey is buried at Locketts Chapel in Monticello.
