"Just a little background about my immediate family: my grandfather, Nelson Lee Coffey died in 1929, when my father was about three years old. My father, Charles Lee Coffey, Sr., had no memory of him. When Nelson died, his children were all taken from Daddy's mother, except for his baby sister. His older brothers, with the exception of Odie James, were put on farms and forced to work. His oldest sister, Anna Mae and he were put in an orphanage. After my grandmother, Lucy Margaret Mutherspaw Coffey, remarried they were gradually reunited, but after the years of being apart, weren't as close as they probably should have been." Note: My mother thinks that Ida Belle (Nelson's youngest daughter) was not yet born when Nelson died." "Frank Coffey b: 12/7/1917 Staunton, VA d: May 1977 Clyde P.
