"Coffey Rites Held at Lynchburg

"Lynchburg, Sept. 8-Funeral services were conducted Monday in Euclid Avenue Christian Church for the Rev. Henry [sic] Davis Coffey, 86, for many years a Disciples of Christ evangelist and for 35 years connected with the Virginia Christian Missionary Society, who died Saturday at his home in Buckner.

"He is survived by his second wife and the following sons: Leonard W. Coffey, Cincinnati; Roy T. Coffey, Bristol; Clyde Coffey, Portsmouth; Raymond T. Coffey, Lynchburg; a daughter, Mrs. W. H. Leake, of Glen Allen, and these brothers and sisters, F. M. Coffey, Charles C. Coffey, Mrs. C. G. Campbell and Mrs. Laura C. Meredith all of Lynchburg; Edgar R. Coffey of Richmond and Horace J. Coffey, of Goochland."

"Mr. Coffey is an evangelist of the Christian Church and handles our books in connection with his meetings, receiving a small commission on those he sells. In one of his letters he writes as follows: 'During the year I have worked in fourteen counties and in two cities. I have conducted fifteen revivals and had more than three hundred conversions. I have donated more than five hundred copies of the New Testament, paying for same myself, and I have sold about two hundred and fifth copies. I find nothing so helpful in my work as getting the people interested in the 'Old Book.' To sell or give a nice large-print Testament to a person or family counts more than preaching a sermon. I shall continue to use the 'Old Sword,' and will need many more with which to fight the Master's battles."
