Biography
"Bishop Samuel Coffman came from Greenbrier Co., W. V., when a young man to Harrisonburg, Va., and married Frances Weaver. He soon united with the Mennonite church; he was placed in the ministry and later in the office of bishop, in which he faithfully served for 42 years. He was a man of great worth to the church and wherever you found him...He raised a fine family, a family that cannot easily be excelled anywhere, a family of religious principles, which it is to be hoped his descendants may think worthy to imitate." - J.H.W
