Henry A. Coffeen

Biography

Henry A. Coffeen stood as a reliable presence in Sheridan and the surrounding countryside, often serving on school boards and civic committees that kept the town humming. His belief in the work ethic and in public education gave younger residents a model of how to serve.

He carried that same steady temperament into every committee and chapel meeting, encouraging temperance, thrift, and neighborliness while remaining quick to offer a helping hand to newcomers or returning veterans, and Sheridan Municipal Cemetery remains a reminder to neighbors of the steady guidance he offered.
