Bio
The Ord Quiz, Ord, NE, March 2, 1950: James D. Coleman James D. Coleman, Lifetime Resident, Died February 26 Popular Young Farmer Is Called from Life at an Early Age. James Delwin Coleman, son of John and Edna Coleman, was born south of North Loup, Nebr., in the Barkes school district, July 5, 1912, and died suddenly at the Ord Cooperative hospital, Feb. 25, 1950, having reached the age of only 37 years, 7 months and 21 days. With the exception of one and one-half years which were spent in Polk county, Nebraska. Mr. Coleman lived his entire life in Valley county. He had been engaged in several businesses in North Loup before moving near Ord, where he was farming. He served as marshal of North Loup for a period of five years. On July 5, 1933, he was united in marriage to Cecile Willoughby, of North Loup. To this union were born two daughters, Janet, 16, and Jill, age 8. Although his life was of few years, Mr. Coleman discovered many of the things that make life meaningful and had many sincere friends. He was one who could be counted on in time of need and was ever thoughtful of others. On many occasions he made long auto trips for the benefit of persons who needed to make a hurried trip and for many of these he neither received nor expected pay. He was just as free to aid total strangers as he was his friends. In an emergency the thought came into the minds of those concerned: "Leave it to Jim, he will take care of it". Above everything else he was devoted to his wife and children and thought of them as the dearest part of life. Everything that concerned their happiness was ever uppermost in his mind. There remain to mourn his passing besides his wife and daughters, his mother, Mrs. Edna Coleman, of North Loup; two sisters, Mrs. Orville Portis, of North Loup, and Mrs. Peryl Sample, of Big Springs, Nebr.; two brothers, Hillis of North Loup, and Deryle of Los Angeles, Calif., besides many other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church in North Loup, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. Warren Studer, pastor of the Mira Valley EUB church officiating. Music was furnished by a duet, Mrs. Harold Hoeppner and Mrs. Cloyd Ingerson, who sang "In the Garden" and a solo by Mrs. Hoeppner, "Some Time We'll Understand". They were accompanied by Mrs. Glenn Johnson, Mary Feeser of Shelby, Neb.; Edith Canfield, of Tekamah, Nebr., and Ethel Barta; and Alice Ulrich of Ord assisted with the flower. Active pallbearers were Arthur Jefferies, Corwin Cummins and Wilmer Nelson of Ord; Gordon Canfield, of Tekamah; Guy Feeser of Shelby, and James Scott, of North Loup. Honorary pallbearers were Lind Nelson, of Auburn, Nebr.; Charles Goodrich, Floyd Redlon and Harry Waller, of North Loup, and Joe Ulrich, Emil Barta, Darr Lee and Floyd Wetzel of Ord.
