My grandfather owned a rooming house in Oakland. My dad lived there after after he divo rced my mother. I remember that he chewed tobacco and he had a spittoon and he was spittin g the brown juice into it. I used to take the street car down there. I do not remember i f I ever stayed the night. He worked for the Mare Island Fire Department. They had horses . He bought this property down in the lower part of Oakland about 6th or 7th and over from G rove. It was walking distance because I remember walking down there to see my dad before I w as married about 1925. My dad and uncle had the tire company about that time.

!BIOGRAPHY: From Ernest Coffman, Jr. April 2000- My dad-Ernest Sr. passed away when I wa s a toddler, so I don't remember him at all. From my calculations, I was 1 yr. 8 mos. and 1 3 days old, give or take an hour or so. The death certificate says that his trade was a Colle ctor & Adjuster, but I heard from his brother-my Uncle Otis Coffman Sr., that he was also i n the tire business, with him, down on Broadway, in Oakland. It was near the big Presbyteria n church, if I recall, for I remember stopping there to see Uncle Otis, when I was a little s prout. On his death certificate, it indicates that he died of "pyelitic uremia 133." Whateve r that is. Also, other contributory causes were: "Acute bilateral pyelitia suppurative 133, " and the doctor Theldore E. Schwarz, treated him from 9/11/34 until his demise 9/17/34, whic h in today's modern medicine, they probably would have given him some antibotics and sent hi m home. There was no operation and there was no autopsy. My folks, and me, too-I guess-live d just up the street from Aunt Viola-his sister-and Uncle Dave. As I read further in this dea th certificate, it indicates that the above job ended in 1931, before my birth, so...the tir e industry does make sense. It also states that he worked there for 24 years, being a collect or and adjuster. Wonders of wonder. No 401-K or Soc. Sec. back then. <sad> Our friend, down i n San Jose, is a teaching-nurse and indicated that the above diagnosis was "a problem with hi s kidneys, possibly a severe kidney infection, abscess, or similar condtion, which did, or ul timately would have, led to renal (kidney) failure. An added "P.S. was 'bilateral indicates b oth kidneys were affected. the number 133 may have been a medical record number or diagnosi s category, but probably isn't significant to the cause of death.'" It's also noted that he d ied at the Alameda County Hospital, so...that to me, is Highland and was there because of th e cash situation, I guess, seeing that that was the depression era.

As for things my mother shared. Ha! Nada! At least not much of anything super-duper. She wa s a very quiet person when it came to sharing things of personal nature. Right up until the e nd. I do recall that she said that my Dad drove her to a park in lower Alameda County, whic h was quite popular back then. I believe that was near Sunol, but I couldn't prove it.

I do have a couple of neat pictures of Dad. One, when he was a dapper 21, I guess. And, the o ther is of him with a duster and his automobile, which I guess he took pride in. End of histo ry lesson for now. Parents: Archibald Wilson COFFMAN and Harriet KETCHAM .

He was married to Mae Blanche MOSS on 5 Feb 1907 in Oakland, Alameda, California. He was divorced from Mae Blanche MOSS. Children were: Elaine Blanche COFFMAN, Male COFFMAN, Vivian Lucile COFFMAN.

He was married to Mildred Jane LOVELESS about 1930. Children were: Ernest Ellsworth COFFMAN Jr..
