Funeral services for local historian,
retired pastor Ed Coffman Jr. Saturday
The Logan Journal has learned that funeral services for one of Logan County’s most respected historians, retired pastor Edward Coffman Jr., 95, who died Monday, will be held at First Christian Church in Russellville Saturday at 11 a.m. Visitation will be at his historic home on West Seventh Street from 4-7 p.m. Friday. The long-time Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) minister and his wife Carol moved back to his native Russellville in 1987. He updated the 1962-published The Story of Logan County, Kentucky, published by his late father, Edward ‘Pyke’ Coffman, and typed by his late mother, Emma Hill Coffman, by adding almost four decades of updated information. He added Through My Father’s Eyes to the title, and the almost-600 page, well-received book was self-published 15 years ago. Mr. Coffman was also a local and state leader of Kiwanis International. Mrs. Coffman preceded her husband in death. He is survived by their three daughters. The family home, The Curd House, was built in 1814.

Logan board takes steps toward
adding athletic facilities at LCHS
A proposed additional athletic facility on the grounds of Logan County High School came closer to being a reality at a special called meeting of the board of education Thursday. The board approved a project application and hired a Hopkinsville-based architectural firm to design the 27,000-square foot structure. It will be designed as a home for archery and marching band practices along with locker rooms and restrooms. Superintendent Paul Mullins told the Daily News that track and cross country facilities could also be added soon. Archery does not have a home of its own, and the band has been practicing on football and soccer areas. The original track, which surrounds the football field, hasn't been usable for several years. The cross country track, which was one of the best in the region, was lost when construction began last year on the technology center.
