History of Kentucky, five volumes, edited by Judge Charles Kerr, American Historical Society, New York & Chicago, 1922, Vol. V, p. 184, Franklin County CLARENCE T. COLEMAN, M. D. Choosing the profession of medicine early in life, Doctor Coleman has worked steadily for the best proficiency and skill, and by successive stages has reached a high place in his profession in the capital city of Frankfort, where he has been located for the last eight years. Doctor Coleman represents the fourth generation of his family in Kenton County, Kentucky, where he was born May 23, 1882. It was his great grandfather who came from Virginia and settled as a pioneer in Kenton County. His grandfather, Lucien B. Coleman, was born in 1825 and died in 1911, spending all his life as a farmer in Kenton County. He married Sarah McCollum, who was born in the same county in 1831, and died there in 1915. Three of their children are still living: Joseph B., a retired farmer at Latonia; Mrs. Augusta White; and Samuel, a Kenton County farmer. Charles E. Coleman, father of Dr. Coleman, is also still living in Kenton County, where he was born in 1856 and where he has spent his years as a very successful and up-to-date farmer. He is a democrat and represented his county in the State Legislature in 1888. Fraternally he is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Charles E. Coleman married Ada Hunt, who was born near Calhoun, Illinois in 1860. They have three sons, Doctor Coleman being the second. Harry R., the oldest, is an expert stream engineer connected with the Illinois Steel Works at Chicago. Clifford, the youngest, lives at home and helps his father run the farm. Dr. Coleman attended the rural schools of Kenton County, the high school at Independence, and in 1903 entered the Medical Department of the University of Louisville, from which he received his M. D. degree in 1907. From that year he practiced at Deleplain in Scott County for two years, for another two years at Woodlake in Franklin County, and then removed to the City of Frankfort and has been busily engaged in a general medical and surgical practice for eight years. His offices are in the Hume Building on West Broadway. Doctor Coleman is the present county physician of Franklin County, an office he has held for six years. He is medical examiner for the Prudential Insurance Company, the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, and the Commonwealth Life Insurance Company of Kentucky. He is a member of the County and State Medical Societies, acts in politics with the democratic party, and is affiliated with Franklin Lodge No. 530 of the Elks, Frankfort aerie No. 923 of the Eagles, and the Loyal Order of Moose. His home is at 418 Logan Street. In November 1905, at Louisville, Doctor Coleman married Miss Mary King, the latter now deceased. Her father is a farmer in Fleming County, Kentucky. The two children of Mr. [sic] and Mrs. Coleman are Elizabeth, born October 7, 1907, and Robert Mason, born December 25, 1916.
