Colorado, Texas, former pastor of the local church.  Interment was in the Willow Cemetery,
with funeral arrangements in charge of J. H. Kinney of the Kinney Funeral Home.

     Mr. Coburn died at his home in this city Wednesday morning, Oct. 28, after a lingering illness
of several years duration.  Deceased had been a resident of Haskell for a number of years,

and three sons, Austin, Wayne, and Vernon Coburn, all of this city.
