The death of Miss Anna Coffin occurred at her home in Haverhill, Mass. At the age of 18 she was graduated from the Salem Normal School. Having a desire to serve the needy colored people, she accepted a commission from the American Missionary Association to teach in Burrell School, at Selma, Ala. She threw herself into the work with all the ardor and enthusiasm so natural to her, and for the two years of her stay proved a devoted teacher and faithful servant of Christ. Later, for four years, she was connected with Tougaloo University, at Tougaloo, Miss., where her unselfish, consecrated life was powerful for good. With grief softened by joy, we count her among the "happy saints that dwell in light, and walk with Jesus in white."
