Story
BLESSED are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours ; and their works do follow them." On July 8, 1901, Herbert R. Coffin of Windsor Locks, well known throughout the State as a manufacturer and church man, departed this life, leaving the priceless legacy of a good name which will ever endure. That he was a man of great foresight, of unflinching courage, strong will, generous nature and determination of character, is known by all who knew him, and to the possession of these qualities he was indebted to a great extent for his uniform success in life. He had the rare faculty of inspiring both affection and respect in all with whom he came in contact and his financial success was commensurate with his intrinsic worth. No one who has lived in Hartford County during the last century bore a more enviable reputation or was held in higher esteem than he. His life presents a worthy example to the rising generation, affording a practical demonstration of what can be accomplished through concentrated effort.
Mr. Coffin was born in Rindge, New Hampshire, August 6, 1840, the son of George S. and Sarah (Scovell) Coffin. He was a descendant of the old Nantucket family of that name, and his antecedents were also those of Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin of the British Navy, who in 1826 visited the island and who, in memory of his ancestors established a school, endowing the same with a fund of ten thousand dollars. George S. Coffin, the father, was a native of Royalston, Mass., and at one time was extensively engaged in the manufacture of flannels at Ludlow, Vermont, and Winchendon, Mass. Later he conducted a profitable business in grading and scouring wool at Rindge, New Hampshire, and Windsor Locks. His death occurred at Winchendon in 1877. Herbert R. Coffin received his education in the public schools of Ludlow, the Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, and the Conference Academy of West Poultney, Vermont. He began his business career at the age of sixteen years as a clerk in the dry goods commission house of Upson, Tucker & Company, Boston. Three years later and for the next two years he was with W. F. Weld & Company of the same city. Then he joined his father in Rindge, where they established the firm of Herbert R. Coffin & Company to engage in the grading and scouring business. Two years later the firm removed to Windsor Locks, where Mr. Coffin sold out to his father in 1867. He entered the office of the Slar Paper Mills, established by C. H. Dexter, acting as clerk for one year and finally becoming sole proprietor of the business. He was a director of the Connecticut River Banking Company and the Medlicott Company; also Vice-President of the Connecticut River Water Company. He had years of experience in and mastered all details of the paper business and to his careful management is ascribed the wonderful development of the industry. Politically, Mr. Coffin was a Republican and although an active supporter of his party, he never sought office. For twenty-seven years he was a member of the Congregational Church and for twenty-two years acted as deacon. He was deeply devoted to religious matters and gave to them freely of his time and money. On December 4, 1866, he married Mrs. John Sargent Haskell, nee Dexter, daughter of the late C. H. Dexter, and they had three children, Arthur, Herbert R. Jr., and Grace Pierson Coffin. The sons are worthy successors of their father in business. In the words of Holy Writ, the good works of Herbert R. Coffin will follow him.

Story
ARTHUR D. COFFIN
READF.RS of biography see much between the lines.. Very few men who have achieved success tell how they accomplished it. Some refrain through modesty and others find it hard to explain. All, however, remember that there was much effort, much competition, much advice, sought and unsought; and not a little worthy. Success may be compared to a valuable commod'ty in the market. It costs something to get either. The greater the aspiration the more work is involved in realizing it. A great American statesman once said that'college boys who spend study time on the grass or on the chains or on the fence are more than likely to do the same thing in later years for want of something better to do. Indeed the conduct of youthful days is almost invariably a tell-tale of the days to come and this statement is supported by the f dage "As you sow, so shall you reap." So what has been said about reading between the lines of biography may be understood by the reader. The unwritten lines would tell of patience, pluck, perservance, and, above all, upright living.
Arthur Dexter Coffin of Windsor Locks, the subject of the sketch, is one whose life has been of close application to business and he has become well-known throughout thle state, as manufacturer and financier. He was born in Windsor locks, April 25, 1868, and is, therefore in his forty-second year. He is the son of the late Herbert Raymond and Julia S. (Dexter) Coffin. He received his education in the common schools of his native town, the Hartford Public High School and the Philips' Academy of Andover. At the age of twenty he began work in the grist mill owned by C. H. Dexter & Sons and later took charge of the flour mills connected with his father's paper industry. To-day he is at the head of this great paper-making concern which numbers among its products the famous "Princess" Cover, known all over the world. Within the last few years the business has grown materially and there are mills at Windsor Locks and Suffield.
Mr. Coffin is president of the Connecticut Company at Windsor Locks, a trustee of the State Savings Bank and director of the Connecticut River Banking Company of Hartford; also a director of the Medlicott Cotnpay of .Windsor Locks. The latter company manufactures underwear on a large scale. Mr. Coffin is a member of the Nayassett Club, Farmington Country Club, Hartford Club, the Engineers' Club of New York and the Boston Athletic Association. Fraternally he belongs to the Knights Templar and Shriners. On April n, 1904, he married Cora Loomis Drake, from which union they have had two children, one of whom, Dexter Drake Coffin, is living. In politics he is a Republican and while not being an office-seeker, he takes a deep interest in all affairs of town and state.
The life of Mr. Coffin furnishes an object lesson to young men who are striving for success. It will be apparent that the good things have come to him because he had a definite object in view. His motto would seem to be "One thing at a time and that one thing well." Still a comparatively young man even bigger things may be expected of him. Without assumption he represents the noblest type of the indomitable, successful, high-minded man.
