      Claude Coleman, Sr., 89, of Cobbtown died Wednesday, June 20, 2012, at his home under Living Care Hospice. He was the last surviving son of the six children of Remer and Ollie Lee Rewis Coleman, and was raised at Cobbtown.

      Claude was an Army Combat veteran serving in World War II. He was wounded and captured by the German SS the day after President Franklin D. Roosevelt died. Liberation day came 60 days later when the hospital was taken over by U.S. troops.

He is a member of the Connors Baptist Church and was very active in the Metter AA Group. He was preceded in death by his longtime companion, Mary Williams.
