Coffin, A. D., p. o. Oakfield, N. Y., was born in Middlefield, N. Y., October 10, 1845, a son of Ferran and
Harriet (North) Coffin. He was educated in the common schools and commenced farming, making a specialty of hop
raising. In 1875 he began the manufacture of a fertilizer for his own use and afterwards started a large factory
in Oneonta, N. Y. He came to Oakfield in 1891, and started a plant of seventyfive tons capacity per day, the product
of which found a wide distribution. Mr. Coffin married Charlotte, daughter of George Parchall of Otsego county;
their children are Luella, Gilbert and George.
