November 11, 1934Charleston, S.C., Nov. 10 - George M. Coffin, veteran of the Civil War, died here this morning unexpectedly. He would have been 87 years old on Dec. 20. A native of Charleston, he had returned here after his retirement in 1933. He said in a recent interview he had been banking "from the cradle to the grave," having been associated actively with banks in the depression of 1873, 1893, 1907 and 1929, a record said to have unequaled.
Graduating from the Citadel here in 1864, Mr. Coffin, at the age of 17, became a lieutenant in the Confederate Army and led boy troops out of Columbia S.S., four hours before the arrival of Sherman. He went to Washington in 1886, after several years as an accountant, to be associated with the office of the Controller of the Currency. He became, twelve years later, an officer in New York banks, the Phenix and Chatham Phenix, as vice president, and then as receiver of the First National Bank of Putnam, Conn., and the Woodsocket (R.I.) Bank. He also was a national bank examiner.
Surviving are two sons, Haskell Coffin, artist, and Frank T. Coffin, one of the pioneer pilots of the Wright airplanes, and a daughter, Mrs. Wallace A. Beatty of New York.

Montgomery Advertiser
June 22, 1922Dr. P. Sauve Rhett, one of the popular young men of Montgomery and an esteemed employee of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company died about 4 o�clock yesterday afternoon at the home of his sister, Mrs. E. R. Taber, 720 South Perry Street, after an illness of several weeks duration.
But few of Dr. Rhetts friends knew that he was ill and those who knew of his illness did not realize his condition was critical. The news of his death spread rapidly over the city and came as a shock to his friends.
Dr. Rhett was taken ill about three weeks ago with malarial fever and up to a few days ago was improving but a sudden change in his condition developed yesterday Tuesday afternoon and from that time to his death he grew gradually worse.
Dr. Rhett was born October 4, 1867, in Charleston, S.C. and was a son of the late Benjamin S. Rhett, a distinguished citizen of that city and a member of the celebrated Rhett family of South Carolinsa. He was educated in the schools of Charleston and at the University of Virginia. After leaving college at Charlottesville, Dr. Rhett entered the Medical School at Tulane University at New Orleans and was graduated from that institution.
He practiced his profession for some years in Mississippi but gave it up several years ago because he found it unsuited to his taste. Dr. Rhett came to Montgomery about seven years ago and has since that time made his home in this city. He was a man of fine mental attainment. His affable disposition and polished manners made him friends wherever he went and to know him was to like him.
Two sisters, Mrs. E. R. Taber of Montgomery and Mrs. I. D. Hasell of Charleston survive him.
