Warren C. Coffin

Warren Coffin Born February 25, 1844 in Boscawen, New Hampshire. Died October 2, 1929 in Chicago, Illinois. He spent most of his life in Chicago. He was one of Chicago's well known musicians. For 50 years he directed large church choirs in Chicago. For more than 30 years he was music professor at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He was also a Reverend. A newspaper clipping that we have about he and his wife's 50th anniversary says that he was a charter member of the Apollo Musical Club and the Imperial Male Quartet. I don't have a lot of info on his religious background. But, we do know that he was a Christian since he is connected with Moody Bible Institute (est. 1886) and probably The Moody Church (est 1864). The Moody Church website today says that they are a non-denominational church. Not sure if has always been non-denominational. I would think not. I have contacted The Moody Church to see what they can tell me about Warren. But I haven't gotten a reply. Probably because they are closed now due to the Coronavirus, like all other churches. When I do hear from them, I'll let you know if I get some new information that we didn't know about. I'm eager to go to The Moody Church the next time I'm in the Chicago area. Most of my family lives in the Chicago suburbs except me. I live in Washington, Missouri.
