Carson S. Coleman
Evarts
March 14, 2005
Carson S. Coleman, an Evarts businessman who served 32 years as the Clover Fork representative on the Harlan County Board of Education, died March 14, 2005, at Taylor Manor Nursing Home in Versailles.
He moved to Harlan County at a young age, driving cattle across the Virginia line at Holmes Mill when his father was looking for work in the logging business.
In the 1930s, he and his brothers started Coleman Brothers Piggly Wiggly, which wasn't very successful due to the hard times of The Great Depression. Coleman went to work for Harlan Hardware where he earned the nickname as the local 'Maytag Man, ' repairing and selling used washers.
Coleman opened his own business in 1935 in Evarts ''Coleman's Furniture and Hardware'' which is still in operation. He earned a reputation for kindness.
'As long as a person had a job, he sold a lot of stuff on credit, ' said former Evarts teacher and coach Earl Rogers, a friend of Coleman's. 'He gave the poor people the opportunity to get what they needed and pay for it so much a month.'
In his time with the board of education, he earned a reputation for his fiscal responsibility and commitment to his county.
'He was a board member you could go in and talk to like he was your dad or mom, ' said Rogers. 'And he always stuck with Harlan County ... if there was a job and there was a local person who could do it, they would get the job if they were qualified.'
Coleman was also a member, Sunday school teacher and treasurer of the Evarts Congregational United Methodist Church. He was a graduate of Harlan High School and attended Mars Hill College in North Carolina. He was a member and president of the Evarts Lions Club and was on the board of directors of Harlan Federal Savings & Loan Association.
He was preceded in death by his parents: Robert Hamilton Coleman and Molly Virginia Fleenor Coleman; his wife, Marie Pace Coleman; three brothers: Orbin, Clarence and Hobert Coleman; and six sisters: Abbie Gibson, Geniva Cook, Myrtle King, Lillie Rowland, Ruby Lasley and Dolly Coleman.
Survivors include his daughter, Gayle Grot and husband, Robert, Lexington; his son, Carlo B. Coleman, Jeffersonville, Ind.; his sister, Polly Coleman; four grandchildren: Jerry N. Grot, S. Bradley Grot, Carla C. Stallard and Paula M. Flispart; one great grandchild, Olivia Marie Grot; one special nephew, Benny Dale Coleman; and several nieces and nephews.
