Thousands came from all over the county and nation to pay respects to Coshocton’s most famous citizen who had passed away, William Green, who rose from the coal mining in Coshocton to become head of the American Federation of Labor. After a brief eulogy given by Baptist minister, Rev. John Shanley, mourners drove to South Lawn Cemetery where Green was laid to rest in peace. The walls of the Glass Funeral Home were covered with flowers, although the family requested no flowers, which exceeded $10,000 in cost. An estimated 5,000 friends of the labor leader filed past his casket.

1962
November 25th, 1962 The new West Lafayette United Methodist Church had just been completed. The church featured an all-glass front, church office, pastor’s study, kitchen, parlor, crib room, nursery, choir room, modern restrooms, and a furnace room. The first service in the new building was to be Dec. 2 at 10:30 a.m. and another at 3 p.m. with Dr. S. Lee Whiteman, assistant to the bishop. Rev. David Patton, pastor of the church for the previous three years, presided at the groundbreaking ceremonies on March 11 of that year. The cost of the new building and furnishings was approximately $145,000.
1972
November 26th, 1972 A gift of $10,000 from the Coshocton Foundation had put the library building fund over its goal of $45,000. The fund drive was made necessary by a provision of the Library Services and Constitution Act, requiring a community to raise over 55% of the cost or remodeling of a building. To qualify for receiving contributions from the state, the library had to raise at least $37,300 from the community. The library board then established a goal of $45,000 to insure adequate money for furnishings. The drive began in September and the Coshocton Foundation donation put them over the top at $50,418.54.
