Dies of Heart Attack
Banning. Cal.. June 10 'U.R)
Mrs. Nellie Coffman, 82-ycar-old
"mother" of Palm Springs,
Cal.. died today of a heart at
tack. The founder and owner of the
desert inn in the resort town was
staving at her summer home
here.
Mrs. Coffman started the hotel
in 1909 and developed it into a
multi-million dollar property.
She also was credited with orig
inating and carrying out most
civic improvement projects that
boomed Palm Springs into a
large resort.
Many a wily female has coaxed
her spouse into taking care of
the kiddies, but the mamma gaff
topsail satfi?h really stretches
the point. For about 80 days
her mate patiently holds a
mouthful of eggs the size of
marbles. He doesn't swallow
them, but neither does he get to
swallow any food.
