From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Chalkley Coffin (October 25, 1887 – June 8, 1934) was a United States Representative from Idaho. Coffin served as a Democrat in the House from 1933 to 1934.

Born in Caldwell, Idaho Territory, he attended Yale University's Sheffield Scientific School, where he was a member of St. Anthony Hall, and was graduated from the law department of Yale University in 1910. Coffin represented the state's Second Congressional District. He defeated Republican incumbent Addison T. Smith in 1932 but died midway through his term.

Coffin was struck by an automobile on a driveway in the south grounds of the U.S. Capitol, June 4, 1934, and died four days later at Providence Hospital, Washington, D.C.
