The Rev. Bernard Coffindaffer died Oct. 8, 1993, of a heart

attack. A near-fatal heart attack years earlier convinced the

Craigsville coal operator that he must save souls for God. He used

his money to erect clusters of three crosses - two painted gold and

one blue - along highways in West Virginia and other states as far

south as Florida. He was one of the West Virginians featured in

"Different Drummers," produced by the Morgantown public

television station. The Gazette, The Washington Post and The

Miami Herald are among the newspapers that wrote about the

Methodist minister and his life's work. A Martinsburg artist

received a handsome grant for his photographs of the crosses,

most of which are still standing. (Photo by Jacob Young)
