Find-A-Grave gives interment at Oak Hill Cemetery, Washington, DC, USA, and reproduces an obituary from the Washington Evening Star of 1897-01-12:

Although he had lived a rather retired life for a number of years past Mr. Coffey had filled several positions of importance and honor in earlier life. He was a native of Huntingdon, Pa., and as a young man studied law in the office of Judge Bates. When the latter was made Attorney General under President Lincoln, Mr. Coffey was made his assistant and a number of years had charge of the interests of the government in all cases before the United States Supreme Court. When Governor Curtin was appointed minister to Russia Mr. Coffey, one of his intimate friends, was made secretary of the legation, but he resigned later to travel with his family through Europe, Mr. Coffey spent a considerable amount of his time traveling abroad, but always kept his home in this city, where the family held a prominent place in society.

The grave gives wife Mary Kerr Coffey 1828-04-09 to 1913-01-24, son Harry Kerr Coffey 1855-12-01 to 1889-08-18, and LHC 11638.
