James M. Coffinberry (1818–1891) was admitted to the bar in 1841. He became the Prosecuting Attorney of Lucas County, and editor and owner of the Whig journal, the "Findlay Herald." In 1861, he was elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and alter was President of the Cleveland City Council. He was one of the backers of the Cleveland Viaduct, the first bridge to connect Cleveland to Ohio City and cross the Cuyayhoga River. He also helped to ensure the bridge was free of tolls.
