Other than being President of the Far West League (1948-1951?), what was Coleman known for?

it's been over a year, but i think i finally figured out the one on the far left.

I think it's Clarence D. Bell with the inscription "Senator".  very random.

Clarence D. Bell is a former Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate.^[2] He also served as a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1955 to 1960.^[3] At his death in 2002, Bell was the longest-serving public official in Pennsylvania and remains the longest serving official in Pennsylvania history with a record 48 years in office.^[4]
