Bernard Coffindaffer, a native of Craigsville, Nicholas County, West Virginia, began erecting sets of three crosses in September 1984. The first set was in Flatwoods, Braxton County, West Virginia. Following a heart surgery, Coffindaffer said he was called by God to do it. Thousands of sets later, Coffindaffer was bankrupt and died in October 1993 at 68.
