About Our Agency |
The roots of our agency actually extend all the way
back to 1920, when J.C. Coggeshall abandoned his prior career of selling
horse-drawn buggies and farm spray rigs, and became an agent for the
Home Life Insurance Company. Eventually dropping the life business,
in 1934 he began selling home, farm and auto products through the
Buckeye Union Insurance Company (now Encompass Insurance). Upon his
death in 1950, his son James L. Coggeshall took over the business,
and it continued to grow and prosper until his retirement in 1974.

At that time, he sold the family agency to Larry Simmons, who had
begun his own agency in Coolville in 1970. In 1976, a new building
was completed and Coggeshall-Simmons Insurance, Inc. began doing business
at what is still our current location. We are proud to provide insurance
and financial products to several thousand residents and businesses
in our area, and we are committed to building a solid relationship
with our customers through practical solutions and excellent service.

Our agents are members of the Professional Insurance Agents Association
and the Ohio Independent Agents Association, and we continually update
our education to keep pace with the fast-changing insurance marketplace.
|
| |
| The agents at Coggeshall-Simmons Insurance, Inc. are independent agents.
This means we don’t work for any one insurance company; we sell coverage
from several different companies. This allows us to focus on providing
you with the right amount of insurance and the right type of coverage
for your needs. |
| |
| We also believe in the value of you as the insurance consumer being
able to sit down face-to-face with your agent to ask questions and
get help when you need it. Service has been the key to our success
from the beginning, and will continue to be. The insurance business
is a lot more complex than it was in the days of J.C. Coggeshall and
the horse-drawn buggies, but we still strive for the hometown, personal
touch. Contact us today to see for yourself what a difference this
can make! |
