Yes, it is definitely West Point, MS -- the copy of this news article is a very clear and good copy. It was printed from microfilm of "The Florence Herald" of Florence, Lauderdale Co., AL, and was probably published as an item of area interest since West Point is in or close to the area that the paper covered -- Moss Point is much further south.
If you can obtain a death certificate from Indiana and/or check funeral home records in or around West Point as well as census records, you may be able to determine if there is a connection to your Coleman's. One other thing, while it is reasonable to think that the Mrs. George T. Coleman mentioned was his wife, there is a possibility she was his mother.
Good luck in your search,
