The notation on the back of this photo reads: “Grandma Coleman (66 years) July 4th, 1969 Wallowa, Oregon. It’s in my mom’s handwriting so I know that she was the one on the other side of the camera. I would have been not quite two when the family celebrated the 4th of July in Wallowa that year.
“Grandma Coleman” is Edna Winifred (Weaver) Kennison Coleman. She married a man named Trell Coleman after her first husband, Harry Kennison, died in his thirties.
(Edna is my great-grandmother. She is the mother of Shirley Marcilee (Kennison) Sannar.)
