  • Copyright Not Evaluated
Description:
Harriet is the older woman in the black coat on the right. The young woman in the middle of the back row may resemble Edna (Lewis) Coulter (1907-) - Mrs. Winfred Everson Coulter, who may appear as an older woman in record 10993. The other people shown are probably Harriet's Coulter children and grandchildren. Archivists know their names and dates, but not their identities. Perhaps someone in the family will see this photograph and solve its mysteries? Harriet was the great-great granddaughter of William Gilley (1746-1839). [show more]
