I have sat on this photo for many, many years. I have looked at this beautiful baby and recognized she is definitely related and certainly a Coley. I previously wrote about her eyes. I looked at it again a few weeks ago and it dawned on me. I recognize the eyes. This looks like my Great Grandmother, Lillian Coley Jonas. She was born in 1898 in Lewiston, Cache, Utah. The clothing, the baby carriage, all fit her time frame. Here is another picture of her as a baby.
Looking through my website, I realize I have not written a history of Lillian’s parents, Herbert and Martha Coley. I have written about the video from Martha’s funeral. I have written on Herbert’s parents, Stephen & Hannah Coley. I have even written of the Coley cabin. Looks like an item of business to work on in the near future.



Hi Paul can I have your permission to copy the photographs of Lillian Coley when she was very young. I wish to add them to my family ancestry that I am putting together
Regards Anthony Coley
