Clara Evelyn Coe - 1887 - page 17 of Charles Joslin Call and Elizabeth Ann Coe's photograph album
The fifteenth photo in the album is Clara Evelyn Coe, daughter of Ezra Frank Coe, niece of Elizabeth Ann Coe.
Clara Evelyn Coe was born on 30 December 1886 in Hiawatha, Brown County, Kansas, the daughter of Ezra Frank Coe (1853-1942) and Sarah Frances Ward (1856-1942).
She married Ward Coe Bryant (1881-1975), son of Frank E. Bryant (1858-1944) and Eva S. Coe (1860-1949) on 30 August 1906 at the home of her grandparents Albert Coe and Deborah Prentice in Le Roy, Genesee County, New York. Clara Evelyn Coe and her husband were third cousins, sharing Jesse Coe (1769-1843) and Olive Roberts (1880-1854) as their great great grandparents.
Clara Evelyn Coe and her husband Ward Coe Bryant had four children: Frank Ruddy (1907-1934), Charles Warren (1909-1960), Frederick Ward (1913-1991) and Janet Elizabeth (1921-2006). The Bryant family settled in Greenfield, Franklin County, Massachusetts by 1909, where Ward Coe Bryant was an osteopathic physician.
Clara Evelyn Coe died on 16 October 1972 in Greenfield. Her husband died there on 28 July 1975.
The back of the photograph identifies it as Clara Evelyn Coe, aged 8 months. Since Clara was born on 30 December 1886, the photograph was probably taken in August of September 1887.
At the time, Ezra Frank Coe and his family were living in Hiawatha, Brown County, Kansas at the time. Newspaper articles mention the arrival of Carrie Evelyn and Clara Addie Coe, Ezra younger sisters, in Hiawatha on September 15.
There is no information about the photographer on the photograph, so no information about where it was taken. It is likely the photograph was taken in Hiawatha or somehwere nearby. There was no mention in the local papers has been found of Ezra Coe and family traveling in August or September 1887.
