Her name was Bessie F. (Smith) Coon. I believe she was born approx. 1889. I have received information that her father Frank Peter Smith was from rural Rock Co., Minn. her mother was Addie Mae Carr. Bessie married Charles Wilbur Coon on 6/16/1902. They had 2 children that I know of; Mary Ethelwyn {Ethelwyn} (Coon) Spease married to Chester Clare Spease, and Dorothy Electa (Coon) married Joseph Walker and Earl Hinman Moran. Any information or assistance you may be able to provide to me would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Laura
