One from my second cousin, a Coley, dated Apr 24, 1982, he talked to his mother whom was 98 at the time. She confirmed much that I had on the Coley and added alot. She said that Edna B. Pollard Coley went to live with her daughter in her old age. When she died, she was buried in the William allen Beck Cemetery. Her father and mother (Willie Pollard and Ann Davis) are also buried there. Willie was called "Flat". Children of EDNA POLLARD and ISHAM COLEY are: i. ANN HAZELTIME3 COLEY, m. THOMAS WILLIS COE. ii.
