I’ve always like this old photo of Guy’s Grandma Rosie and her sisters, daughters of Jerome W. and Anna Coleman of Glidden, Iowa.
Jerome and Anna came to Iowa from Bureau County, Illinois, with baby daughter Julia. Jerome helped form the Farmer’s Elevator Company in Glidden and eventually owned 1000 acres of Carroll County land.
Anna gave birth to two more daughters and one son, Charles William Coleman, who served in WWI.
Julia Bell Coleman Graves, Rosie Mae Coleman Kidney, and Edith Grace Coleman Dankle were the sisters.
The farmland inherited from her father by Guy’s Grandma Rosie is now owned by Guy’s mother, Carol Kidney Herman, and has been designated a Century Farm, owned by the same family for at least 100 years.
