Front L-R: Bonnie, Velma and James W.; Rear R-L: Mattie and Jesse (c1920)
Jesse Edward Coffey, born Mar. 18, 1895, was the son of James Lawson and Leah Meadows Coffey. In about 1904 he married Martha J. Anderson, in Missouri probably, and died Sep. 30, 1960. He and Martha were the parents of at least three children:
- James W., born c1906; Bonnie, born Sep. 17, 1913, died Feb. 5, 1919 and Velma, date of birth unknown.
The only census in which I have found this family was the 1910, Gentry Co., MO:
