Edmond Jackson "Eddie" McLean (1903-1994)

Eddie McLean

Here is another of my favorite photographs.  It is one of Eddie McLean and his mules and was probably taken in the mid-to-late 1960s.

Eddie was a son of Andrew Jackson and Martha Jane "Mattie" Church McLean.  He was born Oct. 9, 1903 in Caldwell Co., NC and died there on Dec. 3, 1994 at age 91.

Mattie's parents were James Franklin "Jim" and Laura Virginia Blackburn Church.  Mattie's brother, Joseph Commodore Church, married Vera Esther Coffey, a daughter of David Nathaniel and Caroline Lavinia Coffey Coffey.


I know of no direct kinship of the McLean family with anyone in the Coffey family.

There isn't a source attached to the photograph.  Please let me know if you or someone you know owns this photo.
