COLEMAN FAMILY REUNION

The Coleman Family reunion was held Sunday, July 28, 2013 at the Sequoyah Birthplace Museum in Vonore, Tennessee. This reunion was for the descendants of Laura Ellen Self Coleman and Jessie Anderson Coleman. It was a beautiful afternoon for the reunion. The breeze off Tellico Lake made it very comfortable. Everyone who attended enjoyed a delicious meal and some great fellowship. Approximately 50 attended. Several came from other states. I will try to post some photos if anyone who attended shares some with me.
