Ersal Coleman and brothers in Missouri

I thought I answered this last evening, but it didn't register.My father was Freemie Irvin Coleman, the oldest of three Coleman brothers.The middle one was Ersal, and the youngest Otto Maurice.They were sons of William J. and Elizabeth Coleman.I think all were born in Cass County, Garden City, MO.My father was a photographer in Garden City in the early 1900s, and probably took the picture you have.He took many pictures of events that happened, and put them on post cards to sell.But if you have pictures of the three brothers, there is probably a kinship connection.Their father had a number of brothers and sisters, so there were lots of cousins around....Please get in touch, and we will see what we can come up with for information.Beverly Coleman McClellan
My mother was Addie Letha Suffecool Coleman, raised in Enid, OK, but born in Garden City.My parents had a store in Warrensburg, MO just across the street from Central Missouri State College then, University, now.
