Picture 1 taken late 1800s
It is my understanding that this picture was always on display in the den
of the Armada farmhouse. I also believe that it is a picture of the Leary
homestead on Ohio - possibly Miller City. It was a black and white photo and Eldon Coller colored it with oil paint. Any additional information would
be appreciated.

of Rose and Harry Coller. She and her mother lived in Snover, Michigan just

Picture 7
The woman at the left is Mrs. Willis. The next, holding the
child, is Ida MacClennan Miller. She is holding Claremont
Miller. The child looking up is Elaine Miller Pearce.
The third woman from the left is Violet Willis. I am going to
make a leap here and say that the man at the far right is Mr. Willis
