Coleman, Jessie Blanche Munch (1892-1943)
Jessie (Munch) Coleman standing beside a wicker chair and wearing a long skirt and blouse. Jessie was from Fort Valley, the daughter of Jacob (1849-1928) and Margaret (McInturff) (1854-1932) Munch. In the 1900 census, she was the youngest of five children. The family farmed. In 1908, at just 16 years old, she married Charles F. Clem (1884-1912), also from Fort Valley. His parents were John F. and Amanda J. Clem. The 1910 census found the couple living with his mother and brother. Jessie was listed as having had a child but it was no longer alive. The couple moved to Detroit, Michigan, shortly after that. Tragically, her husband was killed in December 1912, when he fell off a roof where he was working. His body was sent back to Fort Valley for burial. Jessie stayed in Detroit where, over several years she appeared in the annual directories there. The 1920 census found her living as a lodger on High Street, West, still in Detroit. She worked as a “Ladies tailor” and had her own shop. She moved to southern California in the early 1920s and married Ernest Newton Coleman (1892-1979), originally from Kingman County, Kansas. It is unclear whether Jessie and Ernest met and married in Michigan or California. Their daughter, Margaret Jane Coleman, was born in California, in 1923. Ernest was a landscape gardener and for two decades, until Jessie died, the couple lived in the Los Angeles area.
Identified in 2006 by Margie (Powell) Lichliter, a niece of the subject.
