This is an absolutely great family portrait, taken around 1913. Luke Coyan was a first cousin to my great-grandfather, William Coyan. I doubt that they ever met one another, since Luke lived in Oklahoma and my great-grandfather spent his entire life here in Jackson, Ohio. Many thanks to Jeanette Coyan Maxfield, a granddaughter of Luke and Josephine Amer Coyan, for this photo!
