Mrs. Emma J. Wegman

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Mrs. Emma J. WEGMAN which was taken at the Benjamin Studio in Cincinnati, OH. The photograph was taken in the 1900's with Emma appearing to be in her 30's or 40's at the time it was taken. In addition to her name, someone has also written "Gram" on the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Emma and her family:

Emma J. COEN was b. 5 May 1869 in Covington, KY to parents James J. COEN (b. 1837 in Ireland-1875) and Louisa MARKS (1838-d. 1899 in Kentucky). Emma had two siblings from the same parents, Elizabeth Louisa COEN (1872-1898) and Peter Matthew COEN (1874-1953). Her Mother was married previously to Daniel MCCONNELL (b. 1832 in Ireland – d. 1862 in Minnesota) and they had two children, a son Daniel Augistine MCCONNELL (1859-1936); and a daughter Annie MCCONNELL (b. 1862). Emma’s parents were married in Cincinnati, OH in 1866. Emma married Frank Julius WEGMAN (b. 1870 in Kentucky-1954) in 1890 and together they had 6 children including, Manola Elizabeth; Frances Louise; Cyriac James; Lloyd C.; and Norbert Edmund; and Annie WEGMAN.

Emma died 2 Feb 1957 in Covington, KY and is buried in the Saint Mary’s Cemetery in Fort Mitchell, KY.

I’m hoping to locate someone from Emma’s family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
