It is estimated that Mrs. Ada was born abt 1916, she married Walter Wren. They had three children: Deloris, Dorothy, and Walter. According to the 1920 United States Federal Census, her parents were Dave and Jennie Coleman.
Dave was born abt 1897 and was living in Kentwood, Louisiana. He was born in St. Helena Parish. He worked Kent Mills Co. His mother was named Ada Meredith Brown Coleman and his father was named William Coleman.
Mrs. Ada and her husband Walter lived on Bennett Road in Amite, Louisiana upon their death. They both worked hard to provide for their family. She was a nurse and her husband was a farmer.
My grandmother Josephine Richardson Harrell was very close friends. My grandmother didn't drive and on some Sunday's Mrs. Ada would drive home after church. She kept a beautiful smile on her face all the time. No matter when you saw her, she was always very neat. It was women on Bennett road like Mrs. Ada, Mrs. Genora Johnson Wheeler, Mrs. Helen Edwards, and my Aunt Lena Temple that help make their community a strong community. She passed away in 1991.
