Dr. Coleman & May Ammerman. |
Dr. Coleman R. Ammerman and his wife "May" (Hall) Ammerman moved from Lewis County Missouri to Colorado City, Colorado. His health failed him in 1908 and he stopped practicing as a physician.
Dr. Ammerman had served Colorado City as its mayor for a term beginning in 1892, and also served as the city clerk. Mrs. Ammerman, was elected city clerk of Colorado City in 1913. The office included the duties of the police judge. In this capacity, Mary Elizabeth "May" (Hall) Ammerman became the first woman judge in the state of Colorado.
Dr. and Mrs. Ammerman had two children. Coleman Reed Ammerman was born about 1903 and died rather young. His sister was named Elizabeth. She married a J. J. Hutchinson and they lived in Auburn, NB.
We've lost track of them, but May Ammerman sent these pictures back to her family in Missouri.

Two photographs in a folder embossed with the name, Dean

We aren't sure when Elizabeth was born. Maybe she came later in the Ammermans' lives. We haven't seen any photographs that show Reed and Elizabeth together. |
