Apparently there was a big inside joke with the Lewis family about this enormous fur coat.
I can't give you the particulars on it, other than that was the passed down consensus on it, and the fact that we have photographic antics of everyone trying it on.
All photos are from the personal albums of Patty Stewart.

| Older Lewis sister wearing the coat (Annie? Georgie? Nonie?) (Maybe even Charlie's mother, Elizabeth? It looks an awful lot like her...) "Feb 15, 1915" *Additional photo of this shot in reverse is dated 1916, but I think the 1915 date is more likely. |
