Excerpt from a newspaper article that appeared in a number of newspapers on Feb. 11, 1932, during a time when Japan had attacked Shanghai, China:
.."Mrs. Coltman, whose husband (William Pethick Coltman) is connected with the Standard Oil company in Nanking, belongs to a family with a half century of experience in China. Her husband's father, the late Doctor Robert Coltman, was personal physician to Li Yuan-Hung and many others prominent in the Manchu court.
Charles Coltman, another son of Dr. Coltman, was killed by Chinese soldiers at Kalgan in 1922 and the Chinese government paid his family an indemnity of $25,000, after long diplomatic negotiations. Manager of a Monglolian trading company, Coltman was fired on without provocation. He was accompanied by Samuel Sokobin, American Consul at Kalgan, who escaped with slight injury."
