Amanda Jane was the eldest of five children of Julia Alice Bellomy and Randolph Wells, who were married Aug 20, 1885. Ran had five sons by prior marriages (Alfred/Henry/Charles/Jim/Frank); none lived with Ran and Alice.

Their mother, Alice, didn't recover and died within months of Minnie's birth; Minnie was given up for adoption.
Amanda married James (Jim) Henry Coleman (born Dec 2, 1869 in Wayne Iowa) on March* 14, 1906 {*per obit; an internet record says May 14, 1906}. They lived the remainder of their lives in their little white house in Creighton. Amanda and Jim had two children: Leonard Henry, born March 25, 1910 and Leulla M. born June 21, 1918.
