Description
Coed Coloma Grave. A miner, John S. Covington, who died in [Sept. 3] 1884, was buried in the Coloma Cemetery in the precise, but unmarked, spot where miss Wilson was laid to rest 27 years earlier. And Texas Ellen now emerges as the central figure in the Jan. 24-26 [1975] celebration commemorating the discovery of gold at Coloma and honoring "Ladies of the Gold Rush Era." June Scott, left, author of a melodrama about Texas Ellen, and Donna Truly, who portrays the early-day prostitute, stands beside the "coed" grave.
