General Notes: Husband - Harry E. Cope


He was educated in the public schools of his native district, and later attended Washington & Jefferson College, from which he was graduated with the class of 1900. In the year 1898 he went as a member of Company H, Tenth Regiment of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, to the Philippine Islands, where he remained for about nine months, an experience which he greatly valued. On his return he re-entered college and continued his studies. After this event, having already decided to take up law as a profession, he entered the office of Gaither & Woods, attorneys, in Greensburg, and was admitted to the bar, May 5, 1903. Besides his admission to the county bar, Mr. Cope was admitted to practice before all the courts of the State. He opened his office in Greensburg in the same year and practiced alone. But the private practice in which he engaged gave place after a time to a more public function and he became the assistant district attorney of Westmoreland County. He was a member of the Council of Manor, and was otherwise very active in all public affairs. Mr. Cope was a staunch supporter of Republican principles and policies, and was active as a member of the local organization of that party.
He and his wife were members of the Lutheran church at Manor.
