General Notes: Husband - Roger Cope


He obtained his preliminary education in the public schools and for two years attended Mount Union College. Upon reaching a decision to make the law his life work he began to study with his brother Rufus, later entering the law department of the University of Michigan, whence he was graduated in the class of 1881. He immediately came to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and for one year was in the law office of Chamberlain & Peirsol, in New Brighton, being admitted to the bar of the county, December 5, 1881. On March 10 of the following year he opened his own office in Beaver Falls and practiced there continuously for more than thirty years. His practice was general in character, cases of all kinds finding their way to his desk. For two years he served as solicitor for the council. He was a member of the Beaver County Bar Association, the Knights of Pythias, and the Independent Order of Americans.
