General Notes: Husband - Samuel D. Cope

---

He spent his early life on his father's farm, attending the public schools, and when he attained his majority began farming operations independently. Upon the death of his father he received a share of the old homestead of which Jesse Cope had been the original farmer, and by purchasing the interest of a brother became the owner of two hundred and fourteen acres, of which he still held one hundred and forty-five acres at his death. Sheep raising was the business in which he engaged most extensively and with the greatest success, his large flocks bringing him profitable returns. Not only did he sell the wool that he obtained from his own sheep, but he performed the duties of a middleman between many of his neighbors, whose flocks were not large enough to warrant direct dealings with manufacturers and owners of woolen mills. He was a Republican in politics and an implacable foe of slavery, and hiding places on his farm were often the asylum of negroes flying to the Canadian borders. The family religion was continued in him; his wife belonged to the Methodist denomination.
