Obituary of B. Coppock
Siloam Springs (Ark ) Daily Republican:—
Benjamin Coppock was born of Quaker parents, Aaron and Amy Coppock, Columbiana county, Ohio, March 18, 1830, and died at the home of his son, J . N. Coppock, in Hot Springs, Ark., January 9, 1909, aged 78 years, 9 months and 21 days.
When 12 years of age his parents removed to Henry county. Iowa, and two weeks after their arrival their his mother died.
In 1849, in company with his father, he went overland, the only means of transportation, to California. About a year after their arrival, his father died, and he was left alone.
He remained in California five years taking a prominent part in the stirring times of that age and section.
He returned to Iowa in 1851 and 1855 was united in marriage to Caroline Buffington and settled in Clarke county, Iowa, investing in land.
To the union of this marriage there were born eight children, six of whom, together with his wife, survive him.
The children are as follows: J. N. Coppock, of Hot Springs, Ark.; Henry Coppock, of Asbury, Mo.; Mrs. John Bixler, of Salem, Iowa; Mrs. I. I. Nicole of Mason City. Iowa; Mrs. G. W . Leach, of Independence, Mo., and Mrs. A. W. King, of Minneapolis, Minn. Two children died after reaching maturity, a son, Woody, departing this life in, Siloam Springs, Ark., in 1899 and a daughter, Ella Barger, dying in Clarke, county, Iowa, in 1889.
Benjamin Coppock, during his life, was engaged in several lines of business, among others being lumber and grain and milling. In 1890 he became interested in the banking business at that time associating with several other old settlers of Clarke county, Iowa, in the organization of the Iowa Iowa State Bank, at Osceola, Iowa.
In 1893 he was the prime mover in the organization of the Woodburn Bank, of Woodburn, Clarke county, Iowa.
Of this institution, he was elected president. Since that time he has been identified with the organization of many financial institutions, and filled many official positions in same.
Among others are the Westville Bank, of Westville, Okla., and the State Bank, of this city, having been president of both banks.
He has been connected as a stockholder with many other financial concerns throughout this section of the country during his residence in Siloam Springs which has been since 1898.
Throughout his life he was a busy man and by his upright dealings he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact.
He was a life member of the Friends church and lived a consistent church member.
He was public spirited, and the last business transaction in which he was engaged was the purchase of the recent issue of $5,000 school bonds at Decatur, Ark., same bearing date of December 15, 1908.
A good man has gone and will be missed in this community.
