After a useful life Rev. Elijah COPLEN passed away at his home on Mill Creek street Sunday morning at about six thirty o'clock.
Mr. Coplen was born in Shetland county, Ohio, and came to Indiana with his parents in boyhood, and became a resident of Marshall county. There, fifty-two years ago, September 22 last, he was united in marriage. He became the father of nine children, seven of whom are now living, viz: Mrs. Sabitha [COPLEN] BUSENBURG; Simon [COPLEN], of Logansport; Hiram [COPLEN], of Delphos, Ohio; Mrs. Tena [COPLEN] BUEHLER, Mrs. Rena [COPLEN] RUSSELL, of Rochester; Mrs. Nora [COPLEN] DRAPER, of Chicago, and Willis [COPLEN], of Rochester.
About thirty-five years ago Mr. Coplen was ordained a minister of the Christian church. He preached for many years but, owing to his infirmity for the past few years, was forced to give up his pulpits. He was a very prominent marrying pastor and during the past ten years has officiated at many ceremonies that united young and old couples. He was a good man and his life was one well served.
Mr. Coplen had been ill for many weeks and he gradually grew weaker until his death. The funeral will be held Wednesday at 2 o'clock. Interment at I.O.O.F. cemetery.
