Janie Myrtle Copeland was the second child born to William Marion COPELAND and his wife, Mary Eliza Janie Copeland, nee' LEWIS.
She was known as Myrtle. She died at age 3 years 1 month 8 days, from complications from the measles that she contracted immediately following a bout of whooping cough. Both were childhood diseases that cost many young lives in that era.
She is buried within or adjacent to a LEWIS family plot that contains several unmarked graves. Many years later, after the death of her parents, the remaining family members realized that they did not know the relationship between her mother and the members of the Lodowick Ludlow Lewis family whose family plot she shares.
If anyone has any further information regarding the link between these families, please contact me. Myrtle's parents were my Grandparents, as I was a late life surprise to their youngest surviving child. I would greatly appreciate any information.
