Notes for JOHN GUSTAVUS ABNER COPELAND:
AKA:John Albert Copeland.
1."Mr. J. A. Copeland died Tuesday from injuries received from falling down the basement stairs at the local telephone exchange building Saturday evening. He and Mrs. Copeland, who were recently home from a stay of several months in California, were at the telephone building visiting with Mrs. J. S. Aldredge, former neighbor, when Mr. Copeland walked into the stairway opening and fell into the basement.
He was given immediate medical attention but never regained consciousness.
Funeral services were at the Methodist Church in Myrtle Creek Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. T. G. Patterson, former pastor of the church, came here from McFarland, Oregon, to preach the sermon. Interment was in the Oddfellow Cemetery. M. S. Ritter of the Rodeburg Undertaking Co., was in charge of the funeral arrangements.
John A. Copeland was past 79 years of age at his death. He was born in the state of Georgia, March 31, 1850. He moved to Alabama with his parents when 17 years of age and in 1876 moved to Texas where he married Miss Lizzie Mitchell. In 1888 he came to Oregon and settled in Jackson County. In 1911 he moved to the present family home on North Myrtle.
The deceased is survived by his widow and by one daughter, Mrs. Harry Cash of Montague, California, and four sons, Jesse Copeland of Denver, Colorado, Harvey Copeland of Ft. Klamath, Oregon, Grover Copeland of Myrtle Creek, Oregon, and Clarence Copeland of Klamath Falls, Oregon."
2.Also found a John Albern Copeland, d. 11 June 1929, Douglas Co, OR (Cert. #116)
3.Seeking information of descendants of John Gustavus Abner Copeland b. 31 March 1850 Stewart County, GA; moved to OR from TX. He was married to Phoebe Elizabeth Mitchell b. 14 Feb. 1860 at Pilgrim Lake, Gonzales County, TX. They took at least some of his younger children to OR with him.
John moved from Gonzales Co. TX to probably Douglas County, OR. The TX family knows it was "Oregon Plum Country." When he died, he was living in North Myrtle Creek, Douglas County, TX. Does anyone know at what cemetery he is buried?
I found a cemetery listing for his son, Grover A. Copeland b. 1888 d. 1970 and what must be his wife, Clara E. Copeland b. 1895 d. 1953 listed in the on-line Cemetery listing as buried at Adams Cemetery in Douglas County, OR.
He had children named John, Sarah, Jesse (m), Harvey, Grover A., and Clarence Copeland.
