Narrative

Children of Henry H. Copeland and Sarah W. Reeves:

1. Mary J Copeland, b. c1840, m. Cyrus P. Stevenson
2. Lizzie Ella Copeland, b. c1842
3. Emma Copeland, b. c1844
4. George Copeland, b. c1845
5. Harry Copeland, b. c1850
6. William Copeland, b. c1852

The family Bible of her sister Elizabeth Reeves states that Sarah J. Reeves married H. H. Copeland. However, the census and other records consistently give her middle initial as "W."

Cemetery records indicate she was buried 20 Oct 1916. Her headstone is incorrect, giving the birth year 1821 and death 1917.
