The family moved to near Bethany, Mo., when he was about nine years old, later moving to Kinsley county, Kansas. In 1871 he came to Adams county, Iowa, and after a short stay, returned to Kansas, where he resided until 1874, when he came to Ringgold county, Iowa. On December 17th, 1885 he was married to Mary Swope of Clearfield, and here they have resided ever since. To this union were born five children, three sons, Granville, Orville and David dying in infancy. His wife, one son, Woodson L., and one daughter Lena Steward; also the son-in-law, F. P. Steward, two grandchildren; one brother, W. A. Swope of Zenda, Kansas; nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends survive. For several years Mr. Swope was in the harness business in Clearfield, then for a time in the produce business, and in January, 1898 he became postmaster continuing in that capacity for thirteen and a half years. In July of 1911 he again went into the produce business, continuing until ill health caused him to retire four years ago. He was a charter member of the Clearfield Church of Christ, was for years Bible school superintendent and Bible class teacher. He was a zealous Christian, a loving husband and father, a loyal friend and neighbor, always doing good wherever his hand found it to do. He has filled various positions of trust and honor in the town, especially in its earlier days. For fifty years he was a member of the Masonic Order. Funeral services were held in the Church of Christ Wednesday afternoon, April 24th, pastor Philip Nystrand officiating, assisted by the Rev. H. B. Hutchman of the United Presbyterian church. Singing was by a mixed sextette. Interment was in Clearfield cemetery. The funeral was conducted with the ritualistic services of the Masonic Order at church and later at the cemetery, Mr. Clyde Stanley of Beaconsfield giving the address and having charge of the impressive services, both at church and cemetery.
