COPLEN, 80, a pioneer citizen of Rochester and Fulton county, passed away Thursday evening, eight o'clock at his home, 831 Monroe street, this city. Death resulted from complications following an illness of two months duration. The deceased who had resided in Fulton county for 78 years had a host of friends throughout Fulton and adjacent counties. In 1898 he was elected marshal of the town of Rochester and served in that capacity until 1902. From that year until 1912 he owned and operated a dray line in this city. He was elected sheriff of Fulton county in 1912 on the Democratic ticket, serving a four year term. Since 1916 Mr. Coplen operated a taxi line in Rochester and also delivered the U. S. mail to and from the local postoffice to the Erie railroad depot. Failing health compelled his retirement from the taxi business but a few weeks ago. James V., son of Isaac and Sarah (SEVERNS) COPLEN, was born June 5th, 1862 at Koshocton, Ohio. He came to Fulton county with his parents when but two years of age and resided on a farm in Newcastle township, where he grew to manhood. On September 17, 1885 he was united in marriage with Miss Addie ENTSMINGER of this city. Mr. Coplen was a member of the Knights of Pythias Lodge and was active in the affairs of the Democratic party in Fulton county. The survivors are his wife; a son, Eugene COPLEN, both of Rochester; a daughter, Mrs. Horatio S. AGSTER, of Harrisburg, Pa.; a sister, Mrs. Justina TAYLOR, of Palestine; five grandchildren, James [COPLEN], Morris [COPLEN] and Allen COPLEN; Jean FETTER and Dick AGSTER; and two great-grandchildren, Lee FETTER and Susan COPLEN. Last rites will be held at the Coplen residence, Sunday afternoon, 2:30 o'clock, with Rev. Harry J. BAILEY, pastor of the Baptist church, officiating.
