Local Chapter Undertakes Some
Splendid Missionary Work In
Kentucky--Distaff Day
Observed

The Daughters of the American
Revolution spent most enjoyable
day on Wednesday last at the home
of Webb Anders near Fredericktown.
Mrs. Anders and Mrs. c. N. Hildreth
Of Fredericktown acted as hostesses.
The chapter has set aside one day
each year for Distaff Day, retaining
the old colonial custom. This day
is devoted to charity work, though
the object of the organization is pa
triotic rather than charitable. This
year the appeal for help came from
the mountain school to which the
Kokosing chapter sends a small sun
of money yearly. 1t was a call to helT
a truly American family, the Ken
tucky mountaineers.
The sewing was done for seven
motherless children, the youngest be.
ing four years old. For several years
the crude mountaineer father has
washed, ironed, baked, sewed and
made the living for his flock. But as
they were all about to enter this
school, the father felt unequal to the
sewing now. Next week box will
go to them, well-filled with warm
clothes and bedding.
A bountiful dinner was served at
the noon hour. During the course of
the afternoon Mrs. Clyde Conley
gave an interesting paper on "The
Mound Builders" with crayon sketch.
es of the various mounds described
Mrs. John Gotshall gave short talk
on current events. Twenty-three OF
the forty-three members were in at
tendance.

Joseph Fl. Colopy was the son of
Jacob and Delilah Sapp Colopy born
Dec. 1, 1884. Jacob Colopy, his father,
was born in Maryland, coming to
Knox county in 1910, and to the farm
in Union township in 1920, where the
subject of this sketch was born and
where he resided continuously until
his death on Oct. II, 1916. His faith
er's home was one of the pioneer
homes in this section of the county
and this son, with other children of
the home, perused his education in
the log school house, and became ia
miliar with the hardships and exper-
fences of frontier life, but as the
years passed he had seen the wonder
full development which civilization
has introduced. and no one enjoyed
them more or took more active part
in bringing progressive development
to the community than he did, always
any public enterprise.
In 1871 he married Jennie Durbin,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Bazle Dur
bin. To this union one child was
born that reached adult age, Bessie,
| now Mrs Julias A. Smith. Mrs. Col-
opy died in 1882
In 1885 he married Eliza Porter
widow of the late Solomon H. Por
| ter, to which union one son, Joseph
l.. Colopy, was born, who with his
mother survive him. He was a
member of st. Luke's Catholic church
at Danville.
Mr.. Colopy had always given his
attention to agricultural pursuits, in
later years more especially to the
sheep industry, and all his labors
were crowned with success.
He was a man Of the most affable
and kind disposition, and for which
he is so fondly remembered, his life
being one of marked industry, char
acterized by fidelity to every duty and
the faithful performance of every OBJ
legation resting upon him. indeed
his work and worth in the community
was most commendable.

Up to the moment Of going to press
the situation regarding the resignation

of the board, Porter Ferguson of

Early this afternoon Judge Banta,
acc ompanied by Director Brockman,
presented to the Board Of Supervisors
the designations Of Directors Hamil-

lished an exhaustive work on the ru-
raj and village schools of Denmark.

ican Rural School,"

Of the Arizona normal schools short
], before coming here and upon leav-
ing the Valley he makes the trip to

$500 teachers of the state.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-10-03

Many rumors were afloat to the eff
feet that Director Mcbride would and
would not concur in this arrangement
we're rife, but could not be traced to
their original source.
The question arose before the board
Of supervisors as to whether they
could legally accept the designations
Of old members of the irrigation board
with the proviso string to them and
after listening to District Attorney
Nichols opinion as to their best course
of action they still felt somewhat
squeamish about taking the bull by
the horns and proceeding to accept the
ct. .uivocal designations.
It was said on good authority, how
ever, that the men named in the above
list would more than likely receive
the appointments before the board of
supervisors finishes today's session.
