MRS. ANNA COPELAND.

Funeral services for. Mrs. Anna
Copeland, who died last week Tues
day, at the age Of 81 years, were held
on Thursday afternoon, January 6, at
the home of her nephew, Mr.. Clyde
Chapelle, 345 Third Avenue, this city,
burial being at Waukan, Wis.,, on Fri
day afternoon.
Mrs. Copeland had been a teacher
in our Wauwatosa public schools for
about fifteen years, the last eight
years of which she taught English in
the High School. The deceased was
known as one Of the best English
teachers in the state, and it was only
very rarely that any of her pupils in
English had to be conditioned in enter
ing the State University at Madison
Following her death, the flag on the
public school grounds was at half
mast, a. silent token of esteem.
Mrs. Copeland was well known in
Wauwatosa, and dearly loved by all
her many friends, who knew her the
very best. She had been in i'll health
for about two years, but in a very re-
cent letter to friend wrote she hoped
to be able to resume her customary
work next September. The end came
peacefully, apparently while in quiet
slumber during the afternoon. Even
though her physical labors are over
her influence will continue, for the I'M
pressions as Christian teacher she
made on the young lives of so many
students during her years of. faithful
teaching can never be known or esti-
mated.
