["david winter" <david_winter_uid1214@yahoogroups.com>]

Annie's mother was a BROWN. I posted some data on Annie's brother, Harris
Henry Copp late last year as he m/1 Elsie Lena Reid from Lakelands, who's
mother was also a BROWN.

Annie's other brother, William Boardman Copp and other sister, Eva Maria
Copp both married into my WINTER/S Line.

Sricer C. Hazel's obit. below doesn't mention a wife; separation /
divorce?????
