IRA COPENHEFFER CALLED BY DEATH 
End comes peacefully after two years of acute suffering 
Survived by wife and child 
Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow from Union Church 

Last Tuesday at the home in this city occurred the death of Ira Copenheffer, 
after an illness extending over a period of two years with Bright's disease. 
Deceased was born in Pottersville, Michigan in 1869. He was married in 1897 to 
Miss Evaline Berts and the major portion of his married life was spent on a 
farm near Calamus, Iowa, and here was born the only surviving child, Ray, now 
a boy of nine years. One other child died at the age of 11 years and is buried 
in the Lost Nation Cemetery. Just one year ago Mr. Copenheffer abandoned farm 
work on account of failing health and came with his family to reside in Lost 
Nation. His health slowly declined despite the attention of the very best 
medical talent., and at times his suffering was acute, but always borne with 
remarkable patience and fortitude. The end, however, was peaceful and free 
from physical pain. The funeral will occur tomorrow from the Union Church, at 
one o'clock. Rev. H. T. Prell of Anderson, Indiana, will conduct the sevices, 
assisted by Rev. C. W. Cleveland of Elwood. Interment will be in the Lost 
Nation Cemetery.
