Samuel COPELAND

Samuel Copeland, a respected farmer of Hennepin county, has been 
closely connected with the pioneers of Wright county, his farm 
being but a short distance from the line between the two counties. 
He was born in Indiana, July 9, 1837, and came to Minnesota in the 
early days. He is now a successful farmer, highly regarded and 
esteemed in every way. In 1884 Mr. Cope-land married Mary M. Cronk, 
daughter of William A. and Caroline (Samsel) Cronk, and widow of 
Sampson T. Bland. They have three children: Guy, John and Hazel. 
Guy lives in Franklin township. He married Mary Gonsier and they 
have five children: Clemens, Marie, Dorethea, Joseph and Florentine 
George. John lives at home. Hazel is now the wife of Oscar G. Lobitz 
and they reside on a farm in Carver county.
