                    DISTRESSING DEATH
                    -----------------
              Mrs. LAVINA KEPLINGER COPE, formerly
            of Crestline and Bucyrus, daughter of
            ex-Sheriff KEPLINGER, deceased, and
            wife of J. W. COPE, of Washington, D.C.,
            while en route to visit relatives at
            Bucyrus and other points, accompanied
            by a step-daughter, was prostrated on
            the train and had to be left at Wooster,
            Saturday, where she died on Sunday morn-
            ing of apoplexy.  She is a sister of Mrs.
            M. D. FULTON, of Bucyrus, and Ed. KEPLINGER,
            of Canton, and the aged mother also resides
            at Bucyrus.
              After a consultation between the stricken
            husband and the family it was decided to 
            have the funeral of Mrs. COPE take place 
            at the home of her mother, at 2 p.m., today,
            with the burial in the KEPLINGER family lot
            in Oakwood cemetery, Bucyrus.
              The Forum, 21st, says: The old adage that
            "misfortunes never come singly" was well 
            illstrated Tuesday in the case of J. W. COPE.
            Coming to Bucyrus in response to the announce-
            ment of the sudden death of his wife, he was
            met as he left the train by a message from
            Ft. Wayne stating that his father, ABRAM COPE, 
            died at his home in that city today at 12:40
            p.m.
