Kopp, Charles Leroy -
Charles Leroy Kopp was born September 9th, 1879, in Mahaska Co., Iowa, died, October 17th, 1918, at his home in Loveland, Colorado, aged 39 years, 1 month and 8 days. He moved to Ringgold County with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Kopp, when but a small boy. He resided there until January 27, 1902, at which time he was married to Anna Catherine Fett. To this union were born five children;—Edna, Leroy, Marie, Charles and Anna Belle, all of whom are living except Leroy, who passed away with typhoid fever several years ago. His wife having died October 16, 1918, he leaves four lonely children, besides his father, three sisters and two brothers as follows—Floss Kopp of near Conway, Mrs. Adam Keller, Mrs. Roy Williamson, Mrs. Ralph Leonard and Fred Kopp, all of whom reside near Clearfield. His mother passed away ten years ago. He also leaves a number of near relatives and a host of friends both in this vicinity and around Loveland, where he had resided for several years, having moved there on account of poor health, having had asthma all his life, but had seemingly been as well as common, when he was taken ill with Spanish influenza and pneumonia, and the sudden death of his wife and illness of his four children were more than he was able to bear.

He was converted and joined the Methodist church at Grant Center at the age of 15, and has ever since lived a consistent Christian life, his last moments being spent in prayer for his lonely children. The body was brought back to Clearfield Monday, October 21st, and interment made in the Clearfield Cemetery.
