W.
C. COPE was born in Middleton,
Columbiana county, Ohio, March 21, 1850. He
received his earlier education in the district schools.
At the age of sixteen years he entered the High School
at Lisbon, Ohio, where he spent two years.
Afterward he attended Alliance college, for the next
three years, and completed his collegiate course in the
following year and a half at Hiram college, from which
he was graduated in 1872 and received the degree of B.
A. After leaving college, he accepted the position
of principal of the High School at Burton, Ohio, serving
from 1872 to 1873. He was later elected as
superintendent of the schools of Columbiana, Ohio, where
he remained until 1876. Leaving Columbiana, he
became superintendent of the Woodsfield, Ohio, schools
for one year. In 1877, he served as acting
professor of mathematics in Heidelberg college, at
Tiffin, Ohio, and the next year was recalled to
Woodsfield as superintendent of the schools. In
1880, eh was elected as superintendent of the schools of
Brooklyn, Ohio, which has now been made the Forty-second
ward of Cleveland. He served in this locality for
five years, when he received the call to Hamilton as
principal of our High School is largely due to his
perseverance and work.
On July 24, 1878, he was married to Miss Rose Tilden,
of Welshfield, Ohio, and two children, DeWitt Tilden
and Ella May have been born to them.
In 1881, he received a High School life certificate,
authorizing him to teach in any High School in this
state.
Since he has come to Hamilton he has taken a
non-resident post-graduate course at the University of
Wooster. He was graduated from this university in
1890, in the course in political science, receiving the
degree of D. P.
Prof. Cope is a member of the Masonic order and
holds the office of Senior Deacon in the Blue lodge.
There has never been a man in our schools more popular
among the people and scholars than Prof. Cope.
It is largely through his efforts that the High School
library has grown from a very small beginning to nearly
one thousand volumes of carefully selected books.
Prof. Cope has been a trustee of Lane Free
Library for several years, and has done much toward
broadening its scope and increasing the number of its
volumes.
His views of education are broad and liberal. He
is a man of a genial and kind disposition and an honor
to our schools.

SHARON WICK'S NOTE:
W. C. Cope is not listed in the indexes however I am
thinking that his initials may be incorrect on this
biography. It might BE W. P. Cope. Further
investigation needs to be done. |

JOSEPH CURTIS was born in
Liberty township in 1819, on the farm afterward owned by the
late Hon. Christopher Hughes. He
attended the country schools of his day and received as
liberal an education as was obtainable at that time.
For several years he and his brother, the late Stephen V.
Curtis, were employed at their father's distillery.
Subsequently he opened a general merchandise store in the
township of his nativity. He carried an immense and
diversified stock and sold largely to the surrounding
country. His ample means and well known business
capacity made success sure in his new venture. In
1846, he came to Rossville and opened a large dry goods
store on Main street. Later he sold out to N. G.
Curtis. In 1850, he and Jacob Shaffer
organized a private bank in the room now occupied by
Charles Diefenbach, as a jewelry store, on High
street, opposite the court house. Russel
Potter, of Memphis, Tenn. , was admitted to the firm in
1857. Fine, commodious quarters were fitted up for the
new banking firm of Shaffer, Curtis &
Potter in the Beckett building. Success
crowned their efforts until the national banking system
superceded the private banks. Joseph Curtis
was Postmaster from May 29, 1849, to April 14, 1853.
He died September 27, 1885.
