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.


Judge Joseph Cox
 
  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.
