Death Oral History	BEF JAN 1826 1889	History of Wright County MO 1889 James H B Cope, a farmer of Elk Creek Township, Wright Co., Mo., was born in Middle Tennessee in 1831 being the son of Stephan and Comfort (Bolin) Cope. The paternal grandfather (sic: James Cope) was born in one of the Carolinas, was a farmer and a member of the Baptist Church. He was a pioneer settler of Warren County, Tenn., was the father of four children and died in Tennessee at the age of 98 years. Stephen Cope was born in Warren County, Tennessee in 1803, and was a farmer by occupation. He was always a Democrat in his political views and was constable in Warren County for six years. He was also justice of the peace for twelve years, and died in 1887. His wife, Comfort Cope was a native of Warren County. Tenn. and is still living. They were the parents of sixteen children, James H.B. Cope being the seventh in order of birth. James grew to manhood in Warren and Grundy Counties in the state of Tennessee where he received a fair education in the common schools. At the age of twenty-six he married Miss Minerva J. Roberts a native of Tennessee, born in 1835 and died in 1863. They became the parents of four children: William, who died at the age of two years: Sarah A. died at the age of twenty-three years, was married and left one child; James T. and Elizabeth , who died at the age of one year. In 1865 Mr. Cope married Mrs. (Nichols) Young and the fruits of this union was seven children: Fannie E., Alonzo, James Newton, Cinda, Flora, John, and Harvey. Mrs. Cope was the mother of two children from her former marriage: A. L. and Sarah J.. James Cope immigrated to Missouri in 1857, locating in Wright County, and has made his home here ever since, with the exception of a short time during the war when he found refuge in Phelps County. He never took up arms against the Union, but his sympathies were with the South. He is a Democrat in politics and is a member of the Wheel. The maternal grandfather, Lewis Bolin lived in Warren County, Tennessee. He was a hero of the War of 1812 and the first man to enter the British fort at the battle of New Orleans. He had fourteen holes shot through his coat as he went in. He witnessed the death of Peckenham and the general withdrawal of the British from American soil. He afterward served all through the Texas war, and when it closed he wrote his family and said:Ó Come to Texas!" for he had enough land for all his children. He was never heard from afterward. He was a great traveler and had been all over the union."
