Hi,
I would like to hear from anyone with a connection to George W Kopf who married Lena
Nicholson at Red Jacket, Houghton, Michigan, USA on 28 January 1893. Lena was born Christy
Nicholson on Isle of Skye, Scotland. On the marriage record George is 34 and Lena is 27.
George’s surname on the marriage record is Hopf but on later census records his name is
Kopf.
In the 1930 census George (Kopf) 70 (was a photographer) and Lena 57 (now called Tena)
were living with their two daughters Sadie Beatrice 34 single (stenographer in a bank) and
Marion V 23 single (stenographer in a broker’s office) at the township of Portage, South
Bend City, St Joseph County, Indiana.
George, Lena (now called Christina) and Sadie Kopf may have all passed away by 1964 as
those names are mentioned on a St Joseph County Obituary Index at the St Joseph County
Public Library at South Bend. Their obituaries were published in a newspaper in 1949
(George), 1954 (Christina) and 1964 (Sadie).
Thank you.
