Book: History of Central Oregon Page 1004 George W. Copeland, an industrious farmer and stockman of Klamath County, resides some two miles east of Lorella. His father, William H. Copeland, was born in Ohio in 1852 and came west about 35 years ago. Settlement was made near Portland, Ore., and in 1885 he came to Klamath County and located in Langell Valley. He took up general farming and stock raising and now owns an estate of some 400 acres, which is well improved with all necessary buildings, machinery and so forth. In addition to this fine estate, he also has a nice band of cattle. The mother of our subject, Mary L. (Nesmer) Copeland, was born in Arkansas. Her parents had crossed the plains in early days. The other child of the family besides our subject is Mrs. Martha M. Abbaloose of this county. George W. was born on August 17, 1871, in Columbia County, Ore., and came to this county with his parents in 1885. His education was received in various places where he lived during his boyhood days and as soon as he became of age he began farming for himself and took up a homestead where he now resides. He has added a quarter section more and improved the place with good residence, barns, orchard and so forth. The estate is cropped almost entirely to hay for his cattle, of which he owns a goodly number. On June 17, 1902, Mr. Copeland married Miss Bessie McClung, who was born in California, the daughter of Carter and Mary McClung. Two children are the fruit of this union, Floyd L. and Flossie Marie. Mr. Copeland has the distinction of having started for himself in this county with no means and gained his entire property by the fruit of his own industry and sagacity. He is a modest, unassuming man and one of the solid, substantial citizens of our county. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evening Herald April 17, 1939 Jesse Raymond Copeland Jr., the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse R.
