Well.......why didn't you say so? Page 733 of the Biographical Encyclopedia of Dauphin County. "Koppenheffer, Cornelius, merchant, Halifax, Pa., was born August 18, 1846, in Washington township. He is a son of Daniel and Fanny (Bordner) Koppenheffer. Daniel W., the father, was born in Lyken's Valley in 1814, and died in the same place in 1873..... Cornelius received his education in the public schools of his native place. His early life was spent engaged in farm work and later he began to learn the trade of moulding in Berrysburg. After serving an apprenticeship of three years he began business for himself. Later he went to Juniata county, and afterwards to Pittsburgh, where he worked in the foundry for five years. After working in Harrisburg and Berrysburg for a time he came to Halifax and purchased the foundry of John Ropp. He was married, in Lukens Valley, in 1866, to Miss Anna Mary Wert. Their children are: Lottie, wife of Samuel Fisher, Harrisburg; Ernest Foster; Andre Curtin; Ivy Johanna; Lawrence; Sarah Jane; Mary Jane; Fanny; Byron; and Cornelius. In politics Mr. Kippenheffer is a Republican and has served in town council. He is a member of the United Brethren church." Note: The biography lists his wife as "Miss Anna Marwert" which is obviously a typo and should read Miss Anna Mary or Maria Wert. For some reason, he listed himself as a year older in the 1900 census. I think a lot of these people were never exactly sure when they were born and quite often their tombstones reflect the age that they told people they were and perhaps not the age that they truly were. So, your Cornelius is indeed a son of Daniel and Fanny. Sue
