Thanks, Marcia and Earl lived neighbors to us when I was a little boy and he was in with Adrian. I have often wondered about them over the years. It has been along time but it seemed to me that Marcia looked somewhat like Madge.

     Mr. and Mrs. Bill Copeland were both instantly killed on Oct. 4, 1955 in a three-car accident that occurred about three and one-half miles east of Jct. 99-96.  The Copeland couple was thrown from their car and it appeared they were both run over by one of the cars and Mrs. Copeland was reported to have been dragged on the pavement quite a distance.  Their baby son, William Eugene "Billy", received only bruises.  The other two cars involved in the accident were driven by Leonard VanBuskirk and his sixteen year-old son, Billy.  Bill Copeland was 22 yrs. of age and his wife, Alberta (Cornett) Copeland, was 20 yrs. old.
