CopenhaverReunion.jpg494 viewsThis picture was labeled Copenhaver Reunion. I don’t know all the people here or what year this was taken. I have been able to identify my great great grandparents, Harvey King and Amanda Copenhaver. Amanda Copenhaver died in 1938, and she was ill for a number of years before that, so I believe this picture is from the 1910’s or 1920’s. Courtesy of Amy Bazar abazar2151@charter.net
