William was the only child of Edward Raymond and Marie CHAPIN COPENHARVE. He is the grandfather of my COPENHARVE nephews and nieces.

I visited the Catholic Cemetery office to find the location of William E. COPENHARVE's gravesite at St. Mary Magdalene Cemetery. The woman who looked up the information also found a Baby William COPENHARVE buried in another section of St. Mary Magdalene Cemetery. Baby William COPENHARVE died 28 Feb 1951. I was unable to locate a stone for him.

Eugene was a son of Maurice and Susie MILAN COPENHARVE. Eugene's mother Susie died 27 Mar 1952. Since Eugene was listed as a surviving son in Susie's obituary, his death would have occurred later in 1952.
