Paris Texas 1931 Friendship Quilt Top
#81
In 1900 Thomas Copeland is married to Eva and has 4 children, Charles, Rosie, Nettie and Luther. Luke is shown as Luther in one tree, so Abie/Alcie Coplin could be Rosa's niece.
Connie, where did you find the Coplin marriage?

As far as the fountain, one of my favorite pictures is one of my parents in front of the fountain in 1950, the year they got married. On their 50th anniversary, they took a picture at the same spot, in the same poses. I have them in a dual frame.

My guess is that this was a friendship quilt for Abie/Alcie Coplin/Copeland. A friend tells me that girls would get together and each would learn to make their own quilt have their friends and relatives sign a square or she would even write them in and then embroider them. If they needed more names they would go ahead and duplicate names.
One square says Aunt Rosa, and Rosa Siddle was Lukes sister. Another has just Evelyn and one of her sisters is named Evelyn. Mother could be Ela and Granny Coplin could be Eve Copeland, or Evie as another block was signed. That how she is listed on a tree by Tommies granddaughter. Im waiting to hear back from her. Tommie would be her cousin.
