He was a devout and consecrated member of the Bethel church and lived up to its teachings. He believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. At all times, under all circumstances he walked in the well beaten path of righteousness. Besides his wife, he leaves three sons, Messers E. C. and W. T. Coppock of this city and Sam Coppock of this county, also one daughter, Mrs. Tollie Collins of this city, to all of whom the deepest sympathy of the community go out in their hour of sorrow.
