"Alonzo Herbert Copsey, Representative from the Twenty-sixth District, composed of Custer and Logan counties, was born in Dane county, Wisconsin, August 18, 1852. He settled in Nebraska in 1883, taking up a farm near Westerville, in Custer county, where he still lives and where he has since successfully carried on general farming and stock-raising. He was one of the pioneers in his locality in introducing the culture of alfalfa and fall wheat. He has always taken a prominent part in agricultural matters intended for the advancement of Nebraska in general. He has been active in politics, has always been a Republican and has served as chairman of the County Republican committee. For two terms he was a member of the County Board and the satisfaction given in this office was evidenced at the election of 1902, when he practically received the unanimous support of the citizens of his township, irrespective of party, having a majority of eighty-nine votes over all opponents.
Mr. Copsey was married in 1874 to Miss A. M. Wallin, and has a family consisting of five sons and four daughters. During the session he served as chairman of the Committee on Medical Societies, Sunday Laws and Regulations. His post-office is Westerville, Nebraska."
