The Springs Valley Herald (March 15, 1923) reported "Miss Leora Cope, daughter of Willy and Lucinda Cope, was born near Ellsworth, Indiana, December 29, 1884, died at her home near French Lick, Indiana, February 28, 1923, aged 38 years, 1 month and 28 days. Leora leaves to mourn her departure her mother, step-father, thee brothers, Amos Cope, C.C. Cope of Corning, Ark., and Harrison Mills, one sister, Mrs. John T. Case. She also leaves five step-sisters, Jannie Ruark, Greenville, Mo., Mrs. Joe Butler, Kankee, Ill., Mary Batman, Marengo, Ind., Nancy Summers, Louisville, Ky., Mrs. John Stone, French Lick, two step-brothers Frank Mills of French Lick and Thomas Mills of Knox Co., Ind. Her father and one sister, Luella Cope, having preceded her in death. She also leaves many relatives and a host of friends, who were near and dear to her. Leora was a loving, dutiful daughter, a kind and affectionate sister and was lived by all who knew her. For the last seventeen years she has been a faithful and successful teacher in the public schools of Orange County, ever striving to instill into the minds of her pupils, the higher and better things of life. About twelve years ago during a revival meeting at the Christian Church at French Lick, under the pastorate of the Rev. H. H. Saunders, Leora went forward and made the good confession and was buried with her Lord in Christian baptism arising to walk in that newness of life. She remained faithful to her church always lending a helping hand. Truly it can be said of her - She has fought the good fight, she has finished the course, she has kept the faith, henceforth there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous judge shall give her in that day and not to her only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."
