A change was made today in the funeral arrangements for Mrs. Chauncey COPLEN who died at her home near Talma early Wednesday morning. Services will be held from the Talma Christian Church at 2 p.m. Saturday instead of on Friday afternoon. The postponement was caused by the inability to reach Grover COPLEN, a son of the deceased, who was in New York State for the Armour Company. His employers were able to get in touch with him today and he has started for Rochester.
