I TRAVELED TO MOUNT UNION HUNTINGDON CO PA WITHTHEM TO GET THE ONLY LIVING PERSON WHO WAS THERE WHEN HE WAS BORN, TO SIGN A FORM ON HER DEATH BED THAT HE WAS, WHO HE SAID HE WAS. BECAUSE THE RECORDS OF HIS BIRTH HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY FIRE AND HE NEEDED THE FORM TO RECIEVE SOCIAL SECURITY. HE AND GRANDMA BUILT THEIR HOUSE NEXT TO HIS FATHER'S WHERE HE HAD MOVEDAFTER THE DEATH OF JEREMIAH'S MOTHER "ANNIE" HARRIET ANN RAMSEY COPENHAVER ANDHIS SISTER "OLY" VIOLA COPENHAVER AND POSSIBLY AN UNCLE BRYSON, OF TYPHOID FEVER LATE NOV 1891 AND INTO EARLY JAN/ FEB 1892.
