Source; Gary Copelin typed the following on Nov 2, 2002 from a hand written document written by Amanda Williams, one of Jasper's daughters from his first marriage to Claudie Clay. It is as close as possible, including spelling and grammar to the original text, which was originally written over a number of years on an accounts receivable ledger. - Written by Amanda Williams in the year of 1939 Nov. 16th.

Miss Artie Copeland (c/be Copelin) met with a fatal accident Friday morning, February 9th. She was thrown from her pony, her head striking a post causing a fracture of the skull at the base of the brain. She was taken to Topeka for treatment, but died Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. The remains were sent to Wanette, Oklahoma for interment. She will be greatly missed by her many friends whom she had made by her happy disposition and sweet ways.

If Artie died Sunday, that date was a Feb 11th..which indicates the stone could be wrong / or the obituary is wrong....
