Description
Photograph of Ruth M. (Copp) Daily, seated, with her oldest daughter, Virginia, posed beside her. Virginia's arm is around her mother's neck.
Ruth was one of many children born to Albert Alonza (1864-1922) and Clara Virginia (Feller) (1885-1952) Copp. She grew up on a farm in the Saumsville area, but her father died when she was a toddler. Her older brothers and widowed mother continued to farm.
Ruth married Robert Stevenson Daily (1917-2000) in the summer of 1940. At the time, he was working for the C.C.C. as a foundry engineer (core maker) at Camp Roosevelt near Edinburg. He was born in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, to Robert James and Elizabeth (McHugh) Daily.
After their wedding, Robert registered for the WWII draft in October 1940 where he was described as being 5’6” tall and 136 pounds with a scar over his right eye. Four years later, he enlisted in the Army and served as a Sergeant.
By 1950, the couple had two young children, Virginia, 8 years old and born in Pennsylvania (who is pictured in this photograph), and Roberta, 2 years old and born in Maryland. The family lived in Colesville, Maryland, where Robert operated a bull dozer at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory.
Ruth and her husband spent their later years together in Maurertown. They are buried in Saumsville.
Virginia Marie Daily married Berlin Leonard Cooper in Arlington, Virginia, just after Christmas, in 1963. At that time, she worked as a telephone operator with C& P. Her new husband was an inspector for the Virginia Department of Highways. He was born in Winchester, the son of John Calvin and Lelia Virginia (Brill) Cooper, and lived in Strasburg.
After they married, the couple lived in Toms Brook for many years.
The name, "Robt. Daily", is written on the glass plate.
