THE COPPINGER STORY
By Harland Wells
John and Lucy Coppinger
were married September 3,
]91], in eastern Oklahoma,
and for the past 70 years have
lived near Perkins.
John and Lucy have two
children, a son Emery and a
daughter, Mrs. Pete Goforth.
Emery has two daughters,
Brenda Pery and Rosie Young.
Brenda has three cllildren and
Rosie has one. Mr. and Mrs.
Pete Goforth have two sons,
Jimmy and Johnny. Jimmy and
his wife Carol have two children
and Johnny and his wife Shirley
have four children. John and
Lucy Coppinger have ten great
grandchildren to enjoy.
John Coppinger says his hob-
bies are hunting and cutting bee
trees.
"Why, I guess I have cut near
400 to 500 bee trees, 'cause
I've been cutting them ever
since I was a kld,'John said.
"Bee trees are easy to find,"
John said with a warm smile,
"I just watch the places where
bees get water or sometimes I
see the bees working in a sweet-
pea field, all I do is watch the
course the bees take when they
fly away from the waterhole or
the field of sweetpeas and Ifol-
low the bees back to the tree."
"Then I saw the tree down
and get the bees and honey. I
take the bees home and put them
in a bee hive. Sometimes the
bees don't like their new home
and they will leave and swarm
back out of the hive, but I al-
ways go get them and bring them
back."
"Bees don*t sting me much
and even when they do, It doesn't
John and Lucy Coppinger were by the Journal Office to pay
their subscription before the August 3 price increase. For
nearly 70 years, they have taken the Journal. We like to
read the local news because we know nearly everyone.
"Also, we always do our shopping in Perkins,'~ Lucy says.

hurt me none," John said. Once
in awhile though, I find ~t bee
tree with those little black bees,
and they will fight you. It gets
pretty hot when trmy get after
ya." John said.
John furrowed his brow slight-
ly and said,"I reckln' I just
llke to hoar the bees buzz, and
I always have like the fresh
honey 2*
Friends, that's what Ied call
a honey of a deal!
Lucy Coppinger says she
loves to write poetry. "I just
sit down and write as the
thoughts come to me," she said.
"I like the people here in Per-
kins and I've written a Poem
about our town.~*
There is a place callefl Perkins
It is where we all love to go
Where the people are all
friendly.
And everybody knows the people
of Perkins
Are just like a big family there.
They remember you in sorrow,
and remember you in Prayer:
The children of Perkins
Are wonderfull there.
You can buy your groceries
Leave them in the car
And go back the next day
and they will still be there.
We couldn't have said it any
better!
