Joseph Cope (November 21, 1886 – June 27, 1983) was a resident of Chester County, Pennsylvania whose ancestors can be traced to Wiltshire, England. Family lore records an Oliver and Mary Cope traveling to America with William Penn in 1701. Joseph’s father was Gilbert Cope (1840 – 1928), an accomplished genealogist, and his mother was Anna Garrett Cope (1848 – 1918). He had three siblings: Herman (1880 – 1945), Ellen (1884 -1979) and David, who died in infancy in 1885. Joseph attended Westtown Friends School and enrolled in Haverford College, but left in his Junior year to study agriculture at Penn State College.
On March 30, 1911, Joseph married Ellen Fussell (1879 – 1953; in newspaper reports variously identified as Ellen, Edith, and Rebecca), a resident of Media, Pennsylvania at Friends Meeting House, Middletown Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Joseph and Ellen had three sons: Gilbert, Alfred, and Edwin, who died in 1914 shortly after birth. Joseph and his wife are buried at Oakland Friends Cemetery.
Joseph Cope resided on a 74 acre dairy farm on South Concord Road, Westtown Township, Pennsylvania. where he raised a herd of Guernsey cattle. In the 1920 and 1930 federal censuses, his occupation was listed as farmer; in the 1940 census, he is identified as an assistant postman.
Joseph was active in several agricultural organizations. According to the 1932 – 1933 West Chester, Pennsylvania city directory, he served as Vice President of the National Farm Loan Association of Chester County, Secretary of the Chester County Farm Bureau, and Manager of the Rural Service Agency. The farm bureau was established in 1924 as a cooperative that assisted farmers in the purchase of farm supplies at wholesale prices. The Rural Service Agency was an employment agency, serving both employers and people seeking jobs. Employers registered for $1.00 per year. For $50.00, and as a “specialized scientific service,” the agency would supply character references of prospective employees.
Like his father Gilbert, Joseph was a genealogist. He claimed to have files on 30,000 Cope family members. To honor his father, Joseph established the Gilbert Cope Foundation of Genealogical and Historical Research whose purpose was to extend Gilbert’s genealogical work. The Foundation, under Joseph’s leadership, created and sold a fan-shaped genealogical chart for recording family histories. Its archival records are housed at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
Joseph Cope was a member of the Society of Friends. He was affiliated with the Birmingham Monthly Meeting and the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting.
The papers of Joseph Cope measure 27 linear feet and date from circa 1850 to 1990. Found within the papers are materials relating to Cope’s personal, religious, and professional interests.
Series I relates to Chester County, Pennsylvania and includes material on the history of the county, government agencies, politics, the city of West Chester, Westtown School, and local organizations.
