His father's death caused a burial controversy. He was 13 when his father died in 1879. The father's death left the children parentless, as his mother had died in 1873. When the father died on August 14, 1879, and wanted to be buried in the same cemetery as his wife, the matter became the subject of a court case, which the family ultimately lost some 9 months after (in 1880) the death of Denis Coppers.
He had one younger sister, Catherine or "Kate", born in 1870.
Married Letitia McGrath in Manhattan on January 18, 1899 and had one son, George.
