Mrs. Anna Cuppett
Mrs. Anna Cuppett, of New Paris, died at her home, of catarrhal trouble of the stomach, on the morning of March 9, in the presence of all her children but Harry D., who preceded her in death on October 10, 1890, at the age of sixty-six years, one month and twenty-five days.
She was left a widow on April 2, 1900, by the death of her husband, Willam W. Cuppett. She was the mother of five sons and one daughter - John A., Frank W., Samuel B., and Mollie L., of New Paris, and Charles C., of Washington D.C.
She was the youngest of three sons and three daughters of Mr. and Mrs. William Border. George Border, of Spring Hope and Mrs. Margaret Onstead, of Johnstown, are the only surviving members of that family.
She was a granddaughter of John Blackburn, who erected the first grist mill in this vicinity prior to 1800; a great granddaughter of Thomas Blackburn, who erected a grist mill at Spring Hope about the year 1770; a great great granddaughter of John Blackburn, who emigrated to America about 1735 and settled in Adams County, PA.
We glean the following from history: Moses Harlan, a farmer and Friend, born December 20, 1683, in Armaugh County, Ireland, came to America with his parents in 1687 and settled in New Castle County (now Delaware). The family afterward removed to Chester County, PA. In 1712 he married Margaret Ray, a native of Lurgan County, Ireland. On October 19, 1745, he obtained a patent for 855 acres of land on the upper fork of Conewago Creek, in Menallin Township, now Adams County, PA., and on July 21, 1747, he conveyed to his son-in-law, John Blackburn, 258 acres of this land.
Moses Harlan and wife were the parents of two daughters - Mary, who married John Cox in 1735, and Rebecca, who married John Blackburn in 1740. Mrs. John Blackburn, whos maiden name was Sarah Dalton, and grandmother of the deceased, was one of the first white twin sisters born in Bedford County in the year 1770.
The subject of this article was a member of the United Brethren church for a period of forty-two years. The services at her funeral were conducted by Rev. J.B. Miller.
Her remains were interred in the Evangelical cemetery between the graves of her husband and son.
The pall-bearers of this mother, who was noted for her kindness to the poor and her interest in the comfort of all those around her, were G.W. Blackburn, Peter A. Miller, R.E. Dull, S.P. Suter, F. Gephart and A.D. Ling. The following young men assisted, Prof. H.T. Wright, W.J. Shoenthal, S.R. Blackburn, J.H. Taylor, Lloyd Davis and S.E. Adams.
