William R. Swoope age 75 of Shiloh
died at Memorial hospital Saturday
funeral at Shiloh church
interment in Shiloh cemetery
(obit facts in Clearfield Progress 31 Jan 1938)

I am looking for confirmation of his middle name. He changed the spelling of his last name to SWOOPE when he moved to Clearfield county.

Married twice
(1) Welthea A Zimmerman, daughter of Jacob and Mary Foor, and direct descendant of a Revolutionary War Veteran.
Their known children are:
Mary Blanch Swope (1883-1958) married Daniel Vincent Foor
Elmer Roy Swoope (1886-1964) married Mary Anna Rabenstein
Eva J Swope (1888–1953) married (1) Paul Stevens and moved to Cleveland, Ohio. (2) Voyle Lamoyne "Bish" Graham
Estella Gertrude "Stella" Swope (1890–1971) Martin Luther Wise, Sr.
Emery Richard Swoope (1896-1955) married Alma Rodeith Maines
Bessie Swope (1899– ?)married ? Woodling
William Russell Swope (1901–1978) married Virginia Irene Hughney
Claire Swope (1908– ?)

(2) Ruth Cowher, daughter of James Cowher and Nellie Herdman. She was age 20 and he was 52. William moved to Clearfield county and bought a farm near Ruth's family. Most of this branch of the family changed the spelling of their last name to Swoope. Probably because that was the way some famous Clearfield county Swopes spelled their names.
Their known children are:
Bruce W Swope (1915-1981) married Isabel Brown
Berniece Swope (1926-2009) married David L. Turner
Burtrice Marion "Bert" Swope (1929-1961) married Sarah Stokes
