Henry "Hal" Harrison Copp born 1887 in Nebraska. He married Hazel Mason. They lived together in Brewster, Blaine, Co., NE. According to the 1910 census he carried mail. Hazel died in Lumby, British Columbia, Canada
There's a legend told in Blaine County Nebraska where the family moved to during the summer of 1884. When Alva Delancy was just a young boy.
It is told that when Henry Harrison came with his family to claim a parcel of public domain. Blaine County is one of the sandhill region group that was known as Indian hunting ground when the first white man explored it's river valleys according to Thurman A. Smith in a passage of Who's Who in Nebraska, 1940. He goes on to tell there were big game in abundance and doubless it was a favorite resort. This is evidenced by Indian bone and stone implements as well as by arrow points and fragmnets of pottery which have been found. Even as late at the present, collectors make numerous and valuable finds on wind eroded fields.
It's told that as Chief Smoke maker lay dying, a score of his braves stood about on the hill overlooking the North loup river, flowing and glowing in a bold southward curve. In an encounter with government surveryors on Spring Creek miles down the North Loup valley he had been wounded. With skill that belied their haste they had constructed a travois from ash poles cut in the canyon. Tenderly had they placed their stricken chief upon the conveyance and taken the up-river trail.
Outwardly indifferent to the burning pain of the bullet-wound through his chest, Chief Smoke Maker endured the agony aggravated by the jolting. Through the long night they had traveled toward where the sun, blood-red, had dropped below the sandhills. Without resting they had urged their tough mustangs on, even after the sun arose in the misty east.
At last they halted. Chief Smoke Maker was failing rapidly. Even as their medicine man began the incantations of his magic formula, death came. In accordance with their burial custom, they cut cotton wood and willow along the river and erected a scaffold on the low hill overlooking the stream. The cief, wrapped in his blanket and buffalo robe and with all his brilliant trappings of beaded buckskin and eagle feathers, was laid to rest on the scaffold. Later they would return an gather the remaining bones to depost in the ossiary of their tribesmen.
Briefly they discussed leaving the large silver medal their chief always wore suspended by a thong about his neck. The Great White Father at Washington had given the medal to his father, aslo a chief, as a special maark of respect and peaceful intention--a treaty the white man never kep for long. Custom prevailed and they did not remove the priceless medal from the lifeless chest of their beloved chieftain.
So on that parcel of public domain that Henry and his family would claim adjoining the hill where the scaffold had been erected, Copp's son, Alvah Delancy, with his exploring tendancies, one day came upon the grinning skull of the Indian chief. Investigation disclosed the burned off posts in the soil, great quantitites of beads and the tarnished medal. He polished the silver on his boot leg until it glittered as, brightly as when cast sixty-seven years before.
This medal was about two inches in diameter and bore on the obverse a replica of the bust of President, James Monroe, trucation HURSTF. Legend: "James Monroe, President of the U.S. A. D. 1817." Reverse: Two hands clasped, on cuff of one three stripes and as many buttons. The other hand (Indian's) with bare wrist. Above where crossed peacepipe and tomahawk; legend: "Peace and Friendship." After more than half a century Mr. Copp retains and treasures the medal. However, he does not vouch for the truth of the tradition of Chief Smoke Maker.
Alva became a rancher in York County. He married Esther Jane Johnston (1871-1955) on December 25, 1900. Children of Alva and Esther were:
