To Mr. and Mrs. Lister were born two sons. The elder, Charles William, was born on July 12, 1881, and died in Williams township on April 8, 1910. He was married on the 22d of August, 1906, to Miss Elizabeth, who was born on July 6, 1862, who was born in Canada on the i2th of February, 1883, and to them was born one daughter, Ruth Ella Marie, whose natal day was May 21, 1907. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Minnie Lister and her daughter have resided with our subject and wife. A second son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Lister on September 23, 1884, but he died at the age of nine days.
She is a daughter of A. B. and Rachel (Meeker) Coppher, the father born in the province of Lorraine, France, his natal day being the 2Oth of May, 1829, and the mother born in Homer, Illinois, on the 24th of November, 1835. Mrs. Lister accompanied her parents on their removal to Alden, Hardin county, this state, in 1865, and completed her education in the public schools of that place. There the mother passed away on October 31, 1869
