• Notes

  from "Oakland Tribune", 23 Mar 1903 (newspapers.com) COPLIN - In Berkeley, March 23, 1908, A. Dodge Coplin, son of the late Alanson and Ruth Coplin, and brother of Ethel A. Coplin, a native of Los Angeles, Cal., aged 38 years and 5 months. from Architect and Engineers of California, Volume 12" (google books) A. Dodge Coplin, a well-known Oakland and San Francisco architect, met a tragic death on March 22, near Claremont Park, Berkeley. Miss Annette Deaner and Architect Coplin were returning from a trip to Contra Costa county in Mr. Coplin’s automobile. According to the young woman's story, Coplin had started to get out of the machine, which he had stopped, when she heard a report and he fell to the ground. At first Miss Deaner thought that the report was from the muffler of the auto engine. When she realized that something more serious had occurred she alighted from the car to find Coplin bleeding from a wound in the head. Apparently Coplin’s pistol, which he had put in his overcoat pocket, had fallen out as he stepped from the machine. He was senseless and Miss Deaner ran for help to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Turton, several blocks away. There a message was sent to Roosevelt hospital at Berkeley, and Dr. Arthur and McIntosh responded. Coplin was removed to the hospital where he died. Since his divorce from Mrs. Sarah Luella Coplin, a music teacher, October 14th, 1901, Coplin has been a man about town. Recently he had planned to go east and closed his offices in the Bacon block. Coplin designed a number of picturesque houses in the Piedmont section of Oakland.
