Bio
Julius E. Goplin of the town of Sumner, one of the pioneer residents of Trempealeau County, died at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Larson in Duluth, Minnesota, September 26, aged 81 years 4 months and 4 days. Funeral services were held September 29 in that city and the following day at the Hale Lutheran church in North Branch, the Rev. N.E. Halvorsen officiating, and burial was in the family lot in the church cemetery. Mr. Goplin was born in Lillehammer, Norway, May 22, 1855, son of Eric and Elie Goplin. He, with his parents, brothers and sisters came to America in 1867, locating near Janesville, this state, where they stayed two years before coming to Trempealeau County. Julius was confirmed in the Lutheran faith and attended public school. While still a young man, he left home to support himself at whatever kind of work he could find in this then pioneer community. In 1878 Mr. Goplin married Sina Olson. Seven children were born to them, of whom five survive his death. 1. A boy, Olaf, died in infancy and 2. Emma passed away 31 years ago. Mrs. Goplin died in 1919. Giving up farming many years ago, Mr. Goplin in the meantime had spent 17 winters in Duluth with the Arthur Larson, mentioned above, but he always returned to his hometown, Sumner, for the summers, residing with his son, Edwin and family, who operate the home place. During the three years before his death he had had failing health and because of that, he was not able to make the usual trip back to Wisconsin last spring. He had mad many friends in Duluth during his long residence there. Deceased is survived by four daughters, 3. Sophia, Mrs. Arthur L. Larson and 4. Elsie/Eliza Mrs. Charles S. Christiansen both of Duluth; 5. Mrs. Joseph (Julia) Fischer of Waseca, Minnesota; and 6. Mrs. Hugh (Inga) Russell of Altoona; one son, 7. Edwin Goplin of Sumner, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He was a kind and loving father who will be greatly missed by his children. THE WHITEHALL TIMES - OCTOBER 8, 1936
