| 6376 | from An illustrated history of north Idaho : embracing Nez Perces, Idaho, Latah, Kootenai and Shoshone counties, state of Idaho, 1903 ARTHUR C. COGSWELL. The natural ability and real worth of the gentleman whose name is at the head of this article, brought to the front by a determined will and fitted for the prosecution of a large business by a careful and thorough training, have fitted him to hold the leading position in Burke, where he is operating at this time. He is postmaster of that town and manager of the Tiger Mercantile Company's establishment in connection. He is one of the rising men of the district and is popular and highly respected. Arthur C. Cogswell was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on April 11, 1868, the son of William H. and Mary (Woodill) Cogswell, natives of Nova Scotia. The family is an old English and prominent line and some of them were the Pilgrims in the Mayflower while others came and founded Halifax. Our subject descended from the Halifax line. The father died in Rockford, Washington, in 1897. The mother came from an old English family and died in Rockford in 1894. Our subject was reared and educated in Halifax and graduated from the high school there when thirteen, having also carried the business college course in the evenings. When he was seventeen, the family came to Oregon and four years later removed to Rockford, Washington, where our subject was partner with his father in general merchandising. In 1895 Mr. Cogswell came to Murray and took charge of the late M. Prager's business and continued with the company for one year. After the death of that gentleman our subject came to Burke and took charge of the Tiger Mercantile establishment and has demonstrated his ability and efficiency here. He has one brother, Byron F., and one sister, Mrs. Rose, whose husband is manager of a steamboat company and a prominent merchant in Dawson, where they dwell. It is of note that the well known philanthropist, Cogswell, now deceased, of San Francisco, is a second cousin of our subject's father. In April, 1897, at Rockford, Washington, Mr. Cogswell married Miss Anna, daughter of Alfred M. and Regina Rud, natives of Norway, now residing in Rockford. Mrs. Cogswell was born in Elgin, Illinois. Mr. Cogswell is a member of the K. P., being past C. C., of the Elks and in political matters is a Republican and active. He has been delegate to the state convention and was secretary of the fifth senatorial district in Washington several years. He is now a member of the county central committee. | Cogswell, Arthur Charles (I6635)

| 6378 | From An Illustrated History of Northern Idaho, Embracing Nez Perce, Idaho, Latah, Kootenai and Shoshone Counties, Western Historical Publishing Company, 1903 WILLIAM H SKINNER (see his father, Henry Skinner, for beginning of this sketch) On April 13, 1873, our subject married Miss Elizabeth A. Laird, who died in July, 1886, leaving five children, Ansel O, at Rathdrum, Idaho; Agnes A., now Mrs. C. L. Wright, at New Hampton, Iowa; Charles H, Guy E., and Mary E., all in Lewiston. On February 29, 1888, Mr. Skinner married Miss Georgia A., daughter of George and Catherine Laird, and a cousin of his former wife. Mrs. Skinner was born in Bradford, Iowa, in March, i860, and has two brothers, J. G. Laird and J. J. Laird, and E. G. Laird, Mrs. W. R. Longhorn, and Mrs. E. G. Sage, half sisters. To Mr. and Mrs. Skinner have been born the following named children, Gladys I., deceased, Catherine, Ruth A., Rae G., Grant, Helen, and Georgia, all at home. Mr. Skinner was educated in Nova Scotia at Acadia College and at Bradford Academy, in Iowa. He came with his parents to Iowa in 1869. He had taught four years before his advent to Iowa and there for two years he was one of the thorough educators. In 1873 he took a homestead in South Dakota, Brookings County, moving there in 1875. He farmed for a few years and in 1878 he opened a real estate and loan office in Brookings. There he continued until 1900, when he sold and came to Lewiston, where he engaged in contracting, paving the main street in Lewiston. He then went into real estate with Hon. Eben Mounce, the firm was known as Skinner & Mounce. In 1901, Mr. Skinner was elected to the office of mayor of Lewiston, and 1902 reelected without opposition and he is serving in that capacity at the present writing. It speaks highly of his ability and integrity that he was so soon called by the people to this responsible office. While in Brookings he was postmaster fromi89i to 1895, was elected to the office of district clerk and served the County for five years, was secretary of the board of regents of the State Agricultural College and the United States Experiment Station there and was chairman of the board of County commissioners for three years. In all this long public career in important offices it must be said of Mr. Skinner that he has with great faithfulness, and excellent efficiency conserved the interests of all, and in every case the office sought the man and not the man the office. In his position of chief executive of Lewiston he has wrought many beneficial changes and his work is appreciated by a discriminating people. He is a member of the Masons, blue lodge, Royal Ar.ch Chapter, and Knights Templar, also of the A. O. U. W., the M. W. A., and the K. of P. He and his family are allied with the Baptist Church and are staunch supporters of the faith. Mr. Skinner is one of the able men of our County, and has wrought with marked wisdom and executive force for its interests; is held in high esteem by all, being a man of enterprise and progressive ideas and dominated by keen perception and practical judgment and sound principles in all of his ways. In addition to his other arduous and many labors, he has found time to study law and is admitted to the state courts. | Skinner, William Henry (I7007)

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. | Coplin, Albert Dodge (I9454)

After working as a journeyman in Toledo, Ohio, for a year, he returned to Randolph, where he engaged in business for himself, first alone and later becoming associated with G. F. Thayer.

For a short time he was employed at his trade in North Easton, Mass.

| 6391 | from Biography of Edmund Pearson Dole (wikipedia) Edmund Pearson Dole was born February 28, 1850 in Skowhegan, Maine. His father was classical language teacher Isiah Dole (1819?1892), and his mother was Elizabeth Todd Pearson (died 1851). Dole graduated from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut in 1874. He married Gertrude Ellen Davenport in 1878. He studied law under Charles Robinson, Jr., graduated from law school at Boston University, and was admitted to the bar at Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He practiced as a law partner of Farnum Fish Lane in Keene, New Hampshire. He served as Cheshire County Solicitor in 1880 and 1881, similar to a modern District Attorney. He wrote a book trying to explain the law profession to the public in 1887. He then moved to Seattle in 1890. In 1891 he was offered the position of dean of a new law school in Spokane. His cousin Sanford Ballard Dole had become president of the Republic of Hawaii and wrote to him for help. By June 1895 he was practicing law in Honolulu, and acting as assistant to Henry Ernest Cooper as Attorney General of Hawaii. Dole published a novel The Stand-By in 1897 with a hero who promoted Prohibition but was in love with the daughter of a brewer. It received praise from the Honolulu press: Its woof of romance richly colored with incident and episode is struck into a warp of informing fact relative to one of the leading questions of the age. The New York Times, however, saw a more political message: ...as Mr Edmund P. Dole would have it, or as it seems to be written within the lines, the Republicans are the only lawabiding people on God's earth, the only virtuous, self-respecting souls, and the Democrats?quite the opposite. There is a tinge of fanaticism, then, in Mr. Dole's Romance. Dole replaced Cooper as attorney general on June 14, 1900. He also published his second novel Hiwa: a tale of ancient Hawaii in 1900. Dole married Eleanor Gallagher, daughter of Bernard Gallagher of San Francisco, on September 5, 1901, and they divorced in 1902. His ex-wife then became a singer in New York City. He resigned as attorney general on February 1, 1903, to argue a case in the U.S. Supreme Court at the request of Philander C. Knox who was US Attorney General. Federal District Court Judge Morris M. Estee had overturned the conviction of Osaki Mankichi because he was never indicted by a grand jury, and was convicted by a simple majority of a jury instead of unanimously. Estee ruled the court proceeding denied the accused rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. The case had the implication of invalidating many legal procedures during the time between July 1898 when the Newlands Resolution annexed Hawaii by the United States, and April 1900 when the Hawaiian Organic Act established a territorial government. The Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 that the continued operation of the Republic of Hawii legal system was valid during the transition period. Dole lived in Washington, DC for two years, then moved back to Seattle and practiced law again there. He died December 31, 1928 in Keene. | Dole, Edmund Pearson (I2254)
