Updated Kopplin Biographies
Dorothea was a best selling authoress for her book, "Something To Live By". She wrote the book after losing her young daughter, Rosemary, to leukemia. Later, she memorialized her home to honor her daughter and then set up an estate to maintain the home and refurbish a portion of it to serve as dorm rooms to house female college students who are pursuing careers in nursing, teaching, and business administration.
Rosemary's father was Edwin Herman Kopplin (1896 - 1971) and her mother was Dorothea Simons (1898 - 1970). She had one (older) brother, Edwin Orlando Kopplin (1924 - 1998).
In the 1930 federal census, the entire family lived in Litchfield MN (the town in which Rosemary was buried). Both Mom and Dad said that they had been born in Minnesota. Besides Mom, Dad, Rosemary and an older brother Edwin, Arlene Silverberg, then age 19, all lived together in the household. Her father Edwin was the proprietor of an "oil and automobile" company.
Rosemary's mother, on bed rest during pregnancy, began collecting her favorite sayings that she could pass on to her children. She was quoted as saying "The task was to bridge the gap in education not filled in by church or schools. I wanted to leave a chart or blueprint for guiding and teaching such a way of life to my son and daughter." Those favorite sayings became the best selling book "Something To Live By” published in 1945.
Rosemary was not expected to live through childbirth. Unfortunately, she passed away from leukemia just weeks before her sixth birthday. Read more of the story Rosemary Louise Kopplin: Personal Life
