- Frederick H. Copenspire (1868–1908) was a Washington State pioneer, politician, and businessman who lived in South Bend. Copenspire was one of the first Pacific County assessors, and one of the few Democrats elected to this position at a time of Republican popularity. Copenspire also served as mayor of South Bend for several years. His house was added to the list of the landmarks in the city's historic tour. Сopenspire came to Washington State in 1890, settling in Tacoma. He worked as a merchant in the cigar trade for a year, and then moved to South Bend, where he opened his own cigar factory. He ran the business until a fire in 1892 destroyed the factory. Copenspire received insurance for his property, but the economic Depression in the U.S. in 1893 kept him from re-opening. Eventually he restarted his business and became one of the leading businessmen in the field. He benefitted considerably from the Alaskan Gold Rush of 1896–1899, and later erected a new cigar factory in South Bend. His cigars became a permanent product on the market, and were considered more popular than the foreign imports of that time. Copenspire was known as one of the most active businessmen of the city, influencing its commercial growth. In 1966, his cigars were a part of the Pacific County Fair historical exhibition in Menlo. Copenspire worked in the petroleum oil business for several years. Growing up in Titusville during the Pennsylvania oil rush, he had gained a vast knowledge of the business. He represented the American Oil Works company, which competed with the Standard Oil. Over the years, he invested in South Bend real estate, and had valuable pieces of property both as an individual owner and in partnership with others. He and four other investors worked in the Leonard & Myers company, which owned a vast array of property on the city waterfront. (en)
