Their youngest son, Samuel, was lying in the lap of a man sitting in the back seat of the hack and survived the accident. Robert and the four children are buried in the Samuel Copenhaver Family Cemetery near St. Clair's Bottom, Smyth County, Virginia.

In 1906 Finnie married Robert E. Delp and they had five children. Census records list the children as Sue M., Carrol L., Harris C., Max C., and Gordon H.
