"The Central Alabamian"  (newspaper), September 2, 1879
Mr. Milton COOPER, who breathed his last on last Tuesday morning, was born in 
Troup County, Georgia, July 26, 1821, and was consequently 58 years of age when 
he died. His father was Major James W. COOPER, who, for many years, resided 
near Camp Hill, in Tallapoosa County, and was a man highly respected for many 
virtues of head and heart. When a mere youth, Mr. Milton COOPER removed to 
Wetumpka and commenced the Drug business with his elder brother, W. B. COOPER, 
and continued in the business until the war, when he formed a co—partnership 
with his brother-in-law, Major Edward S. READY, in the Dry Goods business. 
After the close of the war, Mr. COOPER returned again to the drug business, his 
brother William then being dead, and continued in it up to the time when his 
health forced him to retire from active life altogether. For the past six 
months he had been confined to his room and bed. His nervous system first 
giving away and then came paralysis, destroying whatever of energies he had 
left. We believe we speak the sentiments of this community when we say Mr. 
Milton COOPER was one of the most upright and honorable of men. His manners 
were gentle and unassuming, pleasant and affable, alike to rich and poor, and 
if he had enemies, none knew He was for many years a Mason and a member of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church. A good man has gone, and may the sods lie lightly 
on his grave.
