CHARLES C. COOPER

    With the good judgment and unswerving honor which have characterized his
entire life, Mr. Cooper has conducted his interests with increasing success
since he became a citizen of Winters, and though as much occupied with personal
cares as the average individual, can nevertheless be relied upon to lend his aid
to all worthy public enterprises.

    Mr. Cooper was born May 28, 1860, near Buckeye, Yolo county, where he has
lived throughout his life, and received a good education in the public schools
and Dixon Academy. His parents, Henry and Ann (Peck) Cooper, both natives of St.
Lawrence county, N. Y., immigrated to California via the Isthmus of Panama in
1856, and from San Francisco proceeded directly to Yolo county, concerning which
they had heard many favorable comments as to climate and soil. Their seven
children are as follows: Egbert, deceased; George, who makes his home at
Buckeye; Charles C., our subject; Mary, Mrs. James Grafton, who died in
Woodland; Susan, Mrs. John Baker, who died in Winters; Luella, Mrs. John Wilgus,
who resides in Sacramento; and Emma, Mrs. William Bentley, of Winters.

    An orchardist by occupation, Charles C. Cooper has resided near Winters
since he finished school, when he purchased eleven acres, which he has highly
developed, and all of which, save the site occupied by his comfortable home and
attractive grounds, is devoted to apricots and peaches, from which he secured a
fair crop in 1912, prices, also, being very good.

    Mr. Cooper was united in marriage in Broderick with Miss Mary Nicholson, who
is also a native of California, born in Napa county. Mr. Cooper is a member of
Winters Parlor, N. S. G. W.; Damocles Lodge, K. of P., Winters, and a member of
Mystic Workers of the World. A Democrat, intelligently interested in political
developments, he is ever on the alert to assist in progressive measures
concerning both civic and national life, and as a man of culture and broad,
generous principles has always maintained a deep interest in educational
matters, his excellent judgment during his service as school trustee having
demonstrated his ability and public spirit.
