Body of Daughter of Late K. G. Cooper, to Be Brought Here For Burial. Mrs. Anna May Cooper Mather, daughter of the late K. G. Cooper, who was one of the proprietors of the Denver Republican, and sister of Mrs. Frank S. Woodbury and Dr. Claude E. Cooper of this city, died at the Hotel Or- mande in Kansas City early yesterday. She came to Denver with her parents in childhood and lived here until her marriage to Dr. Harry Feld Mather of Kansas City in 1897. She was educated in the Denver schools and afterward at Mount St. Vincent, New York City, and Georgetown, D. C. She was a woman of exceptionally strong character. Her tastes were lit- erary and musical. She was an elocutionist of ability and will be remem- bered here for her excellent work in amateur theatricals. Her histrionic talent was so remarkable that, urged by her friends, she decided to devote her life to the stage, and to that end she studied at the New York Empire Theater Dramatic School, but gave up her career to become the wife of Dr. Mather. Later she resumed her study of music. Many Denver friends remember her as a charming, intellectual and lovable young woman. Dr. Mather and Dr. Cooper are now en route to Denver with the body. The funeral arrangements will not be announced until after the arrival of Mrs. K. G. Cooper from California. Burial will be in the family lot at Riverside. =================================================== Contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archive Project (http://www.usgenweb.org) and by the COGenWeb Archive Project USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organization or persons.
