Toccoa Record, Thurs. Jan. 27, 1938
After a brief illness with pneumonia, MISS BUENA COOPER passed away at the 
beautiful paternal home in Avalon, GA on January 5th, 1938.  The following 
day, despite the forbidding weather, a large concourse of loved ones and 
friends gathered at the home for the final services at 3:30 p.m. conducted by 
her pastor, Rev. J. M. Perryman, and Dr. Elam F. Dempsey.  A spirit of 
intimate affection from the close family-friends assembled formed a comforting 
atmosphere in which the songs, “In the Garden” and “Beautiful Isle of 
somewhere” came like balm upon the sorrowing hearts of all.  The ministers’ 
talks were in harmony with this consoling music, which was rendered by 
Mesdames Lipscomb, Meaders, and Blackmon, vocalists, and Miss Jewell Hayes, 
pianist.
	Miss Buena Cooper, the daughter of rev. W. A. Cooper and his wife, the 
former Miss Sara Elizabeth Payne, was born in Toccoa, GA, slightly above a 
half century ago, and during the past two-score years lived serenely in the 
home at Avalon, delighting in its outdoor charms especially, such as the 
shrubbery, vines flowers, the lawn, the stately trees, the tennis court, and 
the like.  A spirit of both religion and cultured refinement fills her home, 
sanctified by memories and souvenirs of her honored parents.  Her father’s 
work as a minister is recalled throughout this section, he being founder of 
Confidence church and organizer of Sunshine Church.  It was in Confidence 
church that she held her membership and after the memorial services in the 
home to its churchyard her body was borne to its last resting place.  Precious 
is the memory of this daughter of the Christian home and church, both founded 
by her honored father.
	Surviving are her sisters, Misses Lula and Margaret; her brother, Mr. 
Paul Cooper; and the following nieces and nephews – Miss Ruth McBath, Messrs. 
Ralph, Cecil, and Bartley McBath and George Cooper Winsor.
