Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   G. W. Cooper, farmer, Covington, was born in Monmouth county, New Jersey, May
15, 1817. During his early boyhood his parents moved to Warren county, Ohio. In
1845 he left his home in Ohio and came to Fountain county, and settled in Troy
township. He began at the bottom round of the ladder, and by his own energy,
industry and economy he now has 283 acres of as fine land as Fountain county
affords. It is well stocked and watered, and has been improved wholly by
himself. In 1842 Mr. Cooper was married to Miss Mirah Hall, who is a native of
Butler county, Ohio. Her father, Jno. Hall, was a soldier in the war of 1812.
They have reared a family of three children: Mary E., now the wife of H. H.
Hendrckson; Martha J., wife of E. Johnson; Eliza, wife of D. Remster and Rachel
(deceased).
