Joseph Cooper is a native of Alabama, born in 1845. His father 
was a native of South Carolina, born in 1819, and here he was 
reared, educated and married. His vocation was that or a farmer.
He and wife became the parents of ten children, eight of whom 
are now living. Our subject's grandparents were also natives 
of South Carolina, where they lived and died.
Joseph Cooper removed from Alabama to Texas in 1851, and to
Louisiana in 1858. He has since that time given his full
attention to farming, in which he has done well. He has never
married.
