The Portland Observer, Tuesday, January 3, 1911
Charles Cooley, for 42 years a resident of Portland, died at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. Floyd Todd, in this village last Wednesday morning at 1:00 
o’clock, after being a terrible sufferer from kidney and liver trouble for 
about two weeks.  Mr. Cooley was born in Plymouth, Mich., March 18, 1950, 
which would make him nearly 61 years of age at the time of his death.  He had 
spent all of his life in this state.  He came to Portland at the age of 18 and 
has resided in this village constantly since that time.  

Forty years ago Mr. Cooley was united in marriage to Miss Flora Jenkins, 
daughter of the late Palmer Jenkins, who survives him.  Three children were 
born to this union, a daughter dying in infancy.  The two children who are 
left to mourn his death are Mrs. Floyd Todd and Dee Cooley, both residents of 
this village.

Funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Todd Friday afternoon 
at 2:00 o’clock, conducted by Rev. D. E. Millard, and burial was made in 
Portland cemetery.  

Deceased was well known all over this territory by nearly everyone as a trader 
of horses, and might be likened to David Harem, of play and story book fame.  
He followed that occupation for many years and it was known that he made 
considerable money in many deals.  He was honest and had a large circle of 
friends who deeply regret his death.
