Ionia Sentinel - Thursday, Jan. 20, 1881

                                DIED
COOPER- In this city, on Monday afternoon, John Cooper, in his 82nd year. 
Funeral from his late residence, in the fourth ward, this Thursday morning, at 
10:30 o'clock. 

John Cooper was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1799. When two years of age 
his father's family removed to Oxford county, Maine, where he remained until 
1867, when he came to this place, to which a number of his children had 
preceded him. He has always been noted for his robust health, and at the last 
election, went to the polls on foot and voted. He was for fifty years an 
exemplary member of the Baptist church and died full of faith that it would be 
well with him. He was the father of eleven children, nine of whom survive him: 
George S., W.K. and J.C. Cooper, Mrs. G. K. Jackson and Mrs. I.H. Thayer, of 
this city; Mrs. Pierce, Philadelphia, Mrs. Belding of Cincinnati, Mrs. Ripley 
of Portland, Maine, and Mrs. Daniels of Boston. The immediate cause of his 
death was a severe cold which he contracted by exposure in the open air during 
the recent severe weather.
