Mrs. James W. Cooper of Cheyenne died yesterday evening at a local
hospital after months of suffering from cancer.  The body was beautiful in
death when prepared by Grubitz & Son.  Funeral services will be held at
Cheyenne this afternoon.
Mrs. Cooper has lived in this part of the county for some time and had a

(29 Jul 1920, Cheyenne Star, Cheyenne, Roger Mills Co, OK):
We are indeed sorry to chronicle the sad news of the death of Mrs. J. W.
Cooper who died in Elk City Wednesday, July 20, 1920, after an illness
which had been coming on for years and which had been serious for about a
year.
Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church in Cheyenne
Thursday afternoon in the presence of a large number of friends from the
town and country who had gathered to pay their last respects to a friend
and neighbor.  The body was laid to rest in the Cheyenne cemetery.
Mrs. Cooper had lived in this county for many years and had a host of
friends.  She was a woman against whom naught could be said.  The vacancy
left by her cannot be filled but her last days were so filled with
suffering that none could wish her back to her life of suffering.
She leaves her husband and one daughter, Mrs. Leslie Barton, to mourn her
loss.
