Cooper died Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock, after an illness of about two years, and was buried in Oakwood cemetery Tuesday evening. Mrs. Cooper was born in Ohio 69 years ago, and her family afterward moved to Indiana, where she was married to Mr. Cooper. In 1855 Mr. Cooper with his family moved to Parker county, Texas, and in 1856 he moved to Jack county where the family has since resided. Mrs. Cooper was one of the first brave pioneer women of Jack county, who lived here during those days which tried the souls of even the bravest of men, when Indians roamed over the country undaunted and every life was in danger, and it was no uncommon occurrence for entire families to be murdered. She leaves a husband, a large number of children, grandchildren and relatives to mourn her death, but they have the satisfaction of knowing that she had no fear of the future and peacefully passed over the river.
