Fleet Cooper SR and his song Rev. Fleet Cooper, Jr.
Both he and his father owned large acreages and resided about one mile south of Concord School on the Clinton-Roseboro highway, and there they are both buried. Both of the graves have practically been forgotten, for they are now being plowed over


Taken from the Religious Herald, February 22, 1828, pg 27: "Died, in Sampson county, NC, after a few days' illness, the Rev. Fleet Cooper, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. The deceased had been an advocate for the doctrines of the cross in the Baptist church for fifty years, left behind him an unblemished reputation, and died in the full assurance of a glorious immortality. 'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, for the rest from their labors and their works do follow them.'"
