Educator, Philanthropist, Minister of Gospel of Jesus Christ; Methodist Episcopal South Minister, President of Whitworth College for 23 years.
Shortly after you enter the cemetery from the main entrance you will see a large white marble tombstone with the
Cooper name on it. Buried in this plot is Inman W. Cooper, president of Whitworth College for 23 years. Also buried in
this plot is his father Preston Cooper, the founder of Cooper's Wells, a "health spa" that was located in Hinds County.
He was a Methodist minister.
The Rev. Cooper, died in 1858 and was originally buried in Meridian, but it was requested by his son, Inman, that his
body and that of his mother and a grandchild be moved to Rosehill. This was done in 1927, two years after Inman
Cooper's death. The Rev. Cooper's metallic coffin conformed to the body and had a round piece of glass located over
the face and 69 years after his death his face was almost perfectly preserved. Pictures were made for the family.
