MRS. GUY COOPER KILLED IN A RUNAWAY
Effingham New Leaf
Raising an umbrella behind a team that was driven by her husband Sunday lost Mrs. Guy Cooper, who lived southwest of Effingham, her life. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper and their eight months old baby Lola Frances had started to drive to the home of Mr. Cooper's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Cooper, two miles south of Effingham, for dinner. Like a flash the horses started to run. Mr. Cooper suggested she throw the baby out and jump, but she refused to do so. She was thrown out with great force, striking squarely on her head, the baby falling with her. Mr. Cooper soon brought the horses under control and rushed back to find his wife dead. An examination by the doctors showed that her neck was broken. The baby was uninjured.
Elizabeth Sarah Freeland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Freehand, was born March 13, 1890. She confessed faith in her Saviour as was born with him in Christian baptism when she was 14 years old. November 25, 1909, she was married to Guy C. Cooper. She died August 31, 1913, at the age of 23 years, 5 months and 18 days. Besides her husband and the baby spoken of, she leaves another little daughter, Velma Alice, three years old, father and mother, four brothers and three sisters, to mourn her loss. Lizzie as she was well known and called by her many friends, was always devoted to her Bible school and church work, faithful to her Lord, and her friendship was constant and undeviating, and to know her was to love her. The funeral was held Monday afternoon in the Christian church, conducted by Rev. Murphy, and was the largest ever known in the history of the church. Estimation placed the number attending the services at six hundred, which goes to show the high esteem in which Mrs. Cooper was held. Interment was made in the Effingham cemetery. Mr. Cooper and the children will make their home with his parents.
