Frank L. Cooper, superintendent of the public schools of Lake county, died at his home in Crown Point Friday morning last, after an illness of one week. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at Crown Point, and friends in great numbers from far and near attended to pay their respects to the memory of one of God's real noblemen. Mr. Cooper has served as superintendent of public schools in Lake county since 1882, and previous to that time, has served as principal of the Crown Point high school. He was the first High Chief Ranger of the Independent Order of Foresters, and led the secession of that order from the Illinois range. He was also a Knight of Pythias, and held high offices in that body. At the time of his death he was vice president of the Commercial bank of Crown Point. He leaves a wife and one son, Eugene. Flags at half mast floated from every public school building in Lake county during the funeral services, and the teachers united in furnishing a beautiful floral tribute, as an expression of love for their departed chief.

Inscription
Faithful to the call of the spirit he lived a life of singular goodness. He was a loving husband, a tender father. For four and twenty years as superintendent of the Lake County Schools he gave his best effort to the cause of education. "His life was gentle; and the elements so mixed in him, that nature might stand up and say to all the world, "This was a man."
