They are: John Cooper, who resides on the old home farm in Little Sauk township; Mrs. Helena Van, Geddes, S.D.; Mrs. Aletta Jaeger, Canada, and Cornelius Cooper, Jr., Madras, Oregon. Harry Cooper passed away 14 years ago, and Lillie a baby daughter, died at the age of two years.
Mrs. Cooper led a very active life. She was about her usual duties on Easter day. She had been an ardent member of the Congregational church in this city for many years. The funeral services will be held from the Congregational church Friday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by the pastor, Rev. C.S. Sparkes. The remains will be laid to rest beside those of her husband in Greenwood cemetery.
The children have the sympathy of a large number of old friends and neighbors in their affliction.
