A MOTHER IN ISRAEL HAS PASSED
Mrs. Eliz. Cooper called to Rest
Mrs. Elizabeth Foster Cooper, daughter of Lewis and Susan Foster, was born on October 7, 1838, on the old Foster farm at Broad Top, Pennsylvania, and died February 10, 1931, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George M. Shore, in Cedar township, Lucas county, Iowa, at the ripe old age of 92 years, 4 months and 3 days.
Early in life she came with her parents to Iowa and has made this state her home ever since.
She was united in marriage with Asbury Duckworth, who died at Little Rock, Arkansas, while serving his country as a Union soldier.
To this union were born four children. Lewis Duckworth and Mrs. Harriet Shore, of Cedar township, Lucas county, Iowa; Oliver Duckworth, of North Platte, Nebraska, and Mrs. Matilda F. Shore, of Tulare, California.
Her second husband was Wesley Teeter. To them were born two sons, Edgar and Ira, of Boulder, Colorado, and one daughter, Ida, who died in infancy. She was Ira's twin. Her third husband was John R. Cooper, a Union soldier, who preceded her in death several years ago. Out of a family of thirteen brothers and sisters only one survives, a brother, Clay Foster, of Kearney, Nebraska.
In early life she was converted at a Methodist altar in the old fashioned way, joined the Methodist church and remained a faithful and loyal member of her church until God called her to come up higher into a better life.
Aunt Lizzie Cooper, as she was affectionately called, was loved by everybody who knew her. She was so kind and friendly with everybody and could always be depended upon to help in time of sickness and trouble.
The last several years of her life were spent at the home of her daughter, Harriet (Mrs. Geo. M. Shore) where she was given the kindliest care by a loving daughter and son-in-law. She had been in failing health for several months before the end came so gently and peacefully.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. L. Stone, of Chariton at Zion church on Thursday, Feb. 12, 1931, at 10 o'clock a.m. Interment was in Zion cemetery.
"She comes to her grave in a full age like a schock of corn in its season."
"Let me die the death of the righteous. Let my last end be like His."
