Coop. David F. Coop, son of Bro. James and Catharine Coop, after a life here of 16 years, 4 months, and I day, passed peacefully away on
Saturday July 13th, I889, at IO a.m., of abscess of the stomach, a lingering illness of eight weeks.
His two sisters and a brother which were absent were sent for, and arrived there just in time to see his last smile. He tried to talk to them, but, alas, it was too late! Seeing he could not talk, he cast his eyes separately on them with a smile, then turning his face from them, passed into a peaceful sleep, which none ever wake to weep.
Many friends from the city of Downs and country accompanied the remains to the cemetery of Downs, Kansas.
''We shall all go home to our Father's house,
To our Father's house in the skies,
Where the hope of our soul shall have no blight,
And our love no broken ties.
We shall roam on the banks of the river of peace,
And bathe in its blissful tide;
And one of the joys of our heaven shall be,
Our darling boy that died."
