General Notes: Husband - Albert Fenimore Cooper


He accompanied his parents when about four years of age to New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he had the advantages of the public schools until he was fifteen years of age, when he began to learn the miller's trade with his father and followed it for ten years. In 1888 he commenced the manufacture of incubators and brooders.
In politics he was a Republican. He held numerous public offices: In 1893 he was elected to the state legislature of Pennsylvania from his district by a majority of three thousand eight hundred, running ahead of his ticket. At the 1893 session of the legislature Mr. Cooper was chairman of the committee of geological survey, and committees on agriculture, legislative appointments and was secretary of the railroad committee. As a new member, Speaker Walton honored him by placing him at the head of the geological committee. In 1894 he was the representative of Pennsylvania to the St. Louis Exposition.
He was a member of Masonic Lodge, No. 313; Odd Fellows' Lodge, No. 346; Elks' Lodge, No. 931, and the Modern Woodmen of the World.
