• Notes

  The last sad rites over the body of Mrs. Cooper, wife of Thomas Cooper, were observed at 2 on Mon. , Nov. 8. One of Hespeler's best known and most respected citizens, she died on Saturday morning, at 8, November 6, 1909. Mrs. Cooper, who was over 80 years of age, had been in ill health for some time, gradually sinking until she passed peacefully away. Service at her residence on Cooper St. in Hespeler was conducted by Rev. Jasper Wilson, after which the funeral cortege proceeded to Hespeler Cemetery, where interment took place. Many friends followed her body to her last resting place, as a last act of respect to one whom they loved. Her loving nature and gentle character endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. Mrs. Cooper was born in 1821 at Yeardly, near Hastings, Northhamptonshire, England and came to this country in 1851, with her husband and three children. The family settled at Queen's Bush in the county of Wellesley but lived in Berlin for two years, before taking up a farm. Forty years ago, the family took up residence on the old Seigle farm near Hespeler but after living there for six years, they moved to Puslinch, where the parental home remained until seven years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Cooper came to live in Hespeler. Here the happy couple celebrated their diamond wedding in 1908. After sixty-three with his chosen partner in life, Mr. Cooper is deeply grieved over her death, She also leaves four sons and two daughters: Jake, William, John, Joseph, Mrs. Dunbar and Mrs. Birch.
