  Death of Edward Cooper Held Distinction of Crossing Atlantic 19 Times The death occurred at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. M. Ventham, on Thursday evening of Edward Cooper, aged 84 years, after being ill for two days of pneumonia. Deceased was born at King's Sonborne, Hampshire, England, and came to Ayr in 1875, along with several other families from that village, including the Hardings, Russets, Clarkes and Perrins. Deceased worked in Goldie's mill, Greenfield, for a lengthy period and was also an employee of the Great Western Railway (later taken over by the C. P. R.) at the time the tracks were laid through this village. During his residence in this community, Mr. Cooper made nine return trips to the land of his birth, which, including his original passage to Canada, gave him a record of 19 trips over the Atlantic. For a number of years, eight in all, deceased acted as mail courier for Ayr rural route No. 1, from which work he retired a number of years ago. He was a valued member of the former Methodist Church and later of Knox United. Deceased was a good citizen, who was much respected and esteemed by many friends. Besides his daughter, Mrs. A. M. Ventham, he is survived by two sisters in England. The funeral, which was private, took place to Ayr Cemetery on Saturday afternoon, the services being in charge of Rev. J. W. Currie. The pallbearers were: N. R. Morton, J. C. Powney, William House, Harold Plumstead, Richard Gemmell and William Manson. The Ayr News Feb 27 1936 pg 8
