L. M. COOPER, JR., JR. DIED SUNDAY
L. M. Cooper, Jr., of Hathorn, one of the county's most prominent and likable citizens, died Sunday, December 2, at 2 A. M. , after a few days' illness with pneumonia, his death coming unexpectedly to his relatives and the circle of friends which extends over two or three counties. Mr. Cooper led a healthy outdoor life in the occupation of buying cattle and farming but the insidious disease claimed him at the age of 46. The funeral was held Monday morning at 10 o'clock at the Society Hill Church, Rev. J. R. Carter, pastor of the Hathorn Church conducting the last ceremony assisted by the Bunker Hill Woodmen Lodge. Several hundred people gathered to show respect for the memory of their friend and the church could not contain the crowd.
Besides the wife, eight stalwart sons and three daughters have been unexpectedly deprived of the comfort of his earthly presence. Three sons are in Uncle Sam's Service, Duluth and Talmadge, in the Hawaiian Islands and Cuba, respectively , as wireless operators, and Herbert, in the 114th ammunition train, at camp Beauregard, La. The two boys stationed beyond the continent could not attend their father in his fatal illness. Mr. Cooper was popular as a business man and universal regret is expressed at his demise. He was a mason and a woodman, a deacon in the Hathorn Church and will be greatly missed, especially in his own community. He was liberal with his friends and liberal with his means, so much so that at his death through successful in a business way, he was not as comfortably fixed in the worlds goods as the public thought. At the last church service he attended and appeal was made in behalf of the Army, Y. M. C. A. and he contributed five dollars. Mr. Cooper was truly a good man and his family can find much comfort in the heritage left them. So much kindness has been shown the bereft ones that they may desire to thank the neighbors for the thoughtful favors.

OBITUARY
On December 2nd Mr. L. M. Cooper Jr., who was our trusted friend and deacon at Hathorn, was called from the earthly walks of life to his home above.
He had suffered for two weeks with pneumonia and despite the skill of the physician and trained nurse and the tender care of loved ones, he succumbed to the dread disease.
Bro. Cooper was a good man, kind and gentle in his home, generous and accommodating to neighbors and friends.
He leaves to mourn their loss a wife and large family of children, aged father and mother and several brothers and sisters. His funeral was attended by more than five hundred of his friends and relatives. He was laid to rest in the cemetery of Society Hill Church on Monday, December 3rd. We shall all miss him but we rest in good hope that he is free from care and pain. We shall labor and toil and trust and hope to meet again. By: J. R. Carter, Jackson, Miss.
