Obituary
Mrs. S. S. Cooper
When the Death Angel came so suddenly and without any warning whatever to claim the life of Mrs. Cooper, he took from our midst one of the sweetest, gentlest of our characters and it was with profound regret that her friends received the sad news about eleven o'clock Monday morning that she had succumbed to the shock received when she learned of the death of her brother, A. G. Patrick, only a few hours previous.
Upon learning of the illness of her brother, late Sunday night, she went immediately to his home. She arrived too late to see him alive and with the glance which told her of his death she turned to her nephew and with a few inarticulate words, fell back into his arms, insensible. At first, it was thought that she had only swooned, but the hours crept by and she did not rally and about eleven o'clock she breathed her last, never having regained consciousness.
Mrs. Cooper was born in Greencastle, IN, Aug, 1836. Soon after her marriage with Dr. S. S. Cooper, they came to Kansas coming to Valley Falls in 1857. Later, after the Doctor's election as county treasurer, they made their home in Oskaloosa in 1860. In 1865 they returned to Indiana only to return here in the following year. For many years, they conducted the Jefferson House, and by their hospitality made it a very popular hotel, and the wide porch in front shaded by the huge maple trees became the rendezvous for those who wished to rest and spend an hour in pleasant chat.
Both she and her husband were charter members of the Presbyterian church and Mrs. Cooper was a faithful member of the same until life's end. Of a sweet, gentle, retiring disposition, she was a woman also of a firm character and decided opinions. While she did not work in public at all, she proved a warm friend and ready sympathizer to those in trouble and was very charitable.
She was a great lover of flowers, spending much time with them and her home in the summer was always a bower of flowers. It was indeed fitting that friends should send quantities of the blossoms she loved so well as tokens of their sorrow, and the carpet was a mass of flowers. Very sad it was to think of the brother and the sister together in death, out it was as they had been in life--they were very devoted to each other and their aims were the same.
