General Notes: Husband - Dr. Joseph L. Cooper
He received a basis for advanced educational studies in the schools of New Castle, Pennsylvania, and finished his academic education in the State Normal School at Edinboro, and in Grove City Academy. In 1881, he became a medical student under Dr. Mont. Linville of New Castle, in whose office he remained two years; he then entered the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, and graduated in the Class of 1884. He immediately began to practice and located for one year at New Springfield, Ohio, and then came to New Castle, where he then practiced and established himself as one of the leading physicians and surgeons of the city.
He was a member of the Lawrence County Medical Association, and was president of the same in 1896. He was one of the best surgeons in western Pennsylvania, and his medical practice grew very extensive, depending on a reputation for skill and professional daring that was far above the ordinary. One case of a little girl, who was severely burned to such a degree that skin-grafting offered the only chance of saving her life, and restoring her to perfect health, was undertaken by Dr. Cooper, who, after grafting many hundred pieces of skin, effected a complete cure, and added a world-renowned cure to the annals of modern medical science.
