General Notes: Husband - Nathan Joseph Cooper

---

He was born in New York City, and at the age of three years was brought by his parents to Warren County, Pennsylvania. He received a practical education in the schools of the neighborhood, and during his early life he assisted his father in the work of the homestead, aiding in clearing up the land, also worked with his father at his trade of painter, was employed in the lumber woods, driving oxen, and during the winter months shaved shingles. In this way he accumulated sufficient capital to purchase a farm of one hundred acres, known as the Whitmore farm, in Freehold township, on which he resided, and later he purchased one hundred acres of woodland. Subsequently he disposed of the farm and timber tract and purchased the old homestead from his father, residing on the same until 1891. He then erected a dwelling on an adjoining tract of fifteen acres, and sold the homestead to his son, Clyde C. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and was instrumental in the erection of the Freehold Forest Chapel, in which he served as trustee. In his political faith he was an adherent of the Republican party, and served as a member of the school board, as road commissioner and tax collector. In September, 1862, during the progress of the civil war, he enlisted in Company F, One Hundred and Fifty-first Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, for nine months' service, and was honorably discharged in August, 1863, with a record for bravery and good behavior.
