General Notes: Husband - Frank Reed Cooker

---

When he was just a boy, he was put out on a farm in lower Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and he worked thereon until his enlistment, in June, 1862, in Company A, 138th Reg., Pa. Vol. Inf., under Captain Fisher, and he served three years, being mustered out at the end of the war at Harrisburg. He served his country like a brave soldier and in the long marches, skirmishes and battles proved himself a cheerful and reliable comrade. After the war had closed he went back to Montgomery County, and in 1867 located in Clearfield County, which was then still heavily timbered. He worked for a time for David Horning, and then for quite a period rented farms, but eventually, in 1878, he purchased a farm from J. B. Hewett. At that time there was only a house located on this property, but Mr. Cooker made all the necessary improvements, and cleared his land, making it one of the finest tracts of its size in the township. The B. & S. Railroad ran on the south and east boundaries of Mr. Cooker's farm, this being the Bennett's Branch division of that line.
He was a member of the Grange and a comrade of the G. A. R. He was a Republican in politics.
