JOHN +, COOPER At REST.
Story Of the Life of One Of Minot's Most
Prominent and Best Citizens Funeral
Was Very Large

John F. Cooper was born
October 20, 1910 at Glen
Williams, Ont. and died March l I,
1905, after a short illness OF
appendicitis at st. Luze's hospi-
tai in this city. With the demise
ofMr Cooper, oneof Minot, smost
esteemed citizens and Oldest bus
mess men passed away.
Mr.. Cooper was the son OF a
jeweler and when a little boy
learned the trade. He worked at
his fathers bench until he was a
young man and then opened a
jeWelry store Of his own at
Georgetown, Ont. This was in
1864. In 1870 he moved to Mt.
Forrest, Ont, where he worked
at his trade and two years later
he was married to Miss Annie
McDougall. To this union eight
children were born, all Of whom
are living. They are Mrs. John
Mcconnell, Misses Ida, Dollie,
Laurel and Elvya, all Of this
city, Allan OF Mohall, John OF
Stanley and William who lives
at home. Mrs. Cooper survives
her husband.
Mr.. Cooper moved to Minot in
1887, and on April 10Th of that
year opened the first jewelry
store in the county. On May 4,
q fire swept over q portion OF
Minot and Mr.. Cooper's jewelry
store was burned. All that he
saved Of his stock and tools, were
his customers watches. The
building stood at that time where
the Leland Department store
now stands. Mr.. Cooper had the
right amount OF tenacity and
soon re-established himself and
continued to do business until a
few days before his death. For
years he was watch Inspector for
the Great Northern.
The deceased was Justice Of the

over, we pass into the darkness
OF the night OF death, all there
will be left OF us will be the
example OF our lives and the
influence Of our actions and
opinions.
Today he is deaf to the an
plause OF friends, and the taunts
OF Toes, the sweet voices Of love
lnsensible to glory.
Between that yesterday and
this today is an abyss no line
has ever sounded and this world
with all its wisdom knows not
what it is like.
John F.Cooper was direct, ont
spoken, without a shadow Of
hypocrisy, and in allhis Personal
relations his allegiance to his
friends was faithful.
The grave is silent. He will
return no more from "the ruins
with more important discover
les. May we all hope to leave
behind US as kindly remem-
ORANGES, unalloyed save by
sorrow and regret.
In conclusion | willsay that the
memory OF Dad Cooper will be
forever cherished and honored by
the "brethern, friends and COM
panions' who have been inspired
by his lofty spirit. In this last

free from malice, he closed his
earthly career in the arms OF
death. Honored and respected,
he surrendered to the inevitable
conditions which limit all ambi-

fading from sight and the weary
eye is straining toward the inn

traveller ever returns. e.

Mr.. Cooper was a prominent
Mason. He Joined the order il
1892 being initiated Feb. 4
He passed March 3 and was
raised March 81. He held office
in the lodge from 1892 to 1904.
He was also a member Of the K.
p. order.
He was a member OF the Pres
byterian church and one of the
directors.
The funeral was held from the
Presbyterian church Friday af-
ternoon at two-thirty o'clock.
The obsequies were in charge OF
the Masons IS in number headed
by the Minot High School band.
The K. P.'s were also out in a
body. The procession was formed
at the Masonic hall and marched
to the Cooper residence from
which place the body was escort
ed to the church. The funeral
was one of the largest ever in
seen Minot. The church was
packed and hundreds of the
friends stood outside during the
services. Rev. VIM. G. Hunter
preached the sermon and the
effort was the best one of his life.
During the course of the sermon
Mr.. Hunter repeated Mr.. Cooper's
favorite passage OF the Bible, a
verse taught him by his mother
when he was but q little boy,
the 23rd Psalm. After the
funeral services, the remains were
escorted to Rose Hill cemetery
where they were inferred with
Masonic honors.

eulogy on the memory OF a friend

eulogy on the memory Of a frient
and a companion is an Office
which we fear we cannot fulfil
with full credit Of the deceased
In our humble way we wish to
pay such tribute as we are able
to the character OF him whom
we esteemed in life and whose
name we revere in death. None
OF US upon our brief pilgrimage
can lift the veil which closes out
the unknown realm, where the
king and the serf meet on an
equal basis; from which the rea-
| per cometh with his scythe tocut
down his weeds and his flowers.
But one fact that we all know;
our hour must come, do what
we may to ward Off the myster-
ious touch which stills foreverall
Joys. all sorrows, all strife, all
conflicts. all hope and all earth
ly aspirations. Amid those
stern truths we realize a name
less comfort in the thought that
everything passes away, the
stars, the dust and the rolling
hills; But as Bulwer beautifully
expresses it:
10 rise upon some fairer shore,
And Bright in Heavens Jeweled Crown
To shine Forever.
Dad Cooper, as he was familiar
ly known to many Of US, was
always scrupulously careful OF the
feelings of others, even at the
sacrifice Of his own feelings and
interests. He made firm friends
wherever tickle fate CHANGED to
cast his lot, irrespec i've Of the
coneeniality of CLINE or the people
with whom he was thrown in
contact. He possessed the keen
est sense Of honor, which word,
in it's fullest acceptation means
the reflection Of q mans own
actions shining like the sun in the
face of all about him and from
thence rebounding upon Himself.
He has been taken by relentless
Death, and has left behind him q
monument Of good works more
lofty than the proudest gift
known to the book of heraldly.
