Cleminia Downing Cooper, a native of Muncie, Ind., was born February 18, 1842 and died in Medford, Oregon, June 15, 1903. She was married to W. K. Cooper, in Unionville, Mo., in 1870. To this union was born four children- Chester, Betta Pormilee, of St. Paul, Minn., Daisy Maxson, of Shellsbury, Iowa, and Olive Cooper, of St. Paul, Minn. Her husband died Feb. 22, 1893, after which she made her home with her oldest daughter, Betta Pormilee, of St. Paul. November last she came to Medford to visit friends and thinking to regain her health; but steadily grew worse until death relieved her of her suffering. She was a patient sufferer and bore her sickness with Christian meekness. She united with the M. E. church when a child and with a devotion characteristic of our Fathers, she loved and served her church. Her funeral took place from the First M. E. church, her pastor pronouncing a high eulogy on her Christian faith and life. She will long live in the memory of those whose pleasure it was to know her.
