Jones ioif Hastings; The death occurred on Saturday morning at the farm home, Stanley township, just north of the village of Kippen, after a somewhat pro­ tracted illness, bcrne with the ut­ most patience and fortitude, of William W. Cooper. Mr. Cooper undemvent a very critical operation in t-he Scott Memorial Hospital dur­ ing the fall of 1934 and although for the time being he was relieved and benefited thereby a severe mo­ tor accident in 1935 apparently ag­ gravated his former ailment and at time, in spite of the best medicaf skill and kind nursing he gradually became weaker until death ensued as above stated. Deceased was the elder son of the late James Cooper and was born on the Cooper homestead ,on the London Road, Tuckersmith in February, 1871 and whose death constitutes the first breach in t>he family circle of seven sisters and two brothers. In May, P899 Mr Cooper was united in mar­ riage with Miss Alice Bell, daughter of the late Donald Bell, of Hay Twp. and since that time have lived on the farm in Stanley Twp. until his death. Besides his sorrowing widow he leaves to mourn this parting sen William R. at home and daughters Misses Margaret, of ronto and Grace, of London; five grand children. The surviving sisters are: Mrs. A. Brown, Mrs. T. N. Forsyth, Mrs. F. Upshall and .Mrs. A. Bell, Kippen; Miss M. Cooper and Mrs. Elsie Deyell, Toronto and Mrs. one brother Robert J. Cooper also sur­ vives. The funeral services Mon­ day, November 30th and which were largely attended were conducted by Rev. E. F. Chandler, of St. Andrew’s United Church, his address being fittingly sympathetic, his admoni­ tion timely. The beautiful solo “Will the Circle be Unbroken” was feelingly rendered by Mrs. J. W. Bonthron, of Hensall and the floral tributes beautiful, including those of the immediate family, the brother and sisters, the Kippen neighbors, The London Life and others. The remains were borne to- their last resting place in Baird’s cemetery, the pall-bearers being James Must­ ard, Samuel W. Thompson, Wilfred Meilis, Edgar Butt, William Kyle and Clifford Watson.

The said trundle bed upon which tired, but happy children were put to sleep, I may explain, was made upon a low wooden framework to slide during the daytime, beneath our parents bed, to be brought out again the following night. Well do I remember the time the enlarging family required additional room and the scoop roof was remov­ ed, a few rounds of new logs and a gaible roof added an attic chamber, reached by a ladder that supplied the needed accommodation, new bed-room I recall one morning following blustery night when the found its way through crevice that escaped mother’s care­ ful moss chinking and covered the floor and bed to a considerable depth that brought mother, pan to our rescue. And what think you sound that greeted our a morning, but the clip, clap, clip of father’s sharp-edged axe as his mighty strokes drove it deep into a doomed giant already trembling to join his fallen comrades.
