The Late Hamlin Cooper
Two weeks ago we made mention
of the death of Mr. Hamlin Cooper,
of Hardisty, Sask., brother of Mrs.
Wm. Pincombe, of town. The follow
ing item refers to his death;
"The sudden death . of Hamlin
Cooper, which occured last Saturday
morning came as a great shock to
the whole community. Thomas Ham
lin Cooper was born at Lucan, On
tario, on January 7, 1891. He came
West twenty-four years ago, and foi’
the past 21 years has been farming
in the Strong district south of Har
disty. From the time he settled
here, he bad taken a keen interest
in all matters affecting the public
welfare, and gave eighteen years of
faithful service as a Councillor of
Flagstaff Municipality, continuing
active till the very end. He was
widely known and highly respected
as a man of charming personality
and conscientious devotion to duty.
A man of high ideals and noble char
acter, his constant purpose in life
was to serve his fellow man. The
whole community is poorer for his
passing, and it will be no easy task
to fill his place. To his sorrowing
wife and family who survive him, as
well as his brother John, and a sister
Beatrice (Mrs. Chadwick) and other
relatives the deepest sympathy of all
is extended The funeral service
was hdld in Hardisty on Monday,
May 8th, the Rev. P. J. Disney offi
ciating, assisted by the Rev. I. N.
Hughson. Interment took place in
Hardisty cemetery.
Although the worst dust storm
of the season was blowing at the
time set for the service, a very large
number' of friends and neighbors
were present, testifying at once to
the sympathy all felt for the bereav
ed, and to the high regard in which
the name of Hamlin Cooper was
everywhere held.”
