Frank W. COOPER [Parents] 1, 2, 3 was born 4 in Jan 1860 in Bearfield Twp, Perry County, Ohio. He married Jennie A. MILLIGAN on 14 Apr 1879 in Perry, Ohio.
Article from the New Lexington (Ohio) Tribune, Thursday, April 17, 1879:
Married on April 14, 1879, by Rev. E. Rose, Mr. Frank W. Cooper and Miss Jennie A. Milligan.The last record of Frank Cooper being in Ohio was the birth of son, Edgar, in 1884. The 1890 Census was destroyed by fire leaving a twenty-year time gap. Other records indicate that the family left Ohio in 1889 and headed West. City directories for Tacoma, Washington, show Frank working at various jobs such as teamster and laborer. About 1895 Frank is no longer shown in Tacoma but appears in Portland, Oregon, city directories. Possibly his wife, Jennie, was already in Portland. There's a Mrs. Jennie Cooper listed in the 1890-1891 Portland, Oregon, city directory. She is a seamstress.
The 1900 Census shows Frank Cooper working as a cook in a quartz mining camp in Lane County (ED 119, Bohemia Precinct), Oregon. His wife, Jennie, and three children are living in Portland, Oregon. Frank and Jennie are both shown as still being married.
After 1900 the two sons, William and Edgar, moved to Seattle, Washington. Jennie appears to stay in Portland with daughter, Anna, at least until 1905. By the 1910 Census, Jennie and Frank are lost again, however the two sons, William and Edgar, are living in Seattle.
This researcher has been unable to find any convincing record of Frank after 1900. He might have appeared in some Portland directories until 1907. Family records indicate he likely died prior to 1912 when his brother, Isaac W. Cooper died. Isaac's obituary mentions his other surviving brothers but not Frank.
Jennie A. MILLIGAN [Parents] 1, 2, 3 was born in Dec 1860 in Ohio. She married Frank W. COOPER on 14 Apr 1879 in Perry County, Ohio.
