Died From Two Accidents
Thomas B. Cooper living six miles east of here, died Monday evening, from the shock of two accidents that befell him within a few days of one another. A few days before his death he stumbled in the yard and sustained a deep gash over one of his eyes. On Monday morning he was driving homeward and at the Eibes corner the horse slipped into a deep ditch at the road intersection. His left hip was broken and so was his left collar bone. The buggy was demolished. Mr. Cooper did not rally from the shock of the accident and died that night.
Thomas B. Cooper was born in Platte City, Mo., November 15, 1840. He was united in marriage to Julia M. Horr, October 4, 1866. To this union were born eleven children, six of whom survive, namely William Cooper, of Leavenworth, Lizzie A., and Ernest H., of Linwood, Eugene B., of Platte City, Mo., Laura H., and Charlie B., Tonganoxie. Mrs. Cooper died May 16, 1886. In 1902 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Mattie Miller who also survives as do three sisters, two brothers and fifteen grandchildren. The deceased had been a resident of this county for fifteen years. He spent most of his life in Platte county, Mo. He enlisted in the confederate army at the age of 19 and served a little over four years.
Funeral services were held at the home yesterday morning at ten o'clock and were conducted by Rev. Gordon of the Methodist church. Interment took place in the Glenwood cemetery.
