JOHN H. COOPER
, was a native son of Pike county, having been born in Pittsfield, Oct. 10, 1836?, being the son of Asa D. Cooper and Eleanor Goodin, of this county. He was married in Martinsburg township, February 1, 1857, to Miss Mary M. Moomaw, a native of Ohio, a daughter of Rev. Jacob Moomaw, a German Baptist minister, who came to Pike county from Ohio. To Mr. and Mrs. Cooper were born four children; George D., Mare E., wife of Wesley Walston; William Hardin, and Charles H. He and his wife adopted a little girl eight years of age, reared and educated her, and she is now the wife of Frank Goodin. Benton Johnson, when only a boy, also became a member of their family and was reared to manhood. He is now a carpenter in Pittsfield. They also reared James Cooper, a younger brother of the deceased.
At the time of their marriage, Mr. Cooper and his good wife had little of this world’s goods and experienced many hardships and privations, but they worked and were frugal and became most prosperous and throughout the whole countryside no family was more honored and of more value to the community as citizens, church workers and neighbors. The memory that such pioneers leave behind is monument enough for any man. Mr. Cooper served the county as township collector, road supervisor and school director, but never aspired to public honors. Mr. Cooper’s aged wife preceded him to the better land but nine months."
