Hello and welcome to the Genealogy Trails website for Cooper County, Missouri. As we believe all data should be without cost, our goal at Genealogy Trails is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers. This is a continuation of our original, and highly successful, Genealogy Trails Illinois History and Genealogy Project and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and of course, your data contributions. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as our Illinois websites are. If you think you might be interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer Page for further information and email Kim. You are welcome to browse the information on these pages and at the many links provided to garner the data needed to continue your research into your family history. However, Please remember that this information, in many cases, represents years of painstaking research on the part of myself, or the many generous volunteers who have donated their information to this site. You can show your respect for these efforts by not taking things to use on other websites and/or to claim as your own. I thank you in advance for your consideration. |

County Updates April 2012

| COOPER COUNTY Is situated on the south side of the Missouri river, in the central
part of the State. The face of the country gently undulating, and
advantageously diversified with timber and prairie-there are very
few counties possessing a more equal division of what is so
desirable to farmers-prairie and timber land. The alluvial ?
occupies a large area in the bottoms of the Missouri, the Lamine and
the Little Saline, and is generally covered with a heavy growth of
cottonwood, sycamore, elm, black elder, sugar-tree, white maple, red
birch, white, black, and blue ash, coffee tree, honey locust, the
various kinds of oaks and hickories, red-bud, hackberry, willows,
and grape. The soil of the county at large, is very fertile and well
adapted to all the purposes of agriculture. Springs, both fresh and
mineral, are abundant-several of which are classed as "brine" and "sulphur".
Ch**teau Spring, about ten miles from Boonville, has a wide
reputation as a pleasant and healthy watering place. Water bursts
from the earth in four places, within a short distance from each
other. The amount of water discharged is ten gallons per minute, or
14,000 gallons per day, and the gas that escapes at least two
gallons per minute. The most extensive manufactory in the county is
that of the "Booneville Wine Company", about one mile about
Boonville. Their vineyard and orchard embraces upwards of 100 acres.
The lands are admirably suited to grape culture. Haas' Catawba has a
wide reputation. An extensive woolen factory, and an agricultural
implement manufactory are much needed, and would prove profitable
investments.
