A GOOD CITIZEN AND ABLE PHYSICIAN HAS GONE - WAS WELL KNOWN IN THIS VICINITY
The following obituary sketch taken from a recent number of the Orion (Michigan) Weekly Review, will be read with general regret by our readers, particularly those in Caradoc township, as the subject was in the highest esteem by a large circle of acquaintances in that neighborhood.
After a prolonged illness Dr. Thomas H. Cooper died from Tuberculosis, Nov. 1st, 1904, at the home of his father, James Cooper Melbourne, Canada, at the age of 44 years. The funeral was held on the 3rd.
The deceased, in earlier life was engaged in the mercantile line but later he took up the study of medicine, graduating from the Detroit College of Medicine in 1898, and in the summer of the same year, removed his family to Orion, Michigan, where he built up a large and successful practice, remaining her until the fall of 1902, when failing health convinced him of the necessity of removing to a climate more favorable to his physical condition, and he removed to Nogal, New Mexico, where later he was joined by his family.
It was here that conditions seemed to be most favorable and from where our readers will remember a number of cheerful descriptive letters written to the Review, letters which attracted considerable attention outside the immediate circle of the author's acquaintance. However, the doctor's ambition to extend his practice to fields more congenial to himself and his family, led him to remove to Pueblo, Colorado, where he quickly built up a paying practice, but the climate there proved unfavorable and he was soon prostrated, being barely able to stand the return trip to Nogal, where his recuperating power proved to be too weak to avail and his professional instinct led him to see that it was but a question of a few months, and he requested that he be taken back to his old Canadian home that he might be allowed to spend his remaining days among his friends and relatives.
Dr. Cooper was a member of the Masonic Order and he was also a member of the Orion Maccabee tent, in which he carried $1000 insurance. He was also a member of the Orion Methodist society.
The deceased leaves a wife, Mrs. Minnie (Northcott) Cooper, and three children; Mina, aged 12 years, Lillian, aged 10 years, and Wilfred, aged 7 years. A truly good man has gone.
The doctor's sketches of his trip throughout Mexico as mentioned in the above were subsequently reproduced in the "Age", and were relished with much interest by our readers. Mrs. Cooper and children have come to Strathroy, and will spend the winter with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Norcott, Caradoc Street.
Age, Nov. 24, 1904
Thomas Cooper was a physician by profession. He was also a Mason, and attained the high chair of Grand Master, over all of the lodges in Ontario, Canada. I hava a copy of his official decree. This decree lists:
First degree - 11th August AI5886 1886
Second degree - 20th October AI5886
Third degree - 17th November AI5886
Signed 19th January 5887 1887
