Lawrence Charles Cooper the son of Charles and Sarah Lawrence Cooper was born in England on Oct 15, 1846. The Cooper family moved to this area from Clinton County, N.Y., in 1852. Lawrence was an attorney, village historian and manager of Glen Ellyn's first baseball team. Lawrence C. Cooper and his wife, Emma Yalding Cooper, built a home on Park Boulevard in 1893 in an area commonly known to locals as the "S curve" just north of the railroad tracks. Few know, however, that this peculiar twist in the road was very deliberate and was but one of many contributions to the village made by Lawrence C. Cooper. He studied Law and graduated from the Univ of Michigan in 1868. His Law office was in Chicago and he lost nearly all of his possessions during the Great Chicago Fire. For forty years he was on the legal staff of the Chicago and North Western Railway. He was President and largest stockholder of the Glen Ellyn State Bank. He was also for four years the State's Attorney for Dupage County.
In 1871 he married Emma Yalding.
