8th Georgia Regiment
Daily Constitutionalist, Augusta, GA, 28 Dec 1861: Death of Col. T. L. Cooper
A private dispatch in the Atlanta Confederacy, of Dec. 27th, dated at Manassa, Dec 24th, says that Col. T. L. Cooper, of the 8th Georgia Regiment, was killed on the day previous by a fall from his horse. His brother was to have left Manassa with the remains of the deceased the day following.
The Confederacy, in noticing the death of Col Cooper, says of him:
Col. Cooper was the oldest son of the distinguished statesman and public spirited citizen, the Hon. Mark A. Cooper - known to every Georgian as the embodiment of energy and public enterprise.
We suppose Col. Cooper was about thirty-three years of age. He graduated at Franklin College in Athens, taking the first honor of his class. After completing his legal studies, he commenced the practice of law in this city; and though he met with very distinguished and experienced lawyers at our bar, his close attention to business, indomitable energy and strong will, soon placed him in the front rank of the bar in the Coweta circuit.
On the breaking out of the war, he went to Virginia as Captain of the Atlanta Greys, in the 8th Georgia regiment. At the organization of the regiment, he was appointed Major; on the death of the lamented Bartow, Lieut. Col. Gardner, was promoted to the Colonelcy, and Major Cooper to the Lieut. Colonelcy; and on the promotion of Col. Gardner to the Brigadier Generalship, he was appointed to the command of this regiment. He was true to his trust, diligent and attentive to his duties.
The Confederacy adds:
Who can fail to deeply sympathy with his aged and venerable father, who has, by this cruel war, lost two of his three gallant sons - all of whom were in the army of the Potomac?
