A Double Funeral - The double funeral of James R. Coop and his sister, Mrs. Ida Caparoon, took place at the home of Mr. Coop last Sunday afternoon, a week ago, at 3 o'clock conducted by Rev J O Borton, pastor of the Methodist church. The bad weather and terrible roads prevented many from attending the service, which was necessarily brief. Even the deceased man's wife and mother were unable to go to the cemetery on account of sickness and bad roads which made their burden of grief that much harder to bear. The body of Mrs. Caparoon who died at her home in Bonner Springs, was brought to Downs by a neighbor, her husband being too sick to come to Downs, and the oldest daughter also being very ill with the prevailing malady. It is indeed a very sad incident in the lives of these people and calls for sympathy of everyone.
We were unable to obtain the obituary notice of Mrs. Caparoon, but the following brief notice was read by the minister regarding Mr. Coop: James T Coop was born in Downs, Kansas, in 1885, and died October 23, 1918, aged 33 years. He spent his entire life in this city with the exception of one year in Beloit. He was married to Miss Electa Pearl Tylee. Two children were born to them, one of whom died in infancy. The name of the surviving son is Theodore Hardin. The other son George Ransom died in 1910, at the age of two days. Mr. Coop was the son of the late Ransom Coop and Mrs. Coop, and is survived by his wife, one son, a widowed mother and one brother.
After the short service at the home the two bodies were taken to the Downs Cemetery where interment was made in the family plot.
