The body was taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Cooper of Carl township. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the First Baptist Church at 2 o'clock, the services being conducted by his pastor, Rev. Richmond A. Smith. Interment was made in Forest Hill Cemetery. The pall bearers were all cousins and all Homan boys and were Millard, Harley, Howard, Harvey, Charles, and Wesley. Edmund Homer Cooper was the youngest son of Wesley and Sarah Ellen Homan Cooper and was body July 27, 1897 in Carl Township this county, and was aged 20 years, 2 months, and 14 days. His life had been spent at the home and is like an open book to his many friends and relatives. He was of a very reserved disposition, but reserve was not the sign of mental sluggishness, rather he was unusually bright, keen and alert, as well as energetic and ambitious. At the age of thirteen years, he was converted and baptized, uniting with the Baptist Church. He was usually in excellent health, but it is now recalled that there was inclinations in recent months that he was not well and his condition not improving under home remedies, the local physician was summoned who advised his going in the hospital where he was taken immediately. Monday afternoon an operation was performed for appendicitis and another followed Wednesday afternoon. During the succeeding twenty-four hours it was evident in all that he could not recover, and when he realized that he was going, he asked if the physician could do nothing more for him and when told that they had put fourth every effort and were unable to do more, he replied that he was ready and it was all right and perfectly willing to go and bid his entire family, who were with him, an affectionate good bye. One little incident showing the uprightness of his character was revealed when he asked his father to pay two small amounts, that he owed and feared the parents was not away of. Thus closed the early mission of the pet and pride of the family and it will be remembered by the relatives with great satisfaction and affection that he never spoke an unkind word to parent, brother, sister, or friend. He is survived by his father, Sylvester W. Cooper, his step-mother Mrs. Eva Cooper, three brothers, Weaver, Prentice and Walter and three sisters, Mrs. S. R. Keester, Misses Bessie and Florence. Also two grandmothers, Mrs. Houser and Mrs. Homan, besides a very wide circle of other relatives and friends. Adams County Free Press, October 10, 1917, page 9
