Emma met and married William Cooper in England. They had three children: May, Ada, and Lena. While Emma was in England she worked as a nurse and worked with the poor and sick. The Cooper family all arrived in America in 1880 and settled in North Platte in 1881. Emma had three more children with William: Emily and Margaret (twins) and Victoria (who died at age 5). Sometime between 1888 and 1889, William Cooper returned to England and died during the voyage. Emma was left to care for, feed, and raise her girls by herself. William D. Pulver was born in Albany, New York. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served with the 7th New York Heavy Artillery for three years. He served in the Union Army during the Civil War. On June 16, 1864, William was captured in Petersburg, Virginia and was sent to Andersonville Prison where he survived for nine long months. After the war was over, he was promoted to Corporal and mustered out of the military on June 16, 1865. In April of 1870, William Pulver married Elizabeth Libby Palmatier in New York. Elizabeth died four years later after giving birth to two children: Eliza Eleanor Pulver and Julia Pulver. Researchers could not find any information on Elizabeth's death or Julia (named after William's mother) and suspect that Elizabeth may have died giving birth or from birthing complications. After Elizabeth's death, William Pulver accompanied his father-in-law, Anson J. Palmatier, who followed the tide of western emigration, out to Maywood, Nebraska.And then in 1890, William moved to North Platte where he worked as a carpenter and contractor. On October 18, 1892, he married Emma Freeman Cooper in North Platte. Emma and William did not have any children together. In 1902, William Pulver died in Greeley Colorado. This left Emma to raise her children and William's daughter. Ever since Lincoln County was organized, the county tried to care for the poor people in its general population. The lodges and churches were benevolent towards the poor of the community. For many years, a poor farm was maintained. Unfortunately, said caretakers received very minimal compensation for caring for the poor. According to Lincoln County records, in July 1899, the county commissioners made a contract with Mrs. Emma D. Pulver for keeping the poor of the County at the following rates: • Resident paupers who were not sick or injured, fifty cents a day; • Regular paupers, sick or injured, who required medical treatment and nursing, $1.00 per day if staying less than one week or five dollars per week or over for others; • Transient paupers twenty cents a meal and twenty-five cents for lodgings; If nursing was required she was to have $2.00 per day and night or $1.00 per day. All bedding necessary to be destroyed was to be paid for by the County. During World War I (1914-1918), provisions and rents increased, so Emma was allowed a small increase in her charges, but not in proportion to the increased cost of provisions. All persons under Emma's care called her "Mother." Emma ran the Lincoln County Poor Farm until 1929. Emma died at age 73 in her home located at 516 East 5th Street on January 23, 1930. by The North Platte Library Staff - June 12,2012
