COOLEY. Robert S. Cooley, a prominent attorney of Yankton, who since 1891 has practiced his profession here, was born in Friendship Mill, Maryland, June 17, 1863. He is a son of Robert and Margaret (Shermer) Cooley, in whose family were nine children, of whom our subject is the fifth in order of birth. The father was likewise a native of Maryland and there spent much of his life but later removed to Nebraska. Robert S. Cooley acquired his early education in the public schools of his native state and after his arrival in South Dakota continued his studies in the public schools here and later completed the high-school course. Deciding upon the profession of law, he entered Yankton College for a preliminary course and worked his way through this institution by acting as general utility man. He was of a studious nature and worked hard to complete his college course, to the end that in 1889 he graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree. Following his graduation, he read law in the office of Judge R.B. Trip and in 1891 was admitted to practice at the South Dakota bar. He has remained in active practice to the present time but on account of ill health he has for the past few years confined his attention mainly to office practice. He ever has at heart the best interests of his clients and has thereby won the confidence of all with whom he has business relations. Mr. Cooley was married on the 17th of December, 1904, to Miss Nell Boyle, who was born in Ohio and there reared to the age of fifteen years, when she came to South Dakota and has here since resided. Where national issues are involved Mr. Cooley gives stalwart support to the democratic party but at local elections votes independently. He was at one time appointed to the office of deputy county clerk and in this connection discharged his duties faithfully and well. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Episcopal church. Throughout his residence in Yankton, he has ever enjoyed in the highest degree the respect and confidence of his fellow men and his worth as a man and a citizen as well as a lawyer is widely acknowledged.
