J. Cooper, in Lewis township, south of this city. He was 85 years old and death was attributed to old age, but grief over the loss of his wife undoubtedly hastened his end.

Donley, Washington, and William B. Porter, jr., Plattsmouth." The deceased was an old-time member of Plattsmouth Lodge No. 6 A. F. and A. M.
