Bio

s/o Warren Stapleton and Mary Margaret (Baca) Cooper. Died while serving in the United States Navy. Thank you to Frank Everett for the following obit: Obit for John Cooper Young Sailor Boy Claimed by Death One of our splendid youths serving in the United States Navy at San Diego. California, was claimed by death the first of the week. We refer to young John Glenn Cooper, 25 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Cooper, respected residents of the Oak Grove community a few miles southeast of Weimar. Glenn joined the navy about three months ago and was sent to San Diego for training. He was a fine specimen of humanity, and passed all physical examinations with a 100 per cent mark. However, from later developments, there must have been a serious trouble not dreamed of by those with whom he came in contact. It developed that he was afflicted with a leaky heart, as it is called, and this brought about his death about three months alter his enlistment. His father received word from the navy authorities the past week end that Glenn was in serious condition in the hospital. Other telegrams indicated his condition was rapidly growing worse, and a still later message Tuesday reported his death. A telegram received Wednesday morning said his body was shipped home by express Tuesday evening and should reach Weimar Thursday evening at 6:30. On arrival here the body will be taken to the family home in the Oak Grove community, and the funeral will take place Saturday afternoon at 2:30, with interment in the Miller Creek Cemetery. Friends of the family throughout this section are respectfully invited to attend the funeral. Glenn Cooper was a fine young man and stood very high among those who knew him. Of athletic build, genial temperament, energetic, upright habits, he was a general favorite among a large circle of friends. He Is survived by his parents and two brothers, Gerald of San Antonio and Harvey, at home, we understand. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his bereaved ones. Weimar Mercury, May 31, 1935, page 1
