Charles L. Cooley
Charles L. Cooley was born in Livingstone Co., Ill. on June 25, 1869, and passed away at his home in Rochester, Cedar Co., Iowa, March 31, 1928, at the age of 58 years, 9 months and 6 days. The year after his birth, the family moved to the village of Rochester, where practically all of his life has been spent. In the year 1900, he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Gritton, who preceded him in death in the year 1913.
Although he was not a member of any church, nor affiliated with any of the fraternal orders, he was a man of positive convictions. He was a firm believer in the power and efficacy of prayer as being more essential than medicinal service, and accepted some of the plain teachings of the Word of God as the fixed rule of his life.
About four years ago, he was injured by a fall on the cement walk, from which he never fully recovered. On the evening of March 30, he had a stroke of apoplexy, and suffered greatly as a result, frequently lapsing into unconsciousness. When conscious, he was unable to make any audible utterance. On the following evening, just as the sun was setting in the western horizon, his spirit left its tenement of human clay and returned to God who gave it.
He leaves to mourn his departure from this life, his two brothers, Henry Edward Cooley of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Byron A. of Rochester. Funeral services were held in the Rochester church on Monday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. M. L. Hill of Bennett, after which the remains were interred in the Rochester Cemetery to await the call of the Resurrection Morn.
