CLARK C. COOPER

Clark C. COOPER came to Harrison County in the spring of 1887, and rented the farm which he now owns, the same being in Union Township. He paid $1,350 for eighty acres, which was all broken and fenced. Among the improvements he has placed on the farm is a one-story house, 14x28 feet, a barn, 18x30 feet and fourteen feet high.

Our subject was born in Rock County, Wis., in 1858 and moved to Illinois, when a small boy. He remained with his parents until he was of age, and farmed land for his mother, in Illinois one year, and then came to Pottawattamie County, Iowa, where he farmed three years and then moved to Harrison County.

Our subject's father was Edward COOPER, and the mother, Jane (DODGE) COOPER, who reared a family of eight children, of whom our subject was the sixth. The family was as follows -- Fannie, John, George, Charles, Eugene, Clark C., Frank and Minnie. The parents were natives of New York State.

Politically, Mr. Cooper is identified with the Republican party.

He has seen his share of hardships and adversity, but by being possessed of temperate habits, and practising self-denial, coupled with a goodly amount of industry, he has built for himself a good home. At the present time he is a single man.
