| Notes for Calvin Cecil COOPER | ||||||||||
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cecil Calvin Cooper was the youngest, born on the prairie and thirteen when the family returned to Ironton, so he had a broad, developing Nebraska childhood. He knew grain. He went to Lyons with his parents and began working for his older brother Charles, becoming an engineer and elevator manager. Here he married Grace Ellen Leith about 1898 and born to them were Charles, Harrison and Georgia Faye. We see their births were in Lyons, McPherson and Wichita, so the family may have been wandering during these years. Cecil was at one time a traffic manager and worked for Cudahy Packing. He seems to have separated from his wife though she also went to southern California. Records say Cecil built a two bedroom house on the "Cooper Ranch" in Riverside after 1928. His Brother John appears to have joined him there early on, and the two were said to have been quite "independent." Later, brother Sam came too. Cecil is known to have visited sister Libbie in 1892 and 1948, probably other times as well.
