Biography
(Robert) George Cooper was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, England in 1881, son of Alfred Grimsdale Cooper and (Margaret) Annie Walker. They moved to Canada in 1883. In 1907 he lived in Bloomfield, Hallowell Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario. He married Gertrude Beith (née Peterson) in the Methodist parsonage in Wellington, Prince Edward County, in 1907. They farmed in Bloomfield, where they had five children. In 1923 they were in Picton, Prince Edward County, where a sixth child was born. He died in the Picton hospital in 1969 and was buried in the Universalist Cemetery, Bloomfield.
Footnote
Mr. Cooper's name is given as Robert George Cooper, George Robert Cooper, and George Nelson Cooper. Entries such as "R. George Cooper" in 1909 make clear that it was Robert George, but he used George.
