JAMES COOPER-Was born in Franklin county, Virginia, July 2, 1824. When he was three years of age his parents
moved to Hendricks county, Indiana, where they remained until 1841, when they took up their residence in Platt
country, Missouri, where our subject was married to Miss Scena A. Evans and resided until spring of 1852. He then,
with his wife and one child, started to cross the plains to Oregon. After a trip of six months they arrived in
Clackamas county, where they sojourned for one season. Hem then moved to the Waldo hills, Marion county. In the
summer of 1854 he came to Benton county, locating a claim in King's Valley, on which he lived for four years. His
next move was to the vicinity of Philomath. In 1866 Mr. Cooper purchased the farm on which he now resides which
certainly is one of the most beautiful farms to be found in Benton county, consisting of 320 acres, two and one
half miles west of Corvallis, on which he has erected a nice farm residence, a view of which appears in this book.
Mr. Cooper has a family of five children: Thomas H., Francis M., George W., Robert E. and Mary F.
