Individual:
Dr. Cooper only was married to Ellen Thomas Woodson for a few years. He moved with her to Colorado Springs in 1909 because she had tuberculosis. A check of the City Directory of the years 1909-1915 does not show that he practiced dentistry in that town. No one knows what happened to him after he and Ellen Thomas Cooper were divorced, although it is said he died an early death.

I received information today (10/24/2000) that Francis Minor Cooper attended the University of Maryland where he got his degree in dentistry. There is a picture of him, in Marshall, Missouri, standing in front of Cooper and Adams Drugs.

Dear Ms. Martin,
I have been able successfully to verify your great-grandfather's
attendance here. He graduated from the University of Maryland
Dental Department as a member of the class of 1902. It was a
three-year program at that time, so his years of tenure were: 1899-
1900 (Freshman class), 1900-01 (Junior class), and 1901-02
(Senior class).
I am attaching to this message a jpeg scanned image, which was his
portrait from the 1902 yearbook. You will notice a number "12" at
the bottom in the portrait -- the following pages in the yearbook
include a roster of all members, cross-indexed by their portrait
number. The portrait appears on the page which featured the class
officers -- in his Senior year, he held the rank of class prophet. As a
Junior the year before, he held the office of class historian. The
yearbooks include the sections which he wrote in fulfillement of his
duties in those offices. I would be willing to send you printed
photocopies of those segments, if you are interested. If so, please
provide a regular mailing address, and I can send them out to you,
along with all details pertaining to the modest charge involved
(expect it to be under $10, depending on exact no. of pages). At this
point, the scanned image is yours with my compliments.
Hope this helps for starters; let me know if you'd like the additional
paper copies.

From a newspaper article I found in a scrapbook belong to Ellen T Woodson
Marshall, MO Abt 1902
A vicious dog, belonging to the family living on the Gleason farm, south of the Catholic Cemetery, almost caused a serious accident Friday night, and was the cause of a valuable horse being killed. Minor Cooper, of Marshall, and Miss Eleanor Rea, of this city, were out driving Friday evening, coming south along the road in front of the Gleason place. They saw a dog lying in the road and drove around him. A second after passing the dog he jumped up and ran under the horse, barking and snapping at the horse's heels. Of course the horse was badly frightened, shied out to the side of the road and attempted to run away. Mr. Cooper quickly drew in on the lines and the horse fell against the embankment at the side of the road. He and Miss Rea alighted from the buggy without the slightest injury. The horse was taken from the buggy , and it was then discovered that he was seriously injured. Dr. Riggs was called out, but the animal died within an hour. Dr. Riggs says the horse suffered an internal injury, but is undecided whether it was a ruptured blood vessel or something else. It was a valuable horse, Mr. Cooper refusing a fancy price for him only Friday, yet he feels that he was fortunate in that Miss Rea and himself were not injured in the least. This same dog had been in the habit of running after horses, barking and snapping and it is a wonder more serious accidents had not occured before.

Cemetary Marker lists him as Frank Minor Cooper
History of Saline Co. Missouri, 1881
page 144 - 145.
There is a historical account of "The Settlement on Cox's Bottom."
"Above the "Arrow Rock," as it was then spoken of, and opposite from Cooper's fort, in Howard county, on the north side of the river was, in the early part of the present century, a considerable expanse of fine bottom land, covered with a heavy growth of timber and abounding in game, which was called Cox's bottom."
there is a record of people that moved in and settled the area.
the reference to Frank Cooper is as follows.
"It seems that no attempt was made to settle the bottom until after the war [the war of 1812 ?], besides that of Cox and Gregg, ave by William and Frank Cooper, who were cousins, and who crossed in the year 1813, and made "clearing" near Cox and Gregg.
Sorry it has taken so long to respond, I have to many irons in the fire!

Beautiful Home Wedding
Dr. F. M. Cooper and Miss Ellen Woodson Take the Marriage Vows Mid a Bower of Sweet Peas and Ferns
Their Friends Give Them a Great Send Off
H.G. Allen's elegant home 224 East Arrow was the scene Wednesday, June 28, of one of the most beautiful weddings ever witnessed in our city, Dr. F. M. Cooper and Miss Ellen Thomas Woodson, the high contracting parties. It was a sweet pea wedding and the rooms were abloom with this ever popular blossom in every shade imaginable.
after this the article is unreadable
then...
minister read some verses that had been left on the veranda of the Allen home Wednesday a short time before the wedding with a box of white sweet peas. The little poem, which appears below had the earmarks of a much loved and revered friend, Dr. L. P. Bowen and as evidence of their appreciation, the happy couple request that it be read by Mr. Wharton.
After this the article continues to be unreadable
The poem:
May flowers bloom along her path
Each coming year diviner
While all her genial, gentle smiles
Illume the blessful Minor!
May angels guard her all the way
Own'd by the Great Designer
While Ellen T. the Woodson drops
And blooms as Mrs. Minor!
They were divorced soon after they arrived in Colorado Springs in 1909 from Marshall, MO.
The following is a copy of the complaint filed by Ellen Woodson Cooper against F. M Cooper taken from the Archives for the State of Colorado, 11/20/2000
THE COUNTY COURT
And now comes the above-named plaintiff and for her cause of action herin, alleges:
I.
That the amount of alimony involved in this suit does not exceed the sum of Two Thousand Dollars
II.
That plaintiff and defendant intermarried at the city of Marshall, in the County of Saline, in the State of Missouri, on or about the 24th day of June, A. D. 1906, and ever since then they have been, and now are, wife and husband.
III.
That plaintiff is a bona fide citizen and resident of the County of El Paso and in the State of Colorado and has resided in said County and State for more than one year immediately preceding the commmencement of this suit.
IV.
That as the issue of the marriage between plaintiff and defendant there have been born two children to-wit: Irone Gore Cooper and Allene Woodson Cooper, girls aged respectively six years and four years.
V.
That since said marriage the defendant has been guilty of extreme and repeated acts of cruelty toward plaintiff which repeated acts of cruelty have caused this plaintiff great mental pain and suffering and have injured plaintiff's health and rendered further co-habitation with the defendant unbearrable to the plaintiff; that the aforesaid actos of cruelty consist chiefly in complaints made by the defendant against the plaintiff because of expenditures made for family expenses; that said defendant has so persistently checked and nagged this plaintiff has thereby estranged from the defendant and has thereby been made to feel discontent and out of harmony with her husband; that the plaintiff specifies herein on a few of the numerous instances whereby she has been made to worry and suffer deeply because this defendant complained about the plaintiff's expenses; that immediately after marriage plaintiff and defendant went fro Marshall, Missouri, to Colorado, on a wedding trip, and they spent about six weeks in Colorado, where they were required to pay liberally for board and other expenses; thereafter the defendant complained to the plaintiff regrefully that he should have waste so much money in that way. That the defendant on or about January 28, 1913, told this plaintiff that the condition of her health did not require her to live in Colorado Springs and that was only a pretext for wishing to stay here, and that defendant meant to return to Missouri, and if she did not return, he would sue her for a divorce; that the foregoing are some of the cruelties of which plaintiff complains against the defendant and which have rendered her married life with the defendant intolerable and for which reason and none other she now lives separate and apart from the defendant.
WHEREFORE Plaintiff prays judgement against the defendant herein as follows:
1- For a dissolution of the marriage bonds heretofore and now existing between plaintiff and defendant, and that plaintiff be decreed a divorce.
2- For costs of suit.
3- For such other and further relief as the the Court seems meet and proper.
