To J.C. Cooper:, I have already thought of that. My family has always been told Charlie Cooper's mother and father& small brother all died from flu?? and John DeHart found him wandering streets. However another story was told by John D. that boys father, A.. Cooper couldnt take care of him (too Poor) and left him sent mail several times, However adoption papers with a (witness) states that (John& witness )say boys mother and father both dead. Not so. too many whats? But thanks for suggestions anyway. We will keep on till we find out the truth, Sandy DeHart Shawnee, Ok.

Sandy, Have you been able to find out anything about who the witness was? (relationship? neighbor? some involvement.) That might give you a clue. Also, I remember there was quite a bit of activity in respect to Coopers in Izard Co., AR several years back. Did you find anything in the archives that might tie in? Good luck. I know how frustrating it can get at times. Nancy Bray Cooper miminbc@sprynet.com Xx2sjd@aol.com wrote: > > To J.C. Cooper:, I have already thought of that.
