    3. Searching for information on Henry S Cooper. He was born 1 Jan 1842 and died 30 June 1917. Burial was 1 July. (no funeral?) According to his death certificate he was poisoned by Strychnine, a homicide. A.L. Blair signed the death certificate. I am searching an obituary, any newspaper articles related to this incident, any coroner's reports, any trial information for the person that commited the murder. It seems to me that if the physician knew it was a homicide and it was strychnine, they must have known who did it to have that information. The death certificate reports his father's name as Fle K. Cooper, or even possibly Fleck Cooper, it's not clear to me which it might be. Mother's name is unknown. Roll Coffee is listed as undertaker (although I don't think that was his profession) Regarding his father's name I think it may have been Fielding based on some census information I found on the Internet. I'm going to search actual census records to try and make a connection there. He was also a Civil War veteran serving in what was first Company F 24th Kentucky Infantry, then became known as Company K 6th Kentucky Cavalry. He enlisted 20 Nov 1863 and discharged 6 Sept 1865. Will take any little piece of information I can get. Am willing to pay for some research, copies and postage. Thanking you in advance.
