He died 12/7/1971 in Hurricane, WV. He was my great-grandfather. Of their several children, Flora Ellen Rooper Cooper was my grandmother. Papaw Dewey and Mamaw Doris Mae, lived on Strawberry Rd, along the Coal River, in Kanawha County, WV, near my grandmother. Flora married Alonzo Frank Cooper, who went by the nickname Bootie and they had two children, Willard and Anna, my mother. Willard, who went by Chuck had no children, but adopted a son, Jeffrey. Anna Cooper married Earl Talley Stinnett, my dad, (the son of Edwin Talley and Elizabeth Stinnett) and they had four children, Vickie Lynn Stinnett Sicilia, Wayne Edwin Stinnett (myself), Michael Lee Stinnett and Frank Eric Stinnett. Dewey, Doris Mae, Flora, Alonzo, Chuck, Anna and Earl have all passed away. Only the four children of Anna and Earl survive this line, with their children. Dewey had several brothers and sisters and he and Doris Mae had several other children besides Flora. I know one at least still lives, Beatrice Rooper Washington, in Newark, NJ.
