      EDWIN S. COOPER, M. D.,
  
  [p. 415] a physician and surgeon of high standing at New Castle, who was
  formerly associated in practice with his brother, the late distinguished
  Dr. Joseph L. Cooper, belongs to an old Pennsylvania family which was
  established in this state by his great-grandfather, Robert Cooper, who
  was born in County Down, Ireland. Edwin S. Cooper was born in Taylor
  Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, January 3, 1872, and is a son
  of Robert and Nancy A. (Jackson) Cooper.
  
  The Cooper family was founded in Lawrence County in 1843, by James
  Cooper, the grandfather of Dr. Cooper. He married Elizabeth McLester and
  they reared seven children, Robert Cooper being the second son of the
  family. Robert Cooper was born in 1823, in Allegheny County,
  Pennsylvania, and he became the owner of the many acres of the valuable
  limestone land which has made the Cooper family of this section one of
  substance. Robert Cooper married Nancy A. Jackson and they had the
  following children: James H., Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, Leander, Joseph
  L., Charles O., Mrs. Mary Colwell, Mrs. Maud Davis and Edwin S.
  
  When Edwin S. Cooper was fourteen years of age, his parents moved to New
  Castle, and from the schools of this city he entered Grove City College,
  where he continued his studies until the spring of 1892, when,
  encouraged by his older brother, the late Dr. Joseph L. Cooper, he
  decided to bend all his energies to the study of medicine for which he
  had had a taste boyhood. Under the careful tuition of the late Dr.
  Cooper, he prepared for the Western Pennsylvania Medical College, where
  he was most creditably graduated March 25, 1896. He then entered into
  partnership with his brother and the firm became a leading one of the
  county. Since the lamented death of the older physician, Dr. Edwin S.
  Cooper has continued alone in practice and has won an enviable position
  in his profession. He is identified with all of the medical
  organizations of the county and the leading ones of the state, and also
  has numerous fraternal and social connections. His residence and office
  are located at No. 74 North Mill Street, New Castle.
