My great-grandfather was Monsieur Cooper.(10/10/1874 - 5/17/1948) son of Timothy W. Cooper
(1/17/1834 - 4/4/1905)and Virginia H. Beasley (4/21/1837 - 8/7/1905). My great-grandmother
was Pearl Mary Apple (9/16/1881 - 1/29/1907), daughter of Robert Gaines Apple and Ada

Mound until she was an older teenager, when she moved to Sumner County, Tennessee.
