| JOHN W. COOPER, a representative of
that class of men known as agriculturists whose energy,
uprightness and progressive spirit make them valuable citizen of
whatever community they cast their lot with, is a native of
Pineville, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, born May 18, 1880, a son
of Stephen K. and Ellen (TWINING) COOPER.
John W. COOPER was reared in his native village and acquired a practical education in the John M. George school of Newtown township and at Pierce's -Business College, graduating from the latter institution in 1899. Shortly afterward he came to Wrightstown township and assumed charge of the old home farm which for many years, was the home of his grandfather. Liking the occupation and being perfectly familiar with it, it was natural that he should select it for his life calling when the time came for him to act independently, and by his progressive methods and efficient management he has achieved a large degree of prosperity. Mr. COOPER was reared in the Friends' Meeting, but is not a member of any religious body. He is a Republican in politics. Mr. COOPER married, October 15, 1902, Anna B. FISH, daughter of John T. FISH, of Falls township, ex-registrar of wills, and a prominent retired business man. They are the parents of one child. Theresa Ellen born October 30, 1903.
