COOPER was born April 24, 1859, departed this life December 7, (1925) aged 66 years, 8 days; was married to SARAH ALICE BROWN December 2, 1877; to this union 11 children and a number of grandchildren.  Later he married Mrs. BESSIE HORNER March 21, 1918, to this union 4 children and 4 stepchildren.  Whereas, God in His wisdom and providence saw fit to take from our midst our beloved Brother COOPER who has been so faithful a worker in our church and one whom we all loved for his Christian life in our church and community.  He loved his pastor, Rev. Will Zaricor.  He would talk so much of his good pastor.  He loved him dearly.  May his mantle fall on his children that they may be true as he was to the cause of Christ.  Since the Angels took my father life has been sad and lonely, but I am trusting in the God he loved and some day I will meet him again.  (At this point a poem is inserted, and then this paragraph follows:)
    Dear children I pray that the hand that led your dear father will lead each and every one of you to the beautiful gate and may father be first to meet you, and may you hear that welcome applause, enter into my joy, sit on my throne.  This by one that knew Mr. COOPER  well.  He loved his neighbors, his church, his friends.  May God bless every child he has.

Jacob S. Loucks
Active in Mennonite Church
Laid out that part of town Which Lies South of Pittsburgh Street and Played
a Prominent Part in the Upbuilding of the Busy Community.
Special to the Courier
Scottdale, December 21.   Jacob S. Loucks, a pioneer resident of Scottdale
and one of its foremost citizens, died at 8 o'clock this morning at his
home, 115 Walnut street, following a lingering illness.  A fall which he
suffered some three weeks ago was a contributing cause.  Mr. Loucks had been
in failing health for some months past.
     During an active life, Mr. Loucks was largely instrumental in making
Scottdale the busy community it is.  He was also an active member of the
Mennonite Church, and it was largely through his efforts that the Mennonite
Publishing House, which through the medium of 17 weekly publications carries
the gospel of the creed to all parts of the world, was brought to Scottdale.
He took an active part in the affairs of the local congregation and
contributed generously toward the construction of its church.
      Mr. Loucks was interested in the company which erected the Old Meadow
rolling mill, now owned by the American Sheet & Tin Plate Company, as well
as in other prosperous enterprises.  He was for a number of years associated
with Albert Keister in the flour and feed business.  For years he has been a
director of the First National Bank.
     He was born on the old Loucks homestead in East Huntington township on
October 20, 1829.  The Loucks family was among was among the earliest to
locate in that neighborhood.  His early days were spent on the farm and his
education gained in the rural schools.  His early life was that of a farmer.
He was not only a good farmer, but a good business man, and accumulated
considerable property.  He was generally regarded as one of Scottdale's
wealthiest residents, but this fact did not prevent him from being held in
the highest esteem by his neighbors and friends.
    "He was a mighty fine old man." Was the tribute paid by an acquaintance,
when told of his death.
Mr. Loucks lived in the old homestead which occupied a large tract of land
along Broadway, just south of the general offices of the H. C. Frick Coke
Company.  In addition to his home he owned many other properties in and
around Scottdale.
      The funeral will be held from the Mennonite Church on Market Street at
1:30 Sunday afternoon, with interment in the Alverton cemetery.
      Mr. Loucks' wife died several years ago.  He is survived by the
following children:  David S., Joseph R., John R., Aaron, Abraham R., George
S., Martin R. Loucks, Mrs. A.. D. Martin of Greencastle, Pa.., and Mrs. C.
A. Brilhart of Scottdale.  He is also survived by two brothers, M. S., and
A. S. Loucks, and a sister, Miss Annie Loucks, all of Scottdale.
