Eddy was the son of Fredrick A. and Matilda "Tilley" nee SEYLER COOLEY. You will find posted below, his death notice and obituary. It is not clear what exactly the cause of death was, other than Eddy suffered severely for a month and "...all are acquainted with the details." Eddy was John Edward COOLEY who was interred in the Yorktown/Fairfield cemetery. Les Niemi From the pages of the Tampico Tornado: October 3, 1896 FROM YORKTOWN Little Eddy, only child of Fred and Tillie COOLEY, passed away last Monday afternoon after a month of severe suffering. The funeral took place at the Christian church Tuesday at two p.m. The church was full although it rained nearly all day. October 3, 1896 Obituary Eddie COOLEY, son of Fred and Tilley COOLEY, was born March 17, 1894, died Sept. 28, 1896, at about four in the evening, aged 2 years, 6 mo. and 11 days. Eddie was an unusually bright little boy, the only child of his parents. Of his sickness we need not say anything as all are acquainted with the details. Last Edited by LesN on Sep 11, 2006 5:47 AM
