You are very fortunate that your grandfather was a historian and kept a good 
deal of documentation. My grandfather Cooper also came to Oregon about 1874 at 
two years of age. The family was in Jackson Co. in the 1880 census where 
grandpa told tales of he and his father panning for gold. They moved on the Baker 
Co. about 1883 where, as he grew into his teens he worked as a cowboy, sought 
gold, farmed and deliver milk in Baker City. After my dad and a sister were 
born in Baker City the family moved on to Portland. Many stories were told by 
grandpa. And much research for documentation has been done - wish he had kept 
more of such importnat documents.

You are very lucky to have those from your grandfather.
