<DIV><STRONG>Hi David</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Thanks for the response. I don't have any more information than what i wrote on where the grave might be. It would be nice if this were Gr Uncle James near the rose bushes but the lady only said it was in a pasture. No other info. </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Will really appreciate it if you find the information you have and let me know further.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Again, thanks</STRONG></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT face=Arial>I have photo of this one soldier. It is right off the railroad tracks. The <BR>gravesite is marked by yellow roses when the rose bushes around this one is in <BR>bloom. I will have to check folders to find that one particular marker. A <BR>railroad worker found it and took photo of it 2 years ago, sent it to me and <BR>told me how to locate it, along with the photo. That yellow rose bush bloom in <BR>June, that type that bloom profusely and en-masse.<BR><BR>There are quite a number of graves between Baker City and Ontario for which <BR>there is information but not located.<BR><BR>David Samuelsen<BR><BR>CARROLLOUC@aol.com wrote:<BR>> Is there someone that would be interested in attempting to locate a <BR>> grave, possibly two, in a pasture on Gale Rd. near Weatherby Wayside, <BR>> Baker Co., Oregon. It has just come to light that there is a grave in <BR>> the pasture and has the name of, apparently, a military man named <BR>> Cooper. The informant didn't remember what else was on the stone. If <BR>> this man is James FJ Cooper he was with the 2nd Colorado Calvary in the <BR>> Civil war and probably died between 1895 & 1898 and my great <BR>> grandfathers brother. It is possible there may be another grave there <BR>> also. His mother, Sophia Cooper died in 1893 and is probably buried on <BR>> the land which she owned at the time, 160 acres near Weatherby. There is <BR>> also a Cooper Pond nearby. My great grandfather H.D. Cooper owned the <BR>> land after his mother died and sold it in 1901 to a Mr. Ferney.<BR>> <BR>> The current owner lives in Idaho and would have to give permission to go <BR>> into the pasture but I think he would likely give it. There is a locked <BR>> gate..<BR>> <BR>> We would like to have a photo taken of the grave and a rubbing. If there <BR>> is someplace to register old, private graves like this that would be a <BR>> good idea as well.<BR>> <BR>> I would gladly do some research in Jackson Co. Or and my sister would <BR>> research Clark Co., WA, if such research might be needed by anyone doing <BR>> this search for us.<BR>> <BR>> Thank you in advance<BR>> <BR>> Carroll Cooper Summers<BR>> Medford, OR<BR>> <BR>> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
