Eli A Cooper Lewis Co KY> Clay Co IN 1861>1911
Eli A. Cooper is buried at Stunkard Cemetery, Dick Johnson Township, Clay County, Indiana. The gravestone is located along the northwest fence, left side when you enter the cemetery, about half way down the hill. The marker reads; Eli Cooper, October 25, 1861, August 9, 1911, aged 49 years, 2 months, and 16 days. (There must be an error in the dates.) If it is true that he was aged 49 years, 2 months, and 16 days at the time of his death then he would have been born on August 9, 1861 and died October 25, 1911. Eli A. Cooper was born near Vanceburg, Lewis County, Kentucky, son of Edward L. and Elizabeth Bryant Cooper.
