OBITUARY:
1. Per the newspaper "The Winters Express," Sat., Nov. 3, 1888, p. 1:
"Ida Mae Cooper, age 22-1-27.
On last Sunday evening the wife of George D. Cooper died at the family residence north of Winters. She was but little over 22 years of age and had been married but about two years. She was the granddaughter of our townsman, M. Baldwin. She leaves a father, two brothers and a sister, and to her husband's care, she leaves a little babe.
Mrs. Cooper had been a consistent member of the Baptist church for the last three years of her life and in that faith she died. We extend our sympathy to the relatives and especially to the young husband thus early bereaved."

2. Per photos of tombstone inscriptions provided to me by Rea Jenkins 19 Jan 2011:
-"Eula D. Cooper, Jan. 26, 1875 - Feb. 7, 1959."
-"John F. Baker, Died Feb. 28, 1890, aged 49 yrs. 7 mos. 8 ds. Native of Mass. Susan Jane, wife of J.F. Baker, died Feb. 14, 1903, aged 55 yrs., 11 mos. 8 days. Native of Illinois. At Rest." [Tombstone clearly gives John's death as 28 Feb, which then makes his birth date 20 Jul 1840, both of which are at variance to what dates I have been using.]
