Surviving R. M. Cooper are two sisters and two brothers, Mrs.
Frederick (Louise M) Jennings, Buffalo, Mrs. Oscar (Polly) Dillman, Springfield,
Mass, Rana S. Cooper, Binghamton, and Samuel A. Cooper, Rochester.
Found
seriously ill in his office in the Woolworth building by friends, Mr. Cooper was
removed to the hospital at 4:35 Friday afternoon and was placed in an oxygen
tent, but he failed to rally. He had not been well for about three
months.
His brother, Rana Cooper of Binghamton, who had been summoned to
Watertown by Mr. Cooper�s critical illness, arrived in this city about noon
Saturday, but reached the hospital after his brother died.
Sidney B.
Cooper was born Aug 8, 1886, in Theresa, one of eleven children of the late
Capt. Jerome and Emma Farr Cooper. He spent his early days at Theresa and
attended school there until he was 13 years old, at which time he and his
parents moved to Syracuse.
In Syracuse, he continued his education in the
Central High school and after his graduation from high school, he attended the
Travis Preparatory school of that city. For three years after that he studied
law in the Watertown law offices of his brother, the late Jerome B. Cooper, who
later was district attorney of Jefferson county.
Subsequently, he
attended Albany Law school in Albany, being graduated from the law school in
1915. For a year after that he was connected with the wall paper stores of his
brothers at Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford, Conn.
In 1917, he was
admitted to the bar of New York state, associating himself with his brother,
Jerome, in the practice of law. Jerome Cooper died in December, 1938, in Grand
Rapids, Mich., where he lived after leaving Watertown. District attorney of
Jefferson county from Jan. 1, 1917 to Dec. 7, 1920, he was a widely known lawyer
of this section and once a Republican candidate for the nomination of supreme
court justice in the fifth judicial district.
Attorney Sidney Cooper left
his law practice temporarily during World War I to enter the army for service in
the war. After the United States entered the war in 1917, he went to the
officer�s training camp at Fort Niagara and there was commissioned a second
lieutenant of infantry. He served first at Camp Travis, Tex., next at Camp
Lewis, Wash., and finally at Camp Gordon, Ga. He was assigned to duty during the
war as officer on troop trains transporting men to the Atlantic ports to be sent
overseas.
After 23 months of service, he was released from active duty in
the army and returned to Watertown in December, 1918, resuming the practice of
law with his brother Jerome B Cooper, who at the time held the office of
district attorney. In January, 1919 the two brothers formed the law firm of
Cooper & Cooper with offices in the Otis building, now known as the Unity
building, Jerome being the senior member and Sidney, the junior
member.
At the time, the work of the coroners in the different quarters
of Jefferson county was under the control of the district attorney, and so heavy
was the bulk of the duties that District Attorney Cooper appointed his brother,
Sidney, to assist him. With the advent of prohibition, the duties of the
district attorney�s offices were further increased and Attorney Cooper was
called upon to shoulder part of the work assigned to his brother.
In
1920, a few months before his brother resigned as district attorney, Attorney
Cooper gave up his law practice and entered, the extensive wall paper business
of the Cooper brothers, taking over the management of the Watertown store, which
was located at 126 Franklin street.
All six Cooper brothers- George W,
Emmett A, Samuel A., Rana S., Sidney B. and Jerome B.- were identified with the
Cooper Wall Paper Stores Inc., which had its modest beginning in 1910 and which
later was reputed to be the largest concern retailing wall paper in the United
States.
The extensive chain of wall paper stores was established after
one of the brothers, George W., conceived the idea of selling all grades of wall
paper at five and ten cents a roll. Stores were opened in various communities of
New York state. The enterprise prospered and stores were subsequently opened in
the various cities of the mid-west and in various other sections of the country.
For a time the business was known as the Star Wall Paper Stores, Inc. It was to
devote himself to the wall paper business that Jerome Cooper also left the law
profession in 1920.
For more than 17 years after retiring from the
practice of law, Attorney Sidney Cooper devoted his entire attention to the
management of the Franklin street wall paper business.
Nearly ten years
ago, however, he resumed the practice of law, after discontinuing his Franklin
street store and retiring from the wallpaper business. He began practice again
Jan. 7, 1938, when he became associated with former District Attorney Melvin F.
Kinkley in the Unity building and he made his first appearance in court Jan. 8,
1938, after a long absence from his profession.
In April, 1939, Mr.
Cooper severed his association with Attorney Kinkley and opened an office at 547
Woolworth building. He had since been practicing by himself, trying both civil
and criminal cases.
Two years ago Mr. Cooper was a candidate for the
Republican nomination for city judge of Watertown. The nomination was won by
Judge James Y. LaRue.
Mr. Cooper married the former Mrs. Florence
Hamilton Farr of this city Oct 13, 1922 in Herkimer. The married ended in a
Reno, Nev., divorce in 1933.
For years Mr. Cooper was prominent in the
Masonic fraternity. He formerly belonged to Watertown Lodge No 49, F & A M,
Watertown Chapter, No. 59, RAM, of which chapter he was high priest in 1925.
Watertown Commandery, No. 11, KT, and Media Temple, AAONMS. At one time he was
chief floor director of the local temple of the Shrine. He had attended Shrine
conventions in various parts of the country, including Denver, Colo. Shreveport,
La., and Miami, Fla.
He was once an active member of the Watertown Golf
club, serving on important committees of the club. He was a member of the
Lincoln league and was its president in 1944 and 1945 and held membership also
in Watertown lodge of Elks and the�(incomplete)
