BAILEY CEMETERY, MT JOY, MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE

Cooper, Oatie, 22 Dec 1884 - 29 Dec 1884 "Son M. E. & E. J. Cooper", Oatie Cooper was the son of Martin McClain Cooper & Eliza Jane "Dink" Beckum Cooper. The dates are correct. Other publications say, "Son M. & E. J. Cooper" As Mr. Hawkins stated the stone is broken. The death date is no longer visible. I am using Mr. Hawkins death date which I have also found in a Cooper family book. Mr. Hawkins may have found part of the stone with death date, or taken the date from "They Passed This Way".
