OBITUARY ---------------

MRS. MiNNIE LOUISE COOLEY

Redwood City Democrat

August 25, 1898

Grim death has again visited our community. Friday evening, Mis. Minnie Louise Cooley, beloved wife of William Cooley, died suddenly at her home of heart disease.

The deceased had a large circle of friends, besides a husband and three children - two boys and a girl who will miss her sorely. The funeral took place Tuesday from Presbyterian Church. Dr. Scott of San Francisco delivered an eloquent tribute to her.

Her father and mother led the funeral cortege into the church. The mourner’s pew and the bier were smothered in the rarest flowers. The sympathy of the village goes to the stricken family and particularly to the mother of Mrs. Cooley, who feels the loss keenly.

The interment was in Redwood City, Plot 176
