Charles M. Cooper. SEWAREN, July 12--Charles Mulford Cooper died at his home in Cliff road Saturday night at eleven o'clock. Mr. Cooper was born in Freehold September 8, 1851, and was a direct descendant of Daniel Cooper, who came from Holland in 1735 and settled at Basking Ridge. Mr. Cooper was educated at the Freehold Military Academy and at Pennington Seminary. Fifty years ago he entered the photo-engraving business of the Moss Engraving Co. of New York, the first concern in this line. At the time of his death he was connected with the Gill Engraving Co. and was the dean of New York engravers. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper came to Sewaren over thirty years ago and have always been prominently identified with every movement and organization for the betterment of the community. Mr. Cooper was one of the charter members of St. John's church and was senior warden and superintendent of the Sunday school at the time of his death. A charter member of the Land and Water Club and one of the board of governors he was also president of the Free Public Library Association. In all of these organizations Mr. Cooper took a keen interest and in his death Sewaren loses one of its most prominent and public spirited citizens. Mr. Cooper was always surrounded by the children of the community by whom he will be sadly missed. The funeral services will be held from his late residence tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock and will be conducted by Rev. John Whitney Crowell, rector of St. Mary's church of Brooklyn.
