July 28, 1831, and died at his
home in this city November 17,
1908. His parents, Martin Cooley
and Chrischaua Currin Cooley,
were natives of the same state.
His father followed farming uutil
his death iu 1840, in which year
he started for Mexico with a drove
of cattle and was never heard
from afterwards. The next year
the widowed mothor with her four
children moved ,to Henry county,
Missouri, and iu 1846 to Cass
county, Missouri, where they fol
lowed farming and continued in
the same occupation until the
spring of 1853, when with two
wagons and five yoke of oxen
they started for Oregon, arriving
here in the following fall.
The wagon train numbered 50
people and 13 wagons. They
reached Foster's without any seri

where they proceeded to Lane

Mrs. Cooley’s
brother, William Currin, was lo

the eldest child, secured a position
as clerk in the store of Hugh L.
Brown and Hugh Fields, which
business was established hy Hugh
L. Brown and James Blakey in
1850, the first and pioneer store of
Brownsville, Oregon and for four
years he used his salary for the
support of the family, thus con
tributing until they had paid up
on their land and were a little
ahead. He continued as clerk
until 1863, whett he purchased a
one-fourth interest in the store and
then ran it with several changes in
the firm name until 1868, when
the firm of Cooley and Washburn
was organized, which continued
without interruption until 18,SO,
when Mr. Cooley purchased the
interest of Mr. Washburn therein,
and with his eldest son, W . C.

founded the city of Brownsville
