Robert Coop- er,` who was a brother or Miss Stella Cooper of Barrie, was known to his friends as Budd. He was horn in Toronto 24 years ago and enlisted while employed in the office of the Ontario Motor Supply Co. He was a member of the Olivet Baptist Sunday School. Besides his mother, Cooper, widow of the late David G. Cooper, live sisters are left. Pte. Cooper enlisted in'()etober, 1915, and" went overseas in March of last year, as a elerk.t.o't.he quarter- ll`luSl,0I' of stores, but, eagerto get to the front, transferred to any other battalion and went in a. rinnpi In `E`Annv-an 3-~--'- ' `- .,..\... nrllaU\`.'|A-llklll (LHU \`V'5_l.ll,- I ell draft, to France early last Decem_ her.
