Sarah Melinda Cooper

1885 - 1918  (32 years)

• Name	Sarah Melinda Cooper
  Birth	7 Nov 1885	Oakdale, Antelope Co, Nebraska
  Gender	Female
  Death	21 Oct 1918	Higginsville, Lafayette Co, Missouri
  	She died from the 1818 Influenza Epidemic "leaving 3 young daughters - Helen 9, Ruth 7, and Irene 4. The girls were split up often and rotated primarily among 3 Allison aunts: Rachel Turner, Eva Winkelman and Mittie Day from 1918 to ca. 1923. I think Irene was with Rachel Turner in 1920. Helen went to live with Eva Winkelman about that time too. "The 2nd marriage (producing 2 more Allison children) created problems for the 3 girls. They were taken to Allison and/or Cooper aunts when school was out in May and could not return 'home' until September. In spite of such difficult formative years, they each had average families and circumstances."
