• Notes

  He was known exclusively as Warren Cooley, including official records From the 1900 US Census, Nebraska, Madison County, Battle Creek Village, Stephen Warren and wife Maria are found in the Remus Wilcox household, husband of daughter Luella Cooley. From Stephen's obituary the Remus Wilcox familly, including father-in-law Stephen Cooley, moved to Alexandria, Douglas County in the month of October 1905. Alexandria Citizen Alexandria, Douglas County, Minnesota Thursday, December 20, 1906 p 1, col. 5. S. W. Cooley, aged 75 years, 1 month and 13 days, died in this village at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. R. Wilcox, Thursday evening, Dec. 13th, at eleven o'clock. The immediate cause of death was cancer of the mouth, from which malady he had been a sufferer for some time past. The funeral was held at the Methodist parsonage Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, the services being conducted by Rev. Davies, presiding elder of the M. E. church in this district. The remains were taken to Madison County, Nebraska for burial. Rev. Wilcox accompanied the remains, which went forward from here Sunday evening. Stephen Warren Cooley was born in the state of New York in 1831. When but three years of age he removed with his parents to Dubuque, Iowa, where they resided for a brief time, and then removed to Clayton county, Iowa, where deceased lived during the greater portion of his lifetime. About fifteen years ago Mr. Cooley went to live with his children in the state of Nebraska, and came to Alexandria when his daughter, Mrs. W. R. Wilcox, moved here with her husband one year ago last October. Mr. Cooley was married in 1851 to Mrs. Marie Freeman. Seven children were born to them, three of whom survive. They are Mrs. C. A. Wilcox and Mrs. W. R. Wilcox of this village, and Mrs. R. C. Miles of Madison county, Nebraska, to which place the remains were taken for burial. He is also survived by a brother, who resides upon a farm near West Union, Iowa. Mr. Cooley was a life-long member of the M.E. church. He was a man of firm and unswerving integrity, and one whose Christian faith and character was reflected in every step of his daily life. Although a resident of this county but a short time, those who made his acquaintance appreciated his true worth and all regret the departure of this fine Christian gentleman. Emerick Cemetery, Madison County, Nebraska At one time at this site there was a post office, a store or two, a church, and a cemetery. All that is left is the cemetery. Emerick Cemetery still has an association and is well maintained. From Meadow Grove NE. 9 miles south west side of Road. 833 RD & 539 Ave. This cemetery was walked & recorded in Sept 2005 and is current as of Jan. 2007. Ralph K Larson - menrk@yahoo.com
