• Notes

  Many official documents wrongly listed Hersey Churchill Cooley's given name as "Hershey" as well as his son, Hersey Blake Cooley whose gravestone in Rose Hill Cemtery, Spearfish, SD reads "Hershey B". The name Hersey is very likely a Hebrew variant of the name Hershel which is a is a given name and a surname of German and Jewish origins. The meaning of Herschel is deer or stag deriving from the Yiddish form of the Hebrew Zvi/Tzvi. The stag is the symbol of the Israelite Tribe of Naphtali. (Medical):Sudden death, fell dead on street
