5. | Eleanor Newcomb was born on 30 Nov 1915 in Melba, Canyon Co, Idaho (daughter of Lewis Elmer Newcomb and Helen Alice Prisk); died on 13 Jul 2008 in Canon City, Fremont Co, Colorado; was buried on 18 Jul 2008 in Cloverdale Memorial Park, Boise, Ada Co, Idaho. Notes: Eleanor Newcomb was born 30 Nov 1915 in Melba, Canyon County, Idaho to Lewis Elmer Newcomb and Helen Prisk Newcomb. She was not given a middle name at birth but she used Norma as a middle name the rest of her life and her name appears as "Eleanor Norma Newcomb" on her marriage certificate. Thus this makes it somewhat official that she had a middle name. She attended Glendale Grade School and Melba High School graduating in 1934. She then enrolled that same year in the College of Idaho in Caldwell, Idaho, and attended for one school year. In 1935 she transferred to the University of Colorado (CU) in Boulder for the semester beginning in the fall of 1935 where she pledged and joined the Chi Omega sorority. Her first date at CU was with her eventual husband, Robert M. Cooley. She continued with her studies in journalism for another school year (1936-37). She also became a member of the Greek, women's, professional journalistic society, Theta Sigma Phi. Shortly after her second year at CU she returned home to Melba, Idaho, with Robert Miller Cooley to whom she was married 1 July 1937. They returned to Colorado that same year where they lived for one year in an apartment in Bob's parent's home in Akron until mid 1938 whereupon they moved to a house on Railroad Avenue and present-day Date Street (one block east of state highway 63). Later they bought the Crutchfield house on present-day Custer Street directly west of his brother, Coyne Cooley. In 1943 her husband joined the war effort but after a brief stint in the United States Army, he was discharged for health reasons and, upon his return home he was requested to take the position of Chief of the Rationing Board in Greeley, Colorado. They rented their Custer Street home to Nelson and Maude Sears (the parents of Coyne's wife, Margaret Sears Cooley) and moved to Greeley. After a short stay in Greeley, they moved to Limon, Colo., to help his brother, Dale, publish the Limon Leader. They were there until June 1945 when they moved to Nampa, Idaho. In January 1946 they bought the Mountain Home News in Mountain Home, Idaho. Eleanor worked at the newspaper writing local and society items, doing occasional reporting assignments, and bookkeeping. While in Mountain Home she was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and a member of Daughters of the Nile the female side of the Shriners (of which her father, L.E. Newcomb, was a member). Because of her husband's worsening arthritic condition in 1953 they elected to move to the drier climate of Arizona. They resided in Tempe in rented quarters from November 1953 to September 1954 while they had a new home built in west Phoenix on Mulberry Drive. While they lived in Phoenix, Eleanor did housekeeping and, in the summer, helped with job printing chores for the Glendale High School district where her husband taught school. In July of 1963 the family moved to Reedley in the central valley of California where her husband became Director of Public Information at Reedley College. Just a year later in July of 1964 they moved to Flagstaff, Arizona, where Bob had accepted the position of Chairman of the Journalism Department and Director of Public Information at Northern Arizona University. Eleanor was society editor for the Flagstaff Daily Sun for several months. She joined Sigma Delta Chi, a professional journalism society. She also worked in the admissions office of NAU and was appointed editor of the Pine, the alumni magazine of Northern Arizona University. Upon the retirement of her husband in 1976 they moved back to Idaho where they settled in the relatively new Indian Lake subdivision just south of Boise. Eleanor was a member of the Episcopal Church of Boise and a member of the Boise Bishop Rowe Guild, a social and community organization of the Episcopal Church. Eleanor N. Cooley, 92, of Canon City, Colo., formerly of Mountain Home, died Sunday, July 13, 2008, at the Legacy Center in Canon City. Graveside services were held July 18 at Cloverdale Cemetery in Boise. The Rev. Luther Pitz of the All Saints Episcopal Church officiated. Arrangements were under the direction of Summers Funeral Home, Boise Chapel. - Mountain Home News, Mountain Home Idaho, July 13th 2008
