JAMES COOPER The death took place suddenly at Auckland yesterday of Mr James Cooper aged 71 years. He was one of the original settlers of the Kio Kio Block when it was thrown open for selection in 1904. After’ breaking in the land he sold out and purchased a farm on the Mangaorongo Road which is now being conducted by his share-milkers. He subsequently lived in retirement in Auckland.

A resolution expressing appreciation of the services rendered the Council by the deceased, and sympathy with Mrs Cooper and family in their bereavement, was carried, all members standing in silence.
