Sarah Cooper lived in Findlay, the home of Cooper Tires and Marathon Oil. As a little girl I sat in the famous sandwich shop, Wilson's, and looked up at the wall opposite where it said COOPER in big blue letters. I thought my Grandpa Cooper owned that big company. I
will not tell you how old I was when I learned we were no relation!
Anyway, little Sarah was born the last of three girls, eight and four years older than she. At night those mean sisters told her she was their "little stove" so she would let them put their big, cold feet on her! Despicable. I'm sure
I never did anything like that to my 3 little sisters.
None of us are very artistic in the painting/drawing category. Our gifts are more in the music/writing line. But Sarah as a little girl had a blackboard, and one day tried to draw a bunny. It looked EXACTLY like Little Orphan Annie's dog Sandy. Mom was so proud of that drawing, she wouldn't let anyone erase it for MONTHS. One day her Mom finally cleaned off the board, and Sarah had a conniption fit. The only artistic thing she ever drew, and it was gone. That has been 80 years ago, and she still tells the story pathetically, as one of the great tragic moments of her life.
Tomorrow - going to jail.

Hello Dorsey Girls,
Really like your work Marg. The History of Rev. Dorsey was great. I can remember summer nights in
Circleville, Ohio when he was preaching @ Mount Of Praise.

Patty & Betty. Glad to see your Mom is doing good....God Bless you All !!!!
