Cooper, medical director of the American Birth Control League, died yesterday at his home at the Madison Square Hotel after a year's illness. He was born in Bolton, England, Aug. 8, 1880, and came to the United States with his family in 1886, settling in Fall River, Mass. Deciding to enter the ministry at an early age, he went to the Philadelphia Bible School, conducted by the Society of Friends, from which he graduated in 1903. After preaching in Lynn, Mass., he decided to equip himself to become a foreign medical missionary and he entered the Boston University Medical School, from which he graduated in 1912. After practicing his profession at Falmouth, Mass., for several months, in 1913 he was appointed a medical missionary to Foochow, China, by the American Board of Foreign Missions of the Congregational Church. Before leaving for the Orient, Dr. Cooper married Miss Ruth Quimby of Dorchester, Mass., who went with him to China as a missionary. She died two years later. At the outbreak of the World War Dr. Cooper, who could speak Chinese, entered the service of the British Government and took parties of coolies from China to France, by way of Canada. Upon their arrival they were employed as laborers behind the British lines on the western front. After the armistice Dr. Cooper returned to Swampscott, Mass., later settling in Boston. In 1925 he came to New York as the American Birth Control League's medical director, a post he held at the time of his death. In his work for the league he traveled 40,000 miles and addressed 300 medical societies. His interest in the subject began during his years as an obstetrician in the Boston slums fifteen years ago."
