Notes:

At the time of the 1940 census, he was a resident of Austin, Travis County, Texas, and a lodger in the home of Troy and Dolly Willingford. He was listed as Hallie Cooper, Male, White, age 20, Single, born in Texas, and working as a truck driver for Bell Factory Ice Cream. Jim Cooper writes that his nickname was "Red," and that he " drove for Kerrville Bus Lines for 43 years, working as a consultant for Greyhound upon his retirement. During World War II he served with the Navy in the South Pacific. As a Boy Scout leader, he was awarded the Scouter's Key and was inducted into the Order of the Arrow. He served as a Girl Scout leader as well. As a member of the Travis County Sheriff's Posse he performed with the mounted drill team and was a charter member of the Travis County Emergency Unit. Pioneer Farm honored him for his many volunteer hours there. He is first seen on the 1930 census listed erroneously as Hollie, the 8 year old daughter of Lewis Cooper."

Halley married Evelyn Lois Bird before 1941. Evelyn was born on 23 Apr 1921 in Temple, Bell County, Texas; died on 16 Nov 2002 in Austin, Travis County, Texas; was buried in Cook-Walden Capital Parks Cemetery, Pflugerville, Travis County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Virgie Speights shows his middle name as Anderson, but all other researchers indicate it was actually Amberson. This is supported by the Widow's Application for a Confederate Pension application completed by Amelia Cooper, listing the full name of her husband as James Amberson Cooper. She also referenced that he had previously drawn a pension, citing file number 33200. Ancestry.com shows in their Civil War Service Records database that J. A. Cooper served in the Eleventh Texas Infantry, entering as a private and being discharged as a Corporal.

Jim Cooper writes on his blog, "Trails to Texas," http://www.trailstotexas.com/

"On the 1900 census, Amelia reports that she has had 11 children, 7 of whom were alive at that time. Only the 10 children below have been identified. Apparently one child whose name is now not known died at birth or very soon thereafter. If anyone has any information about this child, please contact me at mailto: jimcooper@austin.rr.com."
