    Local Resident has 100 birth anniversry celebration

    Doris Lewis Cooper will celebrate the her 100 birthday on July 30, at the Christian Life Center of the First Baptist Church in Pineland.

    She was born on July 30, 1911 in Bleakwood. She is the great-great-granddaughter of Samuel Lewis, who served in the first Texas Congress as representative for what is now Jasper. She lived in Newton County until she was 15 years old. At that time she moved with her family to a farm near Milam. She amrried James (Jim) Cooper in 1932. They had five children: Winona WILSON of Richardson, Jimmie ADDISON of Crowley, Ruth CATES of Fort Worth, Arlon COOPER of Pineland and Doris FISK of Forth Worth.

    The family moved to Hemphill in 1951. After all the children graduated from Hemphill High School, the family moved to Fort Worth, she she lives now alone in her own home. Three daughters live near by. She cooks her meals, takes care of herself, and the house. She uses a walker, because of arthritis; otherwise she is in fairly good health.

    She has been an active church member most of her life. She loves to play "42" a domino game, and she reads Christian novels.

    She did not have a career. She was a housewife, who spent her summers canning the produce the farm provided. She was a wonderful mother to her children. She is grandmother to 11, great grandmother to 22, and great-great grandmother to four. She is favorite aunt to many nieces and nephews.

    If you knew her when she lived in Sabine County, or if you knew her children, you are welcome to attend her birthday party from 2 to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 30.
