COOPER A well known and highly respected pioneer resident of the Selma section of Fresno County is Robert Jinkens Cooper, popularly known as "Bob" Cooper. He came to this locality in November, 1875, when the land was little more than a desert waste, and with his own hands and team he assisted in digging the Centerville and Kingsburg ditch, more as an experiment, but which later proved the making of this section of the county. It is to such men that the county owes a debt of gratitude for making it "blossom as the rose." Bob Cooper was born in Calaveras County, March 8, 1858, a son of Robert Bruce Cooper, born in Mississippi in 1822, who when he was eighteen went to Texas and farmed in Harrison County several seasons, after which he came to California in 1850 and followed mining for a few years. He took up a homestead near Milton, Calaveras County, and lived there until 1889, when he moved to Fresno County and lived with his children until he moved to Santa Cruz. He married Miss Alta Zara Lewis, also born in Mississippi but reared in Arkansas. They had five children: Samuel B., a rancher near Del Rey ; Joseph H., a rancher at Selma; Mary, married Frank Cleary who died at Lindsav; Robert J., of this review; and Henry E., residing in Academy district. Mrs. Cooper died in 1872, in Calaveras County. Mr. Cooper spent his last days at Lindsay, dying at the age of ninety-one, in 1915. They were a fine pioneer couple and endured the privations of the early settlers. Mr. Cooper came from Texas, with saddle and pack mules, as far as Mazatlan, thence by boat to San Francisco, while Mrs. Cooper spent six months on the plains, making the journey from Mississippi with ox teams over the Santa Fe trail. Bob Cooper is a native son and as such takes a pride in the welfare of the people and in the development of the country in general. His education was obtained in the public schools of the state and his early training was along agricultural lines. He came to Fresno County in 1875, looking for a favorable location, and at that time bought forty acres of land where he now lives and upon which he has spent his time and attention in bringing to a high state of development. He has been a hard worker and is a good manager. As one of the pioneers he has shown how to succeed in cultivating the desert lands. Selma was not known and the nearest station and switch was at Kingsburg on the south and at Fowler on the north. There were three of the Cooper boys who settled in Fresno County and took up homesteads or bought railroad land in 1876. Samuel Bob and Joseph, and all of them have made good by their wise investments. The Kingsburg and Centerville ditch proved a success and made it possible to grow the peach and raisin grape in this section. This was the first successful irrigation system in this part of the county. In 1883, on the day before Christmas, at Visalia, R. J. Cooper and Miss Kate L. Mann, were united in marriage. Mrs. Cooper was born in the San Ramon Valley, Contra Costa County, on February 19, 1864, a daughter of Elson Mann, born in Indiana and a pioneer of California of 1849, in which year he crossed the plains and made settlement in what is now San Benito County, and later lived in Tulare County until 1896, when he came to Fresno County. He spent five years here and then moved to Santa Rosa. He served in the Mexican War under Colonel Doniphan. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper endeared themselves to their many friends by their many acts of kindness and by their integrity. Mrs. Cooper died on April 15, 1919. mourned by a wide circle of friends by whom she was held in the highest esteem for her generosity, genial disposition and Christian character.
