NOTES
2). The Ada Annie Cooper Miller family by Joyce Miller Reece Albert Austin Miller was born 31 July 1899 in Gainsville, Texas to James Albert Miller and Lousia Almaira Tow. Albert married Ada Annie Cooper born 15 Sept. 1905 in Bennington, Oklahoma. They were married at the Joseph W. Cooper home in Crystal, Ok., in 1924 they were married by a woman known as Mrs. MAYO , who would latter become Albert s step mother. The home was a pleasant place in the Oklahoma hills and woods. Grandpa Cooper, Joseph Washington, is said to have been on his way back to Arkansas, and when he got to Crystal, Ok., he liked it so well that he decided to stay there. A beautiful blue plateau shaped mountain that can been seen in the distance. Across the road from the home place, where part of the chimney was still standing, was the family cemetery. In the cemetery, with only rocks for markers, were the graves of Ada s mother, Alice Bell Norman Cooper, who died in 1923 with heart trouble at the age of 55, Ada s sister, Laura, who died with typhoid fever at the age of 9, and the grave of her brother Warden, who is said to have died with congestive chills at the age of 14. Albert and Ada had four daughters Aline Adell, Adine Marie, Eula Lee, and Joyce Nell. Albert and Ada moved to Durant, Ok. where they raised cotton and share cropped during the depression. They lived in a small house, owned by a Doctor, east of Durant called the Sawyer place . Eula had Diphtheria at the age of 9, but survived. When Joyce was 9 mos. old, the family bought a grocery store in Durant and moved to town. In addition to having living quarters, it had an upstairs apt. Which they rented out. This place was across the street from the railroad track and was called The Red Top . Unfortunately, The Red Top burned two years after they moved in. Burning most of there worldly possessions. After the fire that took both there home and business, the family rented a house on Louisiana St. near Albert s fathers James Albert store and Albert worked for him. Albert s mother, Lousia, had become ill and it was decided that Albert and his family would move into the house with a grocery store built into the side and James and Lousia would have a small house built next door. Lousia died in 1940 at the age of 61, and James decided to remarry, marring the preacher lady, Mrs. MAYO , who had married Albert and Ada. Times were very hard. World War II had started in 1941, and groceries and gas were rationed. People used different kinds of stamps for different items. Often people didn t pay for groceries they had bought on credit. Albert and Ada had heard from people who traded at the store that there were some good jobs in California. Working in the lettuce packing places. Someone from California wrote Albert a letter stating there was a job waiting for him in California. This way he was able to get enough rationed gas to go to California. Albert loaded the family and stared for California. Only God knows how me made the trip. Our water, which was stored in fruit jars, got hot, we even put quilts down on the desert sand at night, when it was cool, so we could rest. About the time we arrived in California we received a telegram saying James Albert was very ill and for us to come home. Not long after arriving back in Oklahoma, Albert himself became ill, and was diagnosed as having cancer of the stomach. Albert died 24 November 1944. Two days later his father James died of a heart attack. They are both buried in Highland Cemetery in Durant, Oklahoma. In 1946, after running the store alone for two years, Ada decided to go to California to be near her widowed sister, Della and a brother Benton Cooper. They lived in California for about two years then moved back to Oklahoma. In 1950 Ada moved to Dallas, Texas where she worked for Taylor Publishing Co. for 21 years before retiring at the age of 65. She died after two strokes and being in a nursing home for several years. She was 74 yrs. old when she died on the 23 of August 1979. She is buried next to Albert and close to her father, Joseph W. Cooper.
