Biographical Sketch of Edward M. Cooley

Edward M. Cooley was born in San Bernardino County, California, November 23, 1859. His father, George Cooley, president of the board of supervisors, taught night school for some two or three years. Our subject’s educational advantages were limited. He received his principal schooling at a log schoolhouse about six miles from his home. He now owns a fine ranch of sixty acres, and has been very successful as a general farmer and stock-raiser. He was married March 4, 1882, to Miss Mary McCrary, daughter of Abner McCrary, a sketch of whose life appears elsewhere in this work. They have two bright children, Maud and Lester. Politically Mr. Cooley is a Democrat, and has received the nomination of his party for some of the district offices. He is an energetic, industrious and enterprising young man and bids fair to make an enviable record in the calling he has chosen for a life work.
