Notes for Clela Cooper
Index to Kentucky Death Records lists Clela Quesenberry, d. 17 Aug 1959, age 64, in Rowan Co., certificate Vol. 37, #18003.
Her obituary in the Rowan County News of Thursday, Aug. 27, 1959 says "Clela Cooper Quisenberry, 64, died Monday, Aug. 17. She was born May 28, 1895, the daughter of Richard M. and Eliza (Roberts) Cooper, and married Asa Quisenberry on Apr 21, 1916. They were the parents of four children, who all survive: Mrs. Ruth Brown and Leota Quisenberry, Morehead; Oscar Quisenberry, Denver, Co., and Earl Quisenberry, Jonesboro, Indiana. Also surviving are one sister, Mrs. Maude McVey, and brothers Fred Cooper and Delmer Cooper, all of Muncie, Indiana."
Her gravestone as surveyed by the Rowan County Historical Society says “Celela Quesinberry, 1895-1959”, but I think the extra ‘e’ may just be a typo in the transcription.
