Wedding Wednesday- Joseph Baer Cooper and Helen Cooper
Wedding Photo of Joseph and Helen Cooper
February 3rd, 1901, was a special day for Helen Freda Cooper and her second cousin, Joseph Baer Cooper- it was the day they were married in Elmira, Chemung, New York, USA. Both were immigrants from Russian Lithuania, with Helen only in the United States for about a year before their marriage. Joseph was 27, Helen 22 on their wedding day.
Helen’s parents are unknown to us, and her Uncle, Irving Cooper, and Aunt, provided the wedding:
