    [Excerpts of the column written by Virgie Collier Speights]

    Mrs. Alpha Martin Cooper, who soon will be 77 years old, is in feeble health and has had a peck of trouble, but still has spunk and feels she also had a bushel of blessings.

    The daughter of William Franklin and Mary Elizabeth Jordan Martin, she was born in a log cabin which was soon replaced by a huge double-penned, hand hewn log dwelling with wide hall and front and back porches, which was within two miles of where she has lived all her life, except for a brief scurry into West Texas in search of greener pastures.

    With seven boys and six girls, the Martins, who were trying to wrest a living from the reluctant land, needed every hand....As soon as she was old enough, Mrs. Cooper was picking cotton alongside her older brothers and sisters...

    Her parents were born in the area in which they lived, but their parents had come from Mississippi. Her grandparents were Thomas Jefferson Martin and Rebecca Richardson on her fathers side, and Lewis Jordan and Josephine Letney on her mothers side...(she was schooled) in a one-room log building, called Pleasant Grove located near Pineland, which is still standing. Her teachers included Lena Williams, a sister of the late Sim Williams, Tom Sutton and a Mr. McLanahan. James Scott Cooper, whom she married on 28 May 1905, attended the same school.

    Alpha married James Scott Cooper on 29 May 1905 in Sabine County, Texas. James (son of James Amberson Cooper and Amelia Elizabeth Jacks) was born on 12 Jan 1883 in Pineland, Sabine County, Texas; died on 11 Apr 1963 in Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas; was buried in Jacks Cemetery, Pineland, Sabine County, Texas.
