JAMES Jarrett COOPER born 7 May 1861 at Gundurimba and died age
98 in the Kyogle Memorial Hospital on the 11 Mar 1960. James
married 1881 Mary Sarah LOFTS who was born 1865 and died 6 Aug
1910 at Kyogle. Two children.
James childhood was spent at North Creek and Teven with a short
sojourn on the Bellinger River.
After their marriage James and Mary took up a selection at
Chilcott Grass and cleared and farmed the area. Then in 1901 they
purchased a farm at Fairy Hill, sold out in 1906 and moved to the
newly opened Kyogle district. It was whilst here that James lost
his wife Mary. He then acquired a large holding at Horseshoe
Creek by selection and purchased and farmed successfully there
until 1924. He then moved to Fawcetts Plains and thence to Kyogle.
James lived with his son Colin until his death.
James was a pioneer of the Richmond River. He was born into its
early settlement and as one phase of its growth gave place for
another he played a part. He worked the cedar, searched the
beaches for gold, cleared the scrub, took cane in from the Big
Scrub to the private sugar mills scattered through the bush. He
then cleared the land with axe and brush hook to convert the land
into prosperous dairy farms at Chilcott's Grass and Horseshoe
Creek many years before the roads and railway came into being. He
lent a helping hand wherever it was need and did his part with
church and school work.
James was a keen horseman and a well known figure with his
hunters and hacks on the local show and sports grounds.
1. Elsie Maud COOPER born 1885 died 1970 married Herbert SMITH
born 1881, died 1916. Elsie and Herbert Smith had one child. (See
also marriage to Robert D Carr). Elsie was educated at
Goonellabah and Tregeagle schools. It was whilst the family was
living at Horseshoe Creek that she married Herbert Smith. The
couple participated in the new settlement at Horseshoe Creek and
were active into the Church into the new community. The Smiths
would take their portable organ by horseback along with their
collection of hymn books to the various homes where the church
services were being held. Elsie also established and ran the
first school in the district.
After her husband died Elsie remarried to Robert D Carr and even
after her remarriage kept up her active profile in the community.
She took a leading role in the establishment of the local school
which replaced the subsidised school conducted by herself. She
was always keen to see and help in the improvement of the
district. Elsie, with her family, helped establish monthly
services of the Presbyterian faithful in Horseshoe Creek.
Elsie and Robert finally retired to Lismore but her good works
would always be remembered by all the district folk.
