Here's a copy and paste of the Find-A-Grave entry. Thanks for funding this
Nancy! I see it was added about a year ago.
Birth: Dec. 25, 1811
Missouri, USA
Death: Mar. 16, 1899
Macon County
Missouri, USA
- NO TOMBSTONE
LA PLATA HOME PRESS, La Plata, Missouri, Thursday, Mar. 16, 1899
DROPPED DEAD
Uncle Perian Cooley, one of the oldest residents of Macon County, dropped
dead this morning at eight o'clock. He was in apparently good health up to
the time of his death, and had walked out to the wood pile when death
came. He was 87 years old last Christmas. The remains will be interred in
the La Plata Cemetery, the funeral being held in this city tomorrow.
