       FRANK E. COOPER, electro-therapeutic, whose office is at No. 367
    River Street, Manistee, located in this city in May, 1891, and now
    considers himself a permanent fixture.  He has built up a good prac-
    tice, and both he and his estimable wife have their time fully employed

    in attending the wants of their numerous patients.  The office is
    supplied with all of the necessary appliances and expensice accou-
    trements used in the electric system.  No one who has had any ex-
    perience of this method of healing has any doubt as to its super-
    iority and efficacy in many cases which are apparently beyond the
    reach of ordinary remedies.
       Dr. COOPER was born August 14, 1854, in Wayne County, Mich.  His
    parents were WILLIAM J. and MARY (LUDLOW) COOPER, the former of
    Scotch-English, and the latter of Irish, descent.  They located in
    Wayne County in 1865, having emigrated thence from Canada, where
    they were married.  They were both born in Europe, but came in 
    early years to the western continent.  Mr. COOPER located upon a
    farm and devoted himself to its cultivation, meeting with good
    success.
       In his boyhood Dr. COOPER attended the public school near his
    home and gave much of his time to assisting his father in the work
    of the farm.  He remained under the parental roof-tree until he
    was about thirty years of age, though supporting himself after
    reaching his majority.  He was then for the first interested in
    his present field of work and made a particular study of elec-
    tricity and its curative properties.  In 1884 he opened an office
    for the treatment of patients at East Saginaw, and from the first
    met with the earnest co-operation of his fellow-citizens.  For
    some time he was in the office of Dr. GARDNER, and then went to
    Toledo, where he became a partner of a physician, but regretted
    this step subsequently, as it was not to their mutual benefit.
    Dr. COOPER at length retired from the firm and went to Owosso,
    Mich., where he opened an office on his own account and remained
    there for some months.  For the past four years he has been meeting
    with gratifying success in this city.  The method he employs is
    general and special electric treatments and galvanic baths.  His
    wife is thoroughly schooled in the system and in the use of various
    appliances, and is a valuable assistant.
       In 1878 Dr. COOPER married in Detroit, Mich., Miss HANNAH DELANEY,
    a native of Romulus, Wayne County, Mich.  She is a daughter of HIRAM
    DELANEY, who was a native of New York State.  Her education was com-
    pleted in Detroit, and she is a lady of good attainments and general
    information.
       The only civic society with which Dr. COOPER is now identified is
    the Odd Fellows,' he being a member of Manistee Lodge No. 121.  In
    his political views he is a Republican, but does not take an active
    part in party matters, as his time is exclusively given to his busi-
    ness affairs.
