church and the nation here," said
the soft-spoken Cooper, who re-
veals a hint of his own North
Carolina roots in an accent undi-
minished by 47 years in
Pennsylvania. .
"I had other calls, but the minis-
ter is at liberty to accept or reject,”
he added. :
Cooper, who became pastor in
1945 when he was 23 years old, re-
jected outright all offers to serve
elsewhere.
He said the community was
largely rural in 1945. The church
had no indoor plumbing and ser-
vices were scheduled to accommo-
date farmers of the area.
The parish has changed since °
then, but Cooper said that building
was only part of the story.
"Every time Edgar thought about
moving a new building program
started and he wanted to see it fin-
ished," said sister-in-law, Eleanor
Scharf of Kings Mountain. "One of
the joys of being there has been
that Edgar has touched the lives of
five generations of families."
Twice, Cooper opened sessions
of the Pennsylvania House of
Representatives with a invocation.
Several years ago he traveled to
Germany to present a plaque to the
city of Einbeck, birthplace of
Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg,
founder of the German Lutheran
Church in the United States and a
. former minister at the New
Hanover Lutheran Church,
Cooper has also had his own
personal moments of joy. Sixteen

“I am confident that the message
I will bring back with me as a re-
sult of my mission will enable the
American Red Cross to continue to
make a significant contribution to
alleviating the vast needs of the
suffering in areas of conflict and
famine--those innocent victims
who have touched the hearts of
America and of the entire world,"
said Dole in a news letter to area

years ago at the age of 54, he met
and married his wife, Jacqueline.
"It was always a part of my
prayer life that I would be guided
in the choice of my wife," Cooper
said.
Mrs. Cooper, originally from
Kentucky, was visiting a niece in
Pottstown when she attended ser-
vice at the New Hanover Church.
For Cooper, who met her at the
church door after the service, she
was the long-awaited answer to
prayer.
Cooper and his wife say retire-
ment is tough but he tells the
church that a man doesn't retire
from the ministry. "You're a repre-
sentative of Christ as long as you
live."
