Biography

William Cooper was part of the generation that sustained Christ Church and the wider community, committing himself to the work of parish life and local commerce during a time of great change. He offered support for neighbors by tending to the churchyard, organizing community efforts, and welcoming travelers who passed through the growing town.

Christ Churchyard now rests in silence above his grave, where the congregation still acknowledges the faithful labor he gave so willingly.
