Will Give Lecture Sunday. The Omaha Bee of yesterday had a very interesting sketch of one of the best known and most picturesque figures in that city, Judge Julius S. Cooley, well known police court at torney and who was at one time a resident of Cass county and well re membered by the older residents of Plattsmouth and Cedar Creek. Time has made many changes in this kind hearted man and lawyer of the poor and down trodden. To A. R. Groh, staff correspondent of the Bee he re lated a part of his life's history that is of interest here to the old friends and neighbors. The following is a part of the Judge's 6tory of his life: "Julius S. Cooley was born on a farm near the village of Pavillion, Kalamazoo county, Michigan, March 31, 1861. Of Puritan Blood. " 'On both sides of the house my people have been in the United States for 300 years, he said. 'We are Puritans. My father, Griffith Ste phens Cooley, and my mother, Julia Cooley, were remarkable. I was named for my uncle, Col Julius Lilly. He was chosen by General Sherman to command the forces that went ahead to reconnoiter and forage on the march to the sea. He was am bushed by Wade Hampton's cavalry. but he fought his way out.' "Cooley's joy in the success and distinction of his relatives and all those with whom he has come in con tact is a marked characteristic, evi dent throughout his narration. "There were eight children. Four of his sisters and a brother are still living. Distinguished Family. " 'Mv brother. Asher. lives on a w S - - - - I farm north of Lincoln, he said. 'My oldest sister, Mrs. George E. Sayles, resides at Cedar Creek.) Neb., and her son is county clerk i of Cass county. The next sister, Mrs. C. H. Pinkham. lived at South Bend for years. Her son, John, J started the first boy's newspaper in the United States and her only! daughter married a man who was once mayor of Berlin. " 'My Bister, Mrs. Marion Keifer i of Oakland, Cal., has a wonderful . family. Her daughter was chosen as the best singer on the Pacific coast and sent to a competition in the east.
