  • Description
  • This photograph is one of two similar pictures showing Catharine Cooper on the front porch of the Cooper home at what is now 571 Allegheny Avenue. It is interesting to contrast the frilly dress she wears as a young child to the sailor suit she dons when playing baseball with the boys when she is older. Dr. William Henry Cooper and his wife, Harriet Lillian Bettes Cooper, lived in four different houses in Oakmont from at least 1897 to Dr. Cooper's death in 1925. They had met when Dr. Cooper was a doctor and professor at the Homeopathic Hospital of Pittsburgh, now Shadyside Hospital. Harriet had been a student nurse there, and was valedictorian of her class. They had four children: Catharine (born 1897), Charles (1899), Franklin (1905), and Caroline (1912). Charles Cooper's daughter, Caroline Carroll, presented the Oakmont Carnegie Library with 80 glass plate negatives taken by Dr. Cooper from approximately 1890-1910 in the winter of 2009.
