Cooley, Edwin A. (b. ABT 1801, d. BET 1860 AND 1869)

Note: Edwin was a printer in DePere, Wis.

JANESVILLE GAZETTE:
MESSRS. COOLEY & CIVER have commenced the publication of a newspaper at Beloit, entitled the Beloit Messenger. It professes to be neutral in politics -- is a small sheet, but is to be enlarged soon -- is filled with interesting reading matter and makes a handsome appearance. -- We hope the publishers will find it a profitable enterprise.

Note: Evidently the Beloit Messenger, did not turn out to be "a profitable enterprise." Its printer, (Edwin) Alanson Cooley, soon abandoned the project and moved one county eastward, to Elkhorn, where he established the Walworth County Democrat near the end of 1847. Oliver Cowdery came to Elkhorn in 1847, and after an unsuccessful attempt to be elected to the State Legislature, in the spring of 1848, he joined his old associate, Cooley, as co-editor of the Democrat. Oliver Cowdery only worked at the Walworth paper for a short time, before he was approached by his brother-in-law, Phineas Young, regarding the possibility of Oliver's rejoining the Mormon Church and setting up a newspaper at Kanesville (Council Bluffs), Iowa, in support of the Mormon cause. In the Oct. 5, 1848 issue of his Gospel Herald, Editor J. J. Strang reports: "Phineas Young is here, telling that brother Cowdery is going with him to Council Bluffs." According to Mormon records, Cowdery did just that, and was re-baptized in that place on Nov. 12, 1848. Cowdery was too sick to carry though with the newspaper plans and the responsibility for managing the Frontier Guardian fell upon LDS Apostle Orson Hyde. Oliver Cowdery died in Missouri on Mar. 3, 1850. As for Mr. Cooley, it appears that he left Elkhorn not long after the departure of his co-editor. The 1850 census returns show him living at Winnebago, Winnebago Co., Wisconsin and the following year Mr. Cooley moved to Howard twp. in Brown Co., where he worked as the printer of the Green Bay Standard for three years. Following the demise of that paper, Cooley eventually moved to Ripon, Fond Du Lac Co., Wisconsin, where he died on Apr. 26, 1883 -- see the Fon Du Lac Daily Commonwealth for his obituary. For more on Mr. Cooley's probable early relationship with Oliver Cowdery, in New York, see the notes appended to the Dec. 30, 1837 issue of the Niagara Democrat.

THE OSHKOSH TRUE DEMOCRAT:
This paper was published by "Densmore & Cooley;" which means that by Feb., 1849 E. Alanson Cooley had left his previous editorial position at the Elkhorn Walworth County Democrat.
