Remembering Helen McKinley Cooper: RSHS, Marriage, Early life Helen M. Cooper was 91 old when she died Friday, June 10, 2016, at her home in Jamestown, KY. From an early age she gave promise of the outstanding woman she would become. The following are glimpses of here Russell Springs High School Days, her marriage to Kenton Cooper, graduation from Lindsey Wilson College, and her career as an outstanding Russell County teacher. Click on headline for complete tribute Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story Helen McKinley, a "talented and accomplished" young woman of the Eli section, was a member of the Russell Springs High class of 1945, finishing high school in three years "and making good grades." She served as class treasurer of her freshman year, class secretary as a sophomore, and was a 4-H member her senior year. In February 1945, her senior sketch in "Hi-Lights of R.S.H.S." (the school newsletter) noted that her likes included music, flowers, fruits, red, outdoor games, and basketball; among her dislikes were "starting to school in the dark and in rainy weather." The sketch also said of her, "Helen has a very pleasing personality. Everyone who comes in contact with her can't leave without saying she is a swell kid. Her jolly disposition is contagious." On Friday, May 10, 1946, at the home of Jacob Rexroat, Rev. Carl Loy made as one Helen and Mr. Kenton Jackson Cooper of the nearby Fonthill community. (Kenton J., late S/Sgt Cooper of the Army Air Force, a teacher before entering the armed service in the summer of 1942, was hired by the Jamestown High School immediately upon his return to Russell County.) Said the Russell County News of Helen several days later in the wedding announcement, "She is a graduate of Russell Springs High School, attended Lindsey Wilson College, and is one of Russell County's outstanding teachers." The announcement also stated that for the ceremony, "She was beautifully attired in a white and gold ensemble and wore a corsage of pink roses." For the time being, the young couple resided at Fonthill amidst wishes from all their friends "for a happy and successful future as they journey through life together."
