The climate there did not agree with him, and he came home to Nashville to serve on his father's newspaper, THE AMERICAN, and gave that up to take over the faming operations of Riverwood in Nashville, Tn. From a newspaper clipping in the files of a Dallas, Texas relative, we found the following obit - marked Nashville, 1905, and no other date:
"Flavel Fleming Cooper - Thrown from his horse while riding along Church Street Tuesday afternoon died in a local infirmary Thursday. Educated in the Webb School at Culleoka. For a short time occupied a governmental position in Wahsington, and later was a valued member of the business staff of "The American." Because of ill health he gave up all active business and later lived at the family country place in the 18th District of the County, where he was very much interested in farming operation, in which he was quite successful. He was sanguine, cordial, well read, fine sense of humor, bright mind, and happy temperament, and was a center about which his family and friends gathered."
