Family Photograph – 124 viewsWhen photographs were taken around the turn of the 19th century, parents did not allow their children to smile for the camera. It was consider a bad omen. It looks like though this picture was snapped prematurely as the man on the left is smiling - must have been a great party!CelticRadio

Edward Cooper - Founder of the American Mica Company – 130 viewsThis is Edward Cooper, my Great Grandfather and founder of the American Mica Company. The American Mica Company was an operation in Wellesley and Newton Massachusetts involved in the production of Mica for electrical devices. Mr. Cooper held many patients on the Mica splitting process and folding process. He had 14 children, all daughters with the exception of a son who died at a young age. Because of his company he enjoyed a very good life until he was swindled by a Wallstreet baron.CelticRadio

American Mica Company Field Day – 114 viewsHere is a picture of the people of the American Mica Company that my Great Grandfather Edward Cooper owned at the turn of the 19th century. You will not find Mr. Cooper at the front of the picture, but mixed in with the employees. That says alot about him, but unfortunately he was swindled out of the company by a Wall Street baron. While he understand electrical components, he did not understand that 51% of the company means you no longer control the company. He lost his dream and died in regret.CelticRadio

American Mica Company Employees – 117 viewsHere is another picture of the employees of the American Mica Company. I have circled 2 people. The one to the right is my Great Grand Father Edward Cooper, the one of the left is the Wallstreet Baron who swindled him out of his company. I think this picture is very telling of my Grandfather as he looks rather concerned, while the swindler not accustomed to hot weather appears to be talking his talk that lead to my Great Grand Father losing his company.CelticRadio
