Susan Fenimore Cooper was an american writer, daughter of the novelist James Fenimore Cooper.
In 1873, she founded an orphanage in Cooperstown, New York, and under her superintendence it became in a few years a prosperous charitable institution. It was begun in a modest house in a small way with five pupils; in 1900 the building, which was erected in 1883, sheltered ninety boys and girls. The orphans were taken when quite young, were fed, clothed, and given a basic education, and when old enough positions were found for them in “good Christian families.” Some of them before leaving were taught to earn their own living.
