request RE. James Ed Cooley. The person you refer to as James Ed Cooley was born in Grand Jct Colo. in 1907 to William Issac Cooley and Mary Morrison Vanhorne. They owned a large ranch in Castle Valley Utah. James was raised there. by his parents. he attended Utah State U. ----Graduated from Grand county High school so I do not think there is much possibility he is the person you seek.. as I am certain he was not sent to be raised by his grandparents. also his father William Issac Cooley left his home in missouri at about the age 15 and worked as drover on cattle drives from Texas to Wyoming until he joined a company of Gold miners to explore Colorado and Utah mines he homesteaded 640 acres in Castle valley utah. and became involved in the local politics of Grand county
