Julie,
There's also a listing for Prince A Cooley at 303 N 23rd in the 1903 Billings City directory, with parents at same address. Interesting that his WWI draft registration in 1918 and even the 1940 census list him as Patrick (Albert) Cooley, not Prince(s). And yet his gravestone is Princes A. Years later...it would be fun to figure out the story behind the name!!
