Old Conventions Notices. - Coolacrease Murders
In 1921 two Pearson brothers were executed in Coolacrease, Ireland. They were caught in the Irish War of Independence and it was reported that: The two Pearson brothers who were executed by irish Nationalists were Richard Henry "Dick" and Abraham Pratt "Abe" Pearson, the sons of William and Susan Pearson, Sr. While their father and a younger brother, Sidney, were attending a convention about thirty-five miles away, these two older unmarried sons were shot by a firing squad numerous times in their back yard and left to die. None of the shots were fatal, and the two men suffered agony for six and fourteen hours respectively before they died. The women dragged a mattress away from the burning house into the field and somehow managed to get the two dying men onto it. Several family members were professing in the 2x2 Sect and were known as "Cooneyites". The family moved to Australia after this event. Details on Wikipedia and TTT. You Tube has documentaries on this tragedy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn-FxlFpg5s - Cooney & List v Wilson

Edward Cooney from Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, N. Ireland He was excommunicated in 1928 for various reasons. Among them was the failure of his attempt to convince the leaders that they had abandoned the original tenets of the faith. When his preaching became more and more in conflict with current policies, he was ousted and those who agreed with him were also expelled. They formed a separate branch which is referred to as the Cooneyites. He continued his worldwide missions as an itinerant evangelist until his death in 1960. Details are on TTT. - Cooney, Ed 1921

Edward Cooney He was the author of four hymns in the 1987 Edition. Of the 412 hymns shown on the list titled Hymns Old and New Authors (1987 Edition.), four hymns do not include the author's name. This omission is significant because all four of these hymns were written by Cooney when he was a Worker. In fact, Cooney's name has been omitted in most of the editions of "Hymns Old and New. " His initials "E. C." appeared in some of the old hymnbooks, but not his full name. His name has also been omitted from some Hymn Author Lists. The following hymns in the 1987 Edition. were written by Edward Cooney: No. 179 "As We Gather ," No. 182 "Lord We Are Met Together , " No. 183 "Our God, Our Father ," and No. 184 "Here We Come ." He also wrote "Jesus Died for Sinners," which is No. 10 in the 1951 Ed. Roberts 1991). Brother Worker, Ken Paginton , handled copyright matters for the 1987 Edition hymnbook. Dr. Patricia Roberts stated that he requested her permission to include Cooney's four hymns in the "Hymns Old and New, " 1987 Edition and she gave permission. A few years later, Dr. Roberts requested copyright permission through R. L. Allan to print Edward Cooney's hymns in her book, and her request was forwarded to Paginton. He replied to her, "As you know, they were written by Edward Cooney and therefore, we can't morally stop you." Dr. Roberts thanked him and sent him a copy of her book. The present day followers of Cooney continue to use the 1951 Edition. Paginton replied on February 24, 1992, to an inquiry by Cherie Kropp, "With regard to the four hymns 179, 182, 183, and 184, these were written by E. Cooney in the early part of this century. " Concerning the omission of Cooney's name in the Hymn Author booklet, he stated "for various private reasons, the name is not given for those four hymns, and this should be respected." In 2004, twelve years later, Edward Cooney was finally given credit for the Hymns he wrote in the revised and expanded Hymns Old and New - Concordance - Theme and Subject Index -Authors, 2004 Edition.which states "Edward Cooney (1867-1960); The author was an independent evangelist." Edward Cooney entered the Work in 1901 and was a Worker in good standing when he wrote the four hymns that have been included in each Hymnbook edition since 1917. Even after the Workers excommunicated Cooney in 1928, they continued to include his hymns in their hymnbook, but without giving him credit. It is obvious that even as recently as 2004, Workers have continued their attempts to purge Cooney's name from the 2x2 Sect's history by calling him an independent evangelist and obscuring his pioneering role in it. It appears to be a lost cause, however, as Cooney's role in the early days of the movement and his name is so well known that the 2x2 Sect is still called "Cooneyites" in some places around the world, as well as in various,books, encyclopedias, newspapers, Wikipedia and various other websites. - Cooney, Fred 1898 x4
