Notes:
The death of Mr. Edward Cobb at his home here last week verifies the truth of the prophecy “Three score years and ten shall they days be.” Mr. Cobb was 70 years of age, had never been ill a day in his life nor taken a dose of medicine from a physician ‘til a few weeks ago he had a stroke of paralysis which developed heart weakness that caused his death Friday, January 6th. Mr. Cobb was of a quiet, retiring disposition and ever seemed haunted by the memory of the great tragedy that clouded his young life, when his two brothers were murdered in their beds by one Charles Collins more than forty years ago. Though quiet and reserved in his intercourse with others, his interest, sympathy and helpfulness responded quickly to the call of need. His wife precede him to the Great Beyond many years ago. During his early life he united with the Church of Christ at Maysville and was immersed by Elder Henry Taylor during his Pastorate there, and the faith then expressed remained with him to the end. He leaves five children, all grown, some of them married, all of them honored and respected. The funeral services at Bethany conducted by Elder T.P. Degman was largely attended.
