...Mrs. Cobb suffered a great misfortune seven years ago when a stroke of paralysis robbed her of the normal use of her body. Her speech was taken from her, as well as the pleasure of going and coming as in her former years, but through all this there was no murmuring, no complaining of her lot. She bore it all patiently and with a most commendable fortitude.
...The funeral services were held at Tent Chapel Friday afternoon, conducted by A. R. Kepple of Kansas City. Burial was in Rose Hill cemetery at Blockton. (Source: Find A Grave Memorial# 29498452)
