[Waterloo Semi Weekly Courier, Friday, March 22, 1907, Waterloo, Iowa]

Mrs. C. B. Cobb, for six weeks an inmate of the hospital and suffering from uremia, died last night at about the midnight hour. Mrs. Cobb was a patient sufferer during the long week of her illness, and the relatives and friends made the passing hours as bright as possible. Her husband was
present when the end came and her sister, Mrs. Thomas Phillips of Raymond, who had been the mother-sister to the family was constantly at the bedside. Mrs. Cobb was not old in years, but her memory will ever be sweet to those who were associated with her in church and charitable work
and who experienced her never falling kindness to companions and friends.

The maiden name of the deceased was Miss Grace E. Blngham and she was born at Bishopsgate, Ontario, Canada, on March 18, 1867, and she came with the family to Waterloo in 1873. The father, Jacob Blngham, came to this city to act as superintendent of the agricultural works, which closed some few months later. The family remained in the city, the members engaging in other work.

She was married some 16 years ago to C. E. Cobb, and they made their home with Mrs. H. A. Cobb on West Park Avenue.

The surviving sisters and brothers of the deceased are: Mrs. Thomas Phillips of Raymond, Mrs. A. W. Dickinson of Pasadena, Cal., Frank M. Bingham of Denver, Colo., and Mrs. R. A. Corson, residing at 624 Independence Avenue. Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Phillips had made it a rule to celebrate their birthdays in company, and last Monday was perhaps the saddest anniversary of the birth of both that either had experienced.

Awaiting further news from relatives who are expected to be present, the arrangements for the funeral are not announced.
