COBB --- At her home in Marcus, of dropsy and heart trouble, Saturday, Dec.
19, 1891, Augusta, wife of J.L. Cobb.

Mrs. Cobb was born in 1834 in Essex County, N.J., and came to Jones county
in 1855 where she was united in marriage with J.L. Cobb in 1855. Mr. and
Mrs. Cobb were respected residents of Remsen township for a number of years,
but more recently moved to Marcus. The husband and seven children are left
to mourn the loss, among them Mrs. J.L. Kroesen, of this city. About a year
ago Mrs. Cobb had a slight paralytic stroke and since then has been a great
sufferer from her malady. Only a few weeks ago she had a severe attack while
visiting with her daughter in this city. The funeral took place from the
M.E. church in Marcus, Monday at 2 p.m. Mr. Cobb will probably become a
resident of LeMars about Jan. 1st.
