GRANDMA COBB PASSES AWAY
After a protracted illness of about a year Grandma Cobb passed away
Monday evening June 21, at the family home on East Calhoon street. Mrs.
Cobb has not enjoyed the best of health for several years in spite of
the kind ministration of loving hands. Paulina Marie Hill was born in
Indiana September 6, 1842. She came to Blackhawk county, Iowa, in 1852
and was married to Lorenzo Allen Cobb May 21, 1866. To this union six
children were born, namely; Mrs. Addie Garrett of Portland, Mrs. G. W.
Brooks of Missoula, Mont, Elmer Cobb of Merrill, Dan Cobb of Hinton,
Archie Cobb who died at Sioux City about six years ago and little Miss
Minnie Cobb who died in infancy. She came to Sioux City in 1868 and
lived there until about 10 years ago when she and her husband came to
Merrill. She died June 21, 1915, at the age 72 years 9 months and 15
days. The funeral was held yesterday and the body taken to Sioux City.
Besides the grief-stricken husband she leaves a host of friends to mourn
her departure.
