My great Grandfather was Osgood C. Cobb, he was listed with his family in the 1880 Federal Census Floyd County, Iowa, in Charles Township... I believe this is the same as St. Charles, or Charles City??? The family was rooming with the Armor Palmer family.

The listing reads:
Armor E. PALMER Self M M W 29 IL Occ: Farmer Fa: NY Mo: IL
Alice M. PALMER Wife F M W 26 OH Occ: Keeping House Fa: PA Mo: OH
Nathan H. PALMER Son M S W 5 IA Fa: IL Mo: OH
Miranda M. PALMER Dau F S W 3 IA Fa: IL Mo: OH
J. Elston PALMER Son M S W 10M IA Fa:IL Mo: OH
George N. COBB Other M M W 34 WI Occ: Farmer Fa: VT Mo: VT
Sarah E. COBB Other F M W 28 IL Occ: Keeping House Fa: MA Mo: MA
Martha L. COBB Other F S W 11 IA Occ: At School Fa: WI Mo: IL
Osgood P. COBB Other M S W 10 IA Occ: At School Fa: WI Mo: IL
George F. COBB Other M S W 6 IA Occ: At School Fa: WI Mo: IL
Birdie L. COBB Other F S W 5 IA Occ: At School Fa: WI Mo: IL
Martha K. PUTNEY Mother F W W 74 MA Occ: At Home Fa: MA Mo: MA

If anyone can help me out at all with this family, I would greatly appreciate it.

Osgood C. Cobb married Mabel Julia Hall (of Hardin County). He was a jeweler in Iowa Falls, Hardin County, Iowa. He and his wife raised 3 children in Iowa Falls, Deane, Gerald, and Elinor.
O. C. Cobb and his wife, Mabel Julia Hall Cobb are buried in the Eldora Cemetary, Hardin County, Iowa.

My grandfather was Gerald Nelson Cobb, he is buried in Kelso, Cowlitz County, Washington.

I can't seem to get beyond this family. I would like to know Sarah E. Cobb family name, I believe Martha K. Putney may have been her mother...
