A good mother in Israel passed into the great beyond Saturday afternoon, when Mrs. Minerva Cobb, relict of Mr. Richard Cobb, breathed her last. She had been ill only a short while with pneumonia but her advanced age - 87 - precluded hope of her recovery and many relatives, including a brother, Mr. Eli Park, and sister, Mrs. Tabitha Cobb, both of Madison, were present when the end peacefully came. Deceased was Miss Minerva Park, of Madison county, and was married in 1841, to the husband who preceded her to the grave in 1900. Sixty-seven years ago she joined the Christian church and had since been a consistent member. A few Sundays since she was in her accustomed pew, seemingly in the best of health and spirits. She enjoyed the sermon and so told many of her friends. Mrs. Cobb is survived by three children, Mesdames Thos. Phelps, of Richmond, and Betty McKinney, of this place, and Mr. Richard Cobb, of Boyle, and a large number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It is hard for them to give up the good mother and grandmother, but she had been spared to them many long years and now that she is reaping the reward of a well-spent life, they could not wish her back. She was an exceedingly cheerful, happy woman and it was the delight of her children and other relatives to have her with them. Truly a good woman has left her earthly abode and joined the heavenly hosts above where joy and love reign supreme. May her good deeds and pure life be emulated. Rev. D.M. Walker preached an appropriate funeral discourse at the home of Mr. W.M. Bright at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, after which the body was laid to rest beside her husband in Buffalo cemetery. A large crowd of friends and relatives was present and flowers brought by those who loved the Godly woman hid from view the mound that marks her resting place.
