From Ontario Repository & Messenger 20 January 1869
Died, in this village, on the 9th inst., Mrs. Cornelia P. Cobb, aged 65 years. Mrs. Cobb, and her surviving sisters, Mrs. W. W. Gorham of this place, and Mrs. Peter Townsend, of New York City, were the daughters of Jasper Parrish, one of the earliest settlers of Canandaigua, with whose remarkable history all our citizens are familiar. The loss of her husband in 1841, by a terrible accident on Lake Erie, was soon followed by loss of health; and for many years her life has been a rare example of God's dealing with those "whom he loveth", and of the grace which can sustain the spirit and make it triumph over the acutest bodily sufferings.
