been 12 years since you've posted, and I as well pop on and off. lost papers on obits. but yesterday and today was trying again. W.L Cobb is also (according to a census and obits) my Great Great Grandfather. I also saw in obit that the name Mrs. B Hartzog of Palestine, TX was a daughter to M.E. Cobb, wife of W.L. Cobb. This side of the family is now via the female side. Their daughter Carrie Louise Cobb (Mrs Hartzog's sister) married James F Sullivan which their daughter Mildred is my grandma. I haven't been able to find anything else at this point. I know that M.E. Cobb died in Monroe, LA at her daughter Mrs. C.N. Jones according to obit that was in Winnfield, La. other daughters, Mrs Hartzog , Mrs. Katie Garner, winnfield La. Miss Lottie Cobb, Monroe, La. No mention of the son I saw on the 1880 census who was J.M. Cobb.
