FRANCES COBER

  Mrs. Frances Cober, wife of Rev. A. A. Cober, pastor of the First Baptist 
Church, of Jeannette, Pa., died suddenly at her home in that town at 4:45 a.m., 
Aug. 1, 1932.  Her death was brought about by an attack of accute indigestion 
with which she became afflicted about eight days before she died.  The 
indigestion brought about a bad condition of the heart, which caused her much 
intense suffering for several days, but last Saturday her condition showed a 
marked improvement, which continued until Sunday afternoon, when it again became 
alarming, and so remained until she died.
  Deceased was born at Mechanicsburg, Lancaster County, Pa., 67 years ago.  In 
her young womanhood she was united in marriage with the Rev. A. A. Cober, who 
long has been a prominent minister of the Baptist denomination.  She was a woman 
of education and refinement, a great help to her husband in his ministerial 
work, and helped him nobly in various fields of labor, including missionary work 
in Purto Rico.  She was extremely popular in all of the places her husband held 
pastorates, and was prominent in all such organizations as made for civic 
betterment, temperance, and the building up of Christ's kingdom on earth.
  Her death came at a time when she and her husband were making preparations to 
leave Jeannette, much to that town's regret, and take up their abode with a son 
in Rochester, N.Y.  Left to mourn her departure are her husband and the 
following named children:  Mrs. F. F. Rockwell, of Lewisburg, Pa.; J. D. Cober, 
of Huntington, W.Va.; Rev. R. Larue Cober, of Rochester, N.Y., and Rev. Kenneth 
I. Cober, of Canandaigua, N.Y.
  The funeral service was held at the First Baptist Church, Jeannette, Tuesday 
evening, the 2nd inst., at 7:30 o'clock.  Interment was made the following day 
at Lewisburg, the early home of Rev. and Mrs. Cober.
  The Rev. Mr. Cober is a brother of Mrs. William H. Baldwin, of Meyersdale, 
where he and his beloved wife were known and held in high esteem.
