   DIED
   
  Mrs. Amanda Cobbs, an old lady who lived with her son, Mr. Boyce Cobbs, in the
southern part of the county, died on the 17th inst., aged 70. The deceased had 
been a resident of the county over thirty years, having come to Freestone with 
her husband, Charles Cobbs, in 1868 from Itawamba county, Mississippi. Her husband
died in this county about fifteen years ago. Mrs. Cobbs was a good Christian lady,
and a member of the New Providence Baptist Church. She was an earnest, zealous 
member, punctual in attendance at church and always willing to co-operate in
church work. She leaves to mourn the loss of a good old mother, two sons and three
daughters all of whom are grown. Her remains were interred last Friday in the 
Tacker graveyard, Rev. A. B. Tedder officiating.
