October, 1916.

   Their children are Robb W. Cobb of Norfolk and Mrs. W.P. Lipscomb of 
Suffolk.  Mrs. Cobb is also survived by two grandchildren, Esther Louise Cobb 
of Norfolk and Dicky Lipscomb of Suffolk.  She leaves two nephews, A. Marshall 
and George D. Brownley of Norfolk, and two nieces, Mrs. W. Wright Smith of 
Franklin and Mrs. Frank A. Holladay of Suffolk.

   Funeral rites were conducted from Emmanuel Episcopal Church here yesterday

years.  The Rev. Herbert N. Tucker of Suffolk conducted the services, and 
burial was made in the family plot in Poplar Spring Cemetery.  The pallbearers
