FLORENCE PARKER COBB

   Mrs. Wade Cobb died at her home in the Franklin community early Tuesday 
morning, September 6, following a stroke of paralysis sustained about ten days 
previously.  She was 67 years of age, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. 
Godwin Parker.  Forty-three years ago, she was married to T.W. Cobb of the 
home community and their life together for nearly half a century had been that 
of the ideal home, mother and father being faithful and consisted members of 
Sycamore Baptist Church, loyal to all of the ties of church, home and the 
neighborhood.  Mrs. Cobb was an exemplary Christian woman of many fine 
qualities and will be greatly missed in the home and community.

    Funeral services were conducted from her late residence Wednesday 
afternoon at 3:30 o’clock by her Pastor, Rev. Kenneth E. Burke, assisted by a 
former Pastor, Rev. L.F. Paulette of Holland.  The scripture lesson was read 
from her old family Bible, carrying entries dating as far back as 1798. 
Interment was made in the churchyard cemetery at Sycamore, the body bearers 
being five deacons of the church: Rufus Darden, Jodie Vaughan, Tyler Edwards, 
L.M. Edwards, and J.B. Beale; W.H. Lankford, Lee Vaughan and J.A. Johnson.

   Besides her husband, Mrs. Cobb is survived by five children, Clarence, 
Herbert and Alfred Cobb of Franklin, Mrs. C.T. Drinkard of Appomattox, Va., 
and Miss Florence Cobb.
