GLADYS HUTCHINS COBB

   Gladys Hutchins Cobb, 11-year-old daughter of Herbert G. Cobb of Franklin, 
died in Parrish Memorial Hospital Portsmouth, early Tuesday morning after an 
illness of only a few days.  Developing blood poison from some unknown cause, 
the little girl was taken to the Portsmouth hospital last Thursday night by 
Mr. and Mrs. Cobb where she lingered until Tuesday morning just after 
midnight, medical science availing nothing in checking the malady.

   She was the daughter of Mr. Cobb and his first wife, who was Miss Gladys 
Hutchins of Portsmouth and who died here 11 years ago when Gladys was born. 
She was a sweet and interesting child, with a good record in school, and known 
and appreciated in her church as a girl of unusual consecration for her tender 
years.  A faithful attendant upon church services: always in her place in the 
Junior Department of the Sunday school, and one of the most active and useful 
members of the Junior B.Y.P.U., her character thus early was shaping itself 
into abundant promise of a beautiful life.  The lovable character and amiable 
disposition of the little girl makes the time and nature of her going the more 
tragic and enlists the genuine sympathy of all of our people for the members 
of her family in their bereavement; to her father, step-mother and one 
brother, Herbert, Jr. to all of whom she was devoted, and to her other 
intimate friends, young and old, who sorrow with them in their grief.

   Services were held from the home on the Franklin-Courtland Highway 
Wednesday afternoon conducted by Rev. R.D. Stephenson, her pastor, assisted 
by Rev. E. Norfleet Gardner of Dunn, N.C.  Mrs. R.P. Rawls sang "Living for 
Jesus," and interment was made in Poplar Spring Cemetery, the body bearers 
being Adolph Cutchin, Garland Benton, Jordan Rountree, Harry Cobb, James Cobb 
and Herbert Councill, Jr.
