HARRY COBB DIES OF HEART ATTACK

   Harry Cotton Cobb, Sr., 48, husband of Mrs. Mildred Traylor Cobb and son of 
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence J. Cobb, died suddenly this (Thursday) morning at 9:15 
o'clock of a heart attack. 

   Mr. Cobb, who resided in Franklin at 508 W. Second Avenue, was in the 
office of Dr. Ernest B. Gatten, Jr., 106 Third Avenue, for an eye examination 
when the fatal seizure occurred.  In response to a query by Dr. Gatten as to 
his health, Mr. Cobb is said to replied, "I've never felt better in my life." 
A moment later he suffered the heart attack and was dead before medical 
doctors arrived on the scene.  Mr. Cobb had suffered a heart attack some weeks 
earlier but had recovered sufficiently to resume his duties with Camp Division 
of Union Bag-Camp Paper Corp., by whom he had been employed for the past 
several years. 

   The deceased was a member of the Franklin Baptist Church and of the Bruner 
Bible class. 

   Besides his wife and parents he is survived by two sons, Harry Cotton Cobb, 
Jr., and Alfred Paul Cobb, and one daughter, Deborah Ruth Cobb, all of 
Franklin; one sister, Mrs. Albert Wade of Franklin; and two brothers, James 
Clarence Cobb and Raymond Joseph Cobb, both of Franklin. 

   Pending funeral arrangements, the remains were taken to the funeral home of 
W.J.M. Holland & Sons.
