In Memory of
Col.
John Addison Cobb
Born 5th January 1783
Died 28th November 1855
An affectionate husband,
A kind, fond parent,
A public spirited citizen,
A friend to the friendless,
A consistent Christian,
He lived:
Wept by his family,
Mourned by his friends,
Respected by all,
Without an enemy,
In the triumphs of faith,
He died.
Plot: Cobb-Jackson, East Hill |
