GOOD MAN GONE TO HIS REST
Rev. Robert Cobb Passed Away in Eighty-third Year

A good man was called to his reward when Rev. Robert Cobb passed from this
life recently. He was born in 1838 and he served throughout the War Between the
States as a gallant soldier of the Confederacy. He was wounded on the field
of battle while rescuing wounded soldiers. At the close of the war he
returned to his home and entered the ministry of the Baptist church, and for over
fifty years served his denomination and his Lord as a faithful minister of the
Gospel of Christ. He assisted in the organization and constitution of nine
churches and was an able minister, consecrated Christian, a wise counselor and a
great peacemaker. He was well known in both North and South Carolina, and his
labors also extended into Georgia. Rev. Cobb leaves a wife and seven
children, besides a host of friends to mourn his death. He was a great factor in the
advancement, civilization and uplift of the upper section of Oconee, to which
his labors were largely confined. His life was open, his every act and word
denoting the trueness of the Christianity which he professed. It can truly be
said of this good man that "to know him was to love him". He was a kind and
affectionate husband and father, a good citizen and an ideal neighbor. His
remains were laid to rest in the Mountain Grove Cemetery near Long Creek Academy
in the presence of a large assemblage of sorrowing relatives and friends. The
services were conducted by Rev. F.T. Burton and S.R. Cobb. The text "The Lord
is my Shepherd; I shall not want." was used as the basis of the remarks
concerning the deceased and it was a most appropriate and fitting service.
The bereaved wife and children of the deceased have the sympathy of many in
their sorrow. May our Heavenly Father, whom the deceased served so long and so
well keep and guide and protect the sorrowing ones.
"Servant of God, well done. Enter into the joys of eternal rest."
