Along with another American who had also operated coaches in Australia and New Zealand he set up Cobb & Co. Ltd. and operated coaches between Port Elizabeth and the Kimberley diamond fields. Cobb died in 1878 in South Africa. The following year his widow returned to Brewster, Massachusetts where she died in 1921. In Australia Cobb's name was sought after by many companies and the coaching business he began spread from Victoria through New South Wales and Queensland. Today the Cobb & Co Coaches business name is still in use on long distance busses and the name stands as an icon in the history of transportation in Australia. bio contributed by-Diane Wright (#47658048) * Cobb-Allen Freeman Annette Augusta Emily Henry Roland Mildred Walter Henry Barbara Douglas *
