Mr. Cobb was a well known citizen and farmer of this community. His early life was spent in and around Monterey. For a number of years he lived in the home of the late W.A. (Bum) Cunningham, but later he spent several years in the lumber camps of West Virginia, where he was well known and regarded as one of the best teamsters of that day. His home which he established on the Monterey-McDowell highway, was one that afforded welcome to his warm friends. He is survived by his widow. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from his late home, with interment in Strait Creek cemetery. Highland Recorder July 28, 1939 CONFIDENTIALLY (By Erasmus Bluegrass) One night last week we were out late and ran into our old friend John Cobb just as he was piling into his bus. We watched him as he headed toward Jack Mountain and wished him God’s speed. When we learned from Mrs. Dever that the ancient truck had outlived him, it left us feeling very much as if we had run hard into a stone wall. We had a chat with Doc Fox and heard how John had met the final emergency in that same courageous and straightforward spirit that had characterized his life and had won for him the title of “Honest John Cobb.” After listening to Doc Fox we had a feeling that John had, (to use a favorite quotation of J.L.B’s), merely “shuffled off this mortal coil” and was finding himself among the Eternal Hills. Highland Recorder November 11, 1899 John Cobb and Jess Hiner came in from the ‘‘woods,” last week with a crippled foot apiece. The ax had been used too freely by , John and one of Jess’s horses was not particular enough about where he set his foot. Highland Recorder June 15, 1900 John Cobb was badly injured at a lumber camp in West Virginia last week by a falling tree. His shoulder was broken and several ribs fractured.
