C. Cobb passed away at his home in this city last week, Thursday night. He had suffered some time with diabetes but was up and about until a few days before his death. At the end pneumonia and other complications set in. The funeral services were held at the Congregational church Monday afternoon and were in charge of Rev. C. E. Cushman. Interment took place in Eldora. Osgood C. Cobb was born in Algona, Iowa, February 27, 1870. At the age of three he was taken by his parents to Charles City, Iowa, where they lived until 1889, when Mr. Cobb went to Eldora as an apprentice in a jewelry store. On October 27, 1892 he was united in marriage with Miss Mabel J. Hall. To this union were bore three children, Dean, Gerald, and Eleanor all of whom with the mother survive. The deceased is also survived by a sister in St. Paul and a brother in Miles City, Montana. In 1894, Mr. and Mrs. Cobb came to Iowa Falls, where Mr. Cobb was manager of the Procter Bros. jewelry store. Later Mr. Cobb bought the business and the stock and has continued as owner for a quarter of a century or more. He has always conducted an up-to-date jewelry store and carried one of the best stocks in this part of the state. His conduct of business was always above reproach and the general public had confidence in him and held him in high esteem. Mr. Cobb was active in community affairs. He served on the school board and was a member of that body when the new high school was erected. He was a member of the library board at the time of his death and filled various positions of his responsibility in the city. Mr. Cobb was a member of various branches of the Masonic fraternity and the Knights of Pythias and the Rotary club. The writer has known Mr. Cobb for thirty years and considered him a man of high character, of good business ability, of dependability, of neighborly kindness. He did as nearly right as he knew how and was universally liked and esteemed. He joined the Congregational church when fifteen years of age and was an active member at the time of his death. He was an exceptionally kindhearted man and felt kindly toward his fellow man. He was a man of good judgement and irreproachable habits. The community has a deep feeling of affection for the departed and of sympathy for the family. It is as if an old neighbor and friend, true to each of us throughout the years, had gone. Why he should be taken in the middle afternoon of life we cannot answer. Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the Northwind's breath. And stars to set; --- but all, Thou hast seasons for thine own, O death. Still what is worth while remains --- friendliness, kindness, and memories. The living are the only dead; The dead live, --- nevermore to die; And often when we mourn them fled, They never were so nigh.
