      (Transcribed by Melinda McLemore Strong, December 2008) [4]
    • (Research):The Texas Birth Index also shows that he was the father of Joseph Hardy Whittlesey, born 26 Jan 1941 in Nacogdoches to Henry Adolphus and Maggie Lillian Cobb. Why not listed in his obituary? Was Maggie Cobb the daughter of Eugene C. Cobb and Rosa Dickerson, born ca 1919 in Sabine County?
