He was in fairly good health yes- terday. but this morning while preparing to shave. was seized with a sudden ill., ness. Before physician could be sum- moned, the good man was dead Dr. R. V. Mobley responded to the call, but it was too late. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Lucy l.. Thom of Virginia, two sons, James B. Cobbs, President of the Alabama National Bank and Thom- as Cobbs, of San Antonio, Tex. The re- mains will probably be inferred in Liv- ingston.
 Chancellor. Cobbs was born in Raleigh. N C., in 1926. He came to Alabama in 1S4l. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in Mobile in 1856. In 1880 he was elected Chancellor of the Western Division of Alabama, and so well did he fulfill the duties of that office that he was reelected without opposition in 1886. In 1892 he was again reelected and served until 1S9s His broad knowledge of the law was proverbial throughout Alabama so that for years he was re- garded as one of the foremost figures in his profession.
