with profound sorrow we learn of
the death of DR.. w. H. H. Cobb, Sur
geon of this Camp, who died on the
eight years, after life Of such useful
ness, love for his family, patriotic
devotion to his country and fellow
citizens as few men lived.
Before he attained his majority, in
defense of his country he offered his
life and for four years served faith
fully, both as soldier and surgeon
in the Confederate army, and but few
men who returned to their homes, de-
vastated by the horrors of war, Ia
| bored more faithfully than he in the
upbuilding of the community in which
he lived devoting his talents and en-
ergies to the amelioration of the suf-
ferings of his fellow men, contribut-
ing with a liberal hand to the wants
and needs of those less fortunate
than he, and that, too, without pub
| fishing from the housetops his deeds
of charity, but giving without letting
his left hand know what his right
hand did-therefore,
Resolved 1. That in offering this
tribute to the memory of our dead
cOmrade, we deplore the loss sustain
ed with great grief and unaffected
sorrow, realizing that in his death the
state and community has sustained the
loss of a patriot and a gallant soldier
and Christian gentleman, the medical
fraternity member of the highest or
der and his co-laborers friend in
whom there was no guile.
's2. That we extend to his bereaved
family our heartfelt sympathy and
assure them that our love for him
shall abide to the end.
''3.That a page in our book of rec
ords be set apart, that these resolu-
tions be spread thereon, and that a
copy be sent to- his family and pub
lished in the proceedings of this meet
| ing in our city papers"
