I've "rescued" a group of three photographs belonging to the COBBS Family.
The first is a photograph of Harden Lake COBBS which was taken at the Harry
E. Wallace Studio in Mobile, Alabama. The photograph appears to have been
taken in the 1870's or 1880's with Harden appearing to be about 9 years old
at the time it was taken.
The second photograph is one of Madge COBBS which was taken at the
Fredrick's Studio in New York City, NY. This photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Madge likely in her teens or 20's at
the time. The third photograph is also one of Madge COBBS which was taken
at the Swift Studio in Mobile, AL. This photograph appears to have been
taken in the 1880's with Madge likely in her early teens at the time.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information
regarding this family:
Harden or Hardin Lake COBBS was b. 1 Jun 1869 in Mobile, AL to parents James
T. COBBS (b. 1831) and Margarette C. LAKE (b. 1836-d.1914). Harden or
Hardin was one of four children born to this couple including, Liza Lake;
Daniel Boone; Mary L. "Maggie"; and Harden or Hardin Lake COBBS.
Harden or Hardin married Maud Elizabeth LEAK (1873-1950) on 14 apr 1897 in
Monroe County GA. Harden died in Atlanta, GA on 30 Nov 1929.
