Samuel W. Cobb, farmer, Caledonia, Ark. One of the neatest farms in Jackson Township is that owned by Mr. Cobb, containing 240 acres, with 150 acres cleared, 100 acres of which he cleared himself. It is admirably adapted to the raising of cotton, or in fact almost anything and is a fine tract of land. Mr. Cobb was born in Saline County, Ark., in 1847 and was the fourth in a family of twelve children born to Rev. Samuel T. and Malinda (Clement) Cobb, both natives of Alabama. The paternal grandfather removed from Tennessee to Alabama at an early day, then in 1842, removed to Arkansas, settling in Saline County, and in 1852 removed to Union County. Later he moved to Mississippi and died in that State about 1870. Rev. Samuel T. Cobb was a Baptist minister, beginning his ministerial duties in Saline County, and after his arrival at Union County, he constantly preached in this and the adjoining Union Parish in Louisiana, until his death on January 12, 1888. He assisted in the organization of many churches in this county, and here made his home for some time. In connection with his ministerial duties he carried on farming to some extent. In 1867 he removed to Union Parish, La., where his death occurred. He was always known as one of the firmest and truest of friends, and the most upright of men. The mother is still living in Louisiana. Samuel W. Cobb brought up to a knowledge of farm life, very naturally chose that occupation as his calling in life, when it became necessary for him to select some permanent industry. He received a fair education in the common schools, went with his parents to Louisiana in 1876, and was there married to Miss Martha J. Morgan, daughter of G. M. Morgan. He remained in Louisiana until 1872, and then returned to Caledonia, Union County, where he settled on his present fine farm. He makes a success of tilling the soil, and is one of the substantial men of the county. During the year 1889 he made twenty bales of cotton on thirty six acres. His union resulted in the birth of nine children, William Branch, Samuel Taylor, Sarah Lucinda, Luquinea Olivia, Lena Malinda, George Morgan, Carrie Ethel, Lee Wharton and James Wilson. Mr. Cobb is deeply interested in educational matters, and contributes generously to the support of schools, etc. The family are members of the Baptist Church.
