Wyoming County Herald, dated June 25, 1897
Married but two weeks
Mr. Cobbett age about 57 years, died in Sandusky last Friday of heart disease. He had been married only 2 weeks before his death. Cobbett and his bride had just retired and as his wife reclined on his arm he was telling her how happy he was, when he sat up in bed to expectorate. He did so twice and then fell forward to the floor. The wife ran to a neighbor's house in her night clothes and secured assistance but her companion died before help could reach him. Dr. Foilet held an inquest at which the above facts were disclosed.
