Richard Collier Cobb married Mary Sicard. Richard was a dear little boy, all of four when Mama and Daddy were married and Daddy said he felt as though he was his own son - As he grew older, he was up to great tricks as sliding down the ladder with Rollie for an easy escape, so he was packed off to a Webb School in Bell Buckle, Tennessee - a private school for boys. This school had a reputation which was similar to Marines! Send me a boy, and I will return you a man - How long Richard stayed there, I do not recall - He ran away and joined the Navy - Why, had not his brother been in the Army? So, with his bell-bottomed trousers, he was a delight to the girls in each port, of that I am sure - He served his duty well, whatever it was, because you know damn well, no Cobb could possibly shirk - When he was released from the service, he met a most beautiful girl, Mary Sicard, and they were married by her Catholic Priest in her Catholic Church - All the women loved her Priest because he reminded them of the Cobb men. He kissed them all and loved Mr. Sicard's wine served at the reception - Richard and Mary lived in Vernon for a short time and Mary proved to be a real favorite. Nanny Cobb had lost her contact with the Convent but she had not forgotten and she was so proud to have a Catholic daughter-in-law - Pa Cobb used to chuckle and tell how he would say, "Mary, what are you going to have for supper?" He would raise his voice and attempt to imitate Mary and say "Soup" - They, too, soon moved away, but would return frequently for visits and always arrived at the most ungodly hours - My! reminds me of some trips we used to take when Hugh and I were young. ²
