Notes - Allen Monroe Cobb died on 3 October 1929 in a truck accident (brake
failure) on Yarnell Hill south of Prescott, Arizona, and is buried in
the Prescott Cemetery. Allen was the only living child of John and
Rebecca Cobb. He did have a sister; however she's not shown on the
1880 census, so I assume she died young. Prior to his death, Allen
Monroe Cobb was in the trucking business with his youngest son,
William Cobb, hauling between Prescott and Phoenix for the most part.
Allen Monroe Cobb married Susie Shackelford on 4 July 1883 in her
parents' home in Kerrville, Texas. He was 22 and she was 16. Susie
was the daughter of Thomas B. and Elizabeth (Huffman) Shackelford.
Susie was born about 1867 in Texas. She died on 13 July 1947 in
Bakersfield, California.
