Quote in a letter by Charles Edward Grinnell, Daniel Cobb’s grandson, dated 8 Oct 1905:
“Daniel Cobb was born in Maine and when a young man went to Providence and married Ruth Almy and moved to Baltimore, Maryland where he died at the age of 45 after a very active and successful business life and was buried in the Friend’s Burying Ground, where his store now is. His wife is buried by his side.” “He went into real estate to an extant which was probably too speculative or which was at least not sufficiently conservative because at his death his family were not left well off as they had been. I have always heard him spoken of in Baltimore as an able business man whose plans were rather “ahead of the times” or the market, and who died before he could carry them out.”
