    <dcterms:coverage><![CDATA[Mary McKinley Cobb was born on December 30th, 1844 in Lexington, Georgia. [1] Shortly thereafter, her parents, William McKinley and Patience Barrow McKinley, moved to Milledgeville where she finished elementary school [1] and then advanced to go to the Lucy Cobb Institute which was a secondary school in Athens for young women, founded by General Thomas R.R. Cobb. [2]
The Institute’s foundation was built upon Mildred Lewis Rutherford’s significant advancements for the United Daughters of the Confederacy and historian work about the Civil War and the Old South. [2]
Mary McKinley Cobb wed Judge Howell Cobb on May 22nd, 1885 after his time as a Confederate army captain. [1] Cobb spent her days as an active missionary for the Presbyterian Church, teaching Sunday school, [1] and writing poetry. [2] Many of her poems were published and all of her works centered on God and her strong faith. [3]  
Her husband Howell Cobb passed after forty-four years of marriage and she passed after a long-battled illness, one day after what would have been their sixty-second anniversary. [1] Four sons, two daughters, six grandchildren, and one great grandchild survived her at the time. [1] 
Her death made the front page of the Banner-Herald in 1927 with the headline, “PROMINENT ATHENS WOMAN, DIES MON.” [1] Her obituary spoke strongly to her high virtues of Southern womanhood and embodiment of the Old South. [1]]]></dcterms:coverage>
