Bio: Lieutenant William Henry Harrison Cobb, M. D., of Goldsboro, a
veteran of the Confederate States service, was born in Wayne
county in 1841, and prepared for college at the famous Bingham's
school in Orange county. He was graduated in medicine at the
university of Pennsylvania, March 14, 1861, and then returning to
his native State, enlisted for her defense, April 16th, as a
private in the Goldsboro Rifles.

After about a month's service at Fort Macon he joined the Second
regiment, North Carolina troops, Col. Charles C. Tew, and was at
once appointed sergeant-major. On October 14th following, he was
commissioned second lieutenant of Company D, and on February 20,
1863, was transferred to the medical service, and commissioned
assistant surgeon, provisional army, in which capacity he
remained with his regiment until nearly the end of the struggle.

About two weeks before the surrender he was transferred to the
Twentieth regiment, Benning's Georgia brigade, Longstreet's
corps, with which he was paroled at Appomattox. While an officer
of the line he was under fire of gunboats on Potomac creek, and
at Fort Fisher in 1862, and participated in the Seven Days'
battles before Richmond, and Fredericksburg.

After the Seven Days' battles he was detailed to care for the
wounded at Richmond, and before he could return to the army was
disabled for several weeks with typhoid fever. After his
appointment as assistant surgeon he was under fire in the
performance of his duties at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the
Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Second Cold Harbor, Winchester and
Cedar Creek, on the Petersburg lines, and the retreat
to Appomattox.

Surgeon Cobb had three brothers equally devoted to the Southern
cause, and their united record is one not often equaled in
patriotic devotion and usefulness. John P., now living at
Brooksville, Fla., was a gallant officer of the Second regiment,
served as colonel during the last year of the war, and lost a leg
at Winchester September 19, 1864; Rev. N. B. Cobb, now residing
in Sampson county, was a chaplain and colporteur in the army of
Northern Virginia, and Bryan W. Cobb, now residing in Pender
county, held the rank of major in the Second regiment.

Dr. W. H. H. Cobb is ex-president of the Medical society of the
State of North Carolina, a member of the State board of medical
examiners and State medical examiner for the Royal Arcanum.
