  Notes from Cuz Glenn Perry

  Mary Jane's father, George (nicknamed "Son") Cobb, died of pneumonia before she was born. Mary's mother, Lucy (Smith) Cobb, gave Mary to her (Lucy's) parents, Bardy and Becky (Hale) Smith. Jim &Mary Jane(Cobb) Tedders were our nearly-next-door neighbors in Tedders, KY. I remember seeing people going up the road to their house to have Mary blow into their childrens' mouths to cure the thrash. Some people believe that a person who has never seen their father, has this power.
