Robert Anderson Cosby1

b. 2 February 1855, d. 13 November 1941
Family
Father*John Cosby1
Mother*Mary __?__1
Birth*2 February 1855Robert Anderson Cosby was born on 2 February 1855 in Fredonia, Crawford County, Indiana.1 
Marriage*1883He married, as her second husband, Mrs. Sophia Jane (Smith) Bass about 1883.1,2 
Children*1900 On the 1900 census, Robert's wife Sophia reported she had given birth to nine children, six of whom were living. Four children, all with the Cosby surname and born after the couple's marriage in 1883, were enumerated with the couple that year. All four were reported to have survived Robert in his 1941 obituary, which also stated that four children had been born of his union with his first wife. From this information, we believe it safe to think that from Sophia's first marriage, Florence Bass and one of her siblings were living in 1900 and that three of Sophia's Bass children from her first marriage had died before the 1900 census. So... Bottom line, Sophia and Robert had four children together, and Sophia with her first husband had five children together.2,3 
(Husband) Death1907Robert became a widower when Sophia Jane (Smith) Bass Cosby died about 1907 at about age 47.1 
Marriage*1911He married second, as her third husband, Mrs. Mary E. (Jones) Pace Anspach, daughter of Thomas Jones and Mary Jane Curtis, about 1911 in Crawford County, Indiana.1,4 
(Husband) Death12 February 1934Robert became a widower for the second time when Mary Elizabeth (Jones) Pace Anspach Cosby died on 12 February 1934 at age 69.4
