Lucy M. Cobb papers, 1928-1965 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25300766

The collection includes personal and professional papers of Cobb including family and genealogical correspondence, genealogical notes, primary drafts of poems, plays, children's stories, and articles by her, and the libretto (by Cobb) and music for an unpublished operetta, "The Pirate and the Governor's Daughter." Mary Louisa Cobb (1899-1976), Lucy Cobb's niece in Chapel Hill, N.C., was her most frequent family correspondent; her letters discuss family matters and report on people and events in Chapel Hill. Family correspondence also deals with Lucy's well-being as she ages, discussing dilemmas faced by an older, single woman in the late 1950s and 1960s. The Oates, Wyatt, Royster, and Whitfield families are prominent in the genealogical materials.
