Eunice Hale Waite Cobb (January 27, 1803 – May 2, 1880) was an American writer, public speaker, and activist. Cobb was born in Kennebunk, Maine in 1803 and she married Rev.
Sylvanus Cobb in Hallowell, Maine in 1822.
She was a devoted and efficient assistant to his religious work as a Universalist preacher.
Her eldest son, Sylvanus, Jr., derived much of his noted faculty for story-telling from her practice of telling him stories – often continued from evening to evening, as he sat at her feet when a child.
She wrote hymns, and occasional poems, and obituary lines.
Her faith in God was expressed in all her poetry.
As a public speaker, she was very persuasive and convincing.
She was the first female president of the Ladies Physiological Institute, of Boston, and served it in that capacity for some 15 years.
