Bob:

I have just spent 15 minutes looking through my '72 Joy cookbook and
can't find any reference to cobblers at all. Blackberry added no
information, either.

A 60's Fanny Farmer cookbook says:

Prepa
2 cups fruit or berries

Add:
few grains salt
sugar to taste
1 egg well beaten or 1 Tbsp. quick tapioca or flour

Spread in baking dish, dot with butter.

Spread over the top:
cottage pudding or shortcake batter

(I looked at those reacipes and they are bsaically a yellow cake
batter and a standard shortcake dough.)
