The William Combs I need a copy of an obituary for was born May 20 1870 in Kentucky. He
died June 6, 1920 in LaGrange county Indiana.
He married Elizabeth Wells (b. ~1873) and continued living in Kentucky up until about 1907
when the family moved to LaGrange.
Children are Leonard (my g-grandfather), Arba, Fred, Ora, Ova, Saphrona, Ann, Verna,
Earnest, Asa (I met him when I was little), Lloyd, and Homer. Most of the children were
born in Kentucky.
After William's death, Elizabeth and some of the children (Asa for one), moved to
Madison county Indiana sometime in the 1920s and 30s (specifically Anderson, which is
where I am located).
William's parents were most likely Frederick Combs and Lovisa Christian (both born in
Virginia and moved to Morgan County Kentucky). This is what I would hope to confirm with
the obituary.
If anyone can copy this obit for me, let me know of any expenses I need to cover. (If
someone can do this, perhaps you can copy Leonard's obit also...he died shortly after
his father Aug. 28, 1922 ;-)
Thanks for your time, Kent McConnell
