She was a sister of Mace Combs of near Purdy, one our oldest citizens, and of the late Wheeling Combs of Butterfield, and Mrs. Thos. Clark of near Pioneer, MO. Rev. Taylor of the Hard Shell Baptist Church, conducted services at the Madry Cemetery near Purdy, where the remains were interred Tuesday. A grand old mother and citizen has gone to her blessed reward for a well spent life on earth. Her many splendid virtues are worthy of imitation.
