William Ervin Comstock was born to Elonzo Ervan Comstock and Nancy Jane Davis Comstock on Dec 5 1888 in Greenfield Missouri. He was the eldest of three children. His younger brother Elonzo Alexander Comstock came 7 years later and a sister was born and died in 1895.

On May 5 1908 in Neosho, Newton County, Missouri, William Ervan Comstock married Mary Rose Wolf. Together they had 4 daughters:

Hellen Juanita Comstock July 14 1908-Dec 21 1918
Pauline Hope Comstock (Crowder) Dec 19 1910-Jan 4 1994
Mildred Elaine Comstock (Hampton) Jan 10 1914-Mar 24 1971
Margaret "Margie" Rosa Comstock (Parks) Nov 25 1916-Feb 7 2003

William Ervin Comstock was one of 7 to die in his family and wife's family in the 1918 flu epidemic. Will died the day before his wife on Dec 1. His daughter Juanita would die 20 days later.

Something that my uncle Jewel Parks(Aunt Margie's husband) told me was that Aunt Margie's parents had a buggy with rubber ties instead of just wooden wheels. And he said in those days, you needed to "have money" to afford rubber wheels on your wagon.
