Obituary: NEW MARKET HERALD, New Market, Iowa, May 12, 1921
Frank M. Combs was born in Morgan County, Ohio on May 8, 1848. In 1863, he with his parents, moved to Illinois where they resided ten years and in 1873 moved onto a farm in Taylor Conty, Iowa. On Nov 14, 1875, Mr Combs was united in marriage to Miss Flory Rbelle Hixson. To this union six daughters were born: Nettie May Rogers, who died at the age of 39 years, Alta Alvena Combs, who died when 7 years old, Ida Viola Young, Bessie M. Cozine, Blanche Ellen Young, and Beulah Olive Fast.
Flory Rbelle Combs died on Feb 6, 1910, and on the 5th day of Dec 1912 Mr Combs and Mrs Marie Eighmy of New Market, Iowa were united in marriage. The latter survives her husband and has done much in making the last years of a useful life comfortable and pleasant.
In the fall of 1906 the family purchased and moved to a farm three miles north of Farmer, S.D., where they resided until in 1916, when Mr Combs, having sold the farm, bought a residence in Spencer and he and wife came to this city where he spent the remainder of his days.
He was one of a family of thirteen children of whom but two brothers and one sister remain living. Spencer, S.D. NEWS

70y 11m 20d. At 3:15 this (Thursday) morning Frank M. Combs passed away at his home in Spencer after an illness of over two months duration, from cancer of the liver and stomach during which time he has been a severe but patient sufferer.
His natural ambition kept him up and around until the past few weeks when he became so weakened from inability to take nourishment that he was obliged to remain confined to his home and bed. The nature of his malady was such that a cure was impossible and the skill of the best physicians has been employed to make his last days as free from suffering and as comfortable as possible. He was a good and true husband, a devoted and loving father and an exemplary citizen, who commanded the respect and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. His sorrowing widow and all his surviving children were at his bedside when the end came and witnessed the passing of a long and useful life--a life that has made the world better for his having lived in it. During the five years he has resided in Spencer he has made many friends who have found him a genial and generous neighbor and all that constitutes a desirable citizen. The funeral will be held from the Baptist church in Spencer on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock after which the remains will be laid to rest in the family burial lot at Alexandria.
Mrs Samuel Bowerman [sic, Barman], sister of the decesed and Elmer Eighmy, Mrs Combs's son, are expected to arrive from New Market, Iowa today to be present at the last sad rites.
