Grandville Combs, son of John R. Combs and Ida Clark, was born Feb. 1, 1896; and departed this life April 25, 1974 at the age of 78 yrs. 2 mo. 24 days, at Skaggs Community Hospital in Branson, Mo., after several years of illness.
He was married young in life to Lottie Tharpe of Okla. To this union was born six children: Ray Combs who gave his life for the freedom of our country in Aug. 1943; Viola Rossen and Mildred Hess of Rupert, Idaho; Ernest Combs of Bradleyville, Mo., Pearline Scott of Yakima, Wash; and Dorothy Maxine who died in infancy.
Grandville was saved years ago and united with the New Mansion General Baptist Church at Union Flat and remained a member until his death.
After the death of his first wife he again was united in marriage Jan. 17, 1940 to Gladys Maggard of Hercules, Mo. To this union was born seven children, Garland Eugene of Hollister, Mo., Evon Reese of Taneyville, Mo., Junior Combs of Tarkio, Mo., David of Burgman, Ark., Roger of Taneyville, Mo., Theressa Cummings of Taneyville., and Benny Joe of the home.
Grandville was ill and suffered pain for many years, but was patient through it all.
He was a good neighbor and showed hospitality to everyone who visited his home. He is sadly missed by his family and friends and will be for some time to come.
Thank God for the Christian hope and that the Lord knows best. He giveth and He also taketh away.
