Looking at the marriage record again - I think it reads Comb operative. On the same page there were some people who were wallet operatives, and another entry for someone that looked like comb. I guess you would have to find out if there were comb factories in Athol at that time.

I lived in Athol when I was young......and there were no comb factories there, I am quite certain. Maybe he operated some machine that was abbreviated as "comb?" I'm not sure....but I know they didn't make combs in Athol! The main factories made tools, artificial leather and shoes!!! -----Original Message----- From: can-usa-migration-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-usa-migration-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lisa Lepore Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 12:21 AM To: can-usa-migration@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] Guillet m Sweet Looking at the marriage record again - I think it reads Comb operative.
