All I have is this Glo. JB Combs, Spencer ~ With a sad and lonely heart I will try to write an obituary of my beloved husband, Spencer Combs, born January 18, 1880, in Knott County .He was the son of Andrew and Nancy Combs. He had 11 brothers, Sam, Watson, Cullen, Simeon, Riley, Melvin, Ira, Andrew, Mat, Alvin and Doctor. His father and mother and 8 brothers preceded him in death- He married Cordelia Amburgey, daughter of Hiram and Dicie Amburgey. To them was born three children, Carl Combs, and Mrs. Fred Gioza, both of Phoenix, Arizona, and Mrs. Clyde West, who preceded in him death. Cordelia died about 1912. He lived alone with his children 10 years and then married Polly Engle. To them was born eleven children, 7 girls and 4 boys. Edgar, Washington, D. C; Oliver, Everett and Pearlie all of Dayton, Ohio; Mrs. Allen Budd and Mrs. Gilbert Edwards of Marshall, Va ; Carson, Ula Vale, Alpha Louise and Ortha Lida Combs all of Carr Creek, Ky. He was a good citizen, loved his neighbors and was loved and respected by all who knew him. He joined the Old Regular Baptist Church and was baptized at the Old Carr School house in 1947. He prayed most of the time while he was sick and one night he dreamed he was in the church house in the side next to the road and there was something in the other side trying to get to him to hang him some way and he was scared and tried to get away from Jr. He went to the door and it opened itself so he went out and there was a light shining from Heaven brighter than day, shining out the road that he could see to walk away from whatever was after him, so he got away from it through that light. He died the 16th and would have been 72, the 18th. I did. all I could for him and regret, that I couldn't do more. He left us to mourn his loss, though I believe our loss is Heavens gain. I have great hope that I will meet him in the glory world and am praying that our children will join us up there, where I believe my darling little daughter that preceded him in death is resting now.
