Thank you for replying & the DD of Hanna. Shame it didn't give her maiden name. Hanna & Henry Coomb 7 children were 1 Mary A. b: 1849 2 Marie b: 1855 3 John W. Coomb/ Coombe 1858 The only child that I'm interested in. 4 Rebecca b: 1862 5 Richard b:1869 6 Charles b: 1871 7 Leona S b:1876 These are census dates & names. Don't know which one died before 1909. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to make a comment about the article you mentioned on your post about the murder of Thomas Robert Bagby. It's a shame that what is written & repeated about this tradigy, is the newspaper articles transscribed from testiomy by the perpetrators. The only witnesses. You seldem hear/read the other side of the story . "The truth."

Sturgeon Missouri Leader Thursday May 27, 1909 Pg. 5 Mrs. Hanna Coombe, aged 77 years, died Sunday night at her home in Columbia. She is survived by six children. On Pg. 4 of the same paper/same day was an article that caught my eye because of the Bagby name. I don't know if this is a relative of yours or not, but thought I'd pass it on. If anyone's research centers around Boone, Howard, and/or Randolph Counties, the newspaper abstracts that Sherry has worked on for quite some time is an extremely valuable, informative, and entertaining, research tool. They are VERY affordable and I would highly recommend her work to anyone reading this.
