Aunt Polly McCombs Attains 100 Years From: The Lewisville Enterprise Luzon, Texas, November 23, 1927. On October 23, just one month ago, quite a gathering of the relatives and friends of Aunt Polly McCombs met with her at her home in Fisher County in the celebration of her one-hundredth birthday. There were in attendance some three to four hundred people, friends and relatives from various parts of the state; and from New Mexico, Arizona and California. A dinner was provided by her six sons, who were all present, namely; W.L., J.W., C.W. and G. L. of Rotan, S.A. of Luzon, and J.J. of Las Cruces, NM. The combined ages of her sons total a little more than 400 years. Mother, you must be getting old when you think of the ages of your boys. But no, those boys don't see it that way. They think of Mother as being in the prime of life, when she used to call them around her knees and give to them the good advice that only a mother can, and they have never forgotten the teachings of Mother. Long, trying years have passed, but still the memory of that teaching is engraved on their hearts, and they only think of Mother as they have always know her, as their best friend, and can only hope that her life may be prolonged for many more such occasions as that of October 23, 1927. Mother was born in Chattanooga, Tenn., October 23, 1827. She was married to John M. McCombs at Ringgold, GA, May 29, 1845. They emigrated to Texas in 1852 and lived at Round Grove, near Lewisville until 1889 when they moved to Fisher County where Father - God rest his soul - died April 29, 1898. It is not given to many men to be able to write of the celebration of their mother's one hundredth birthday, and therefore we fee that we are indebted very greatly to the Supreme Ruler for having prolonged her and our lives that we were able to witness this event so uncommon in the lives of men. Of those that did us the honor to be present from your city were Mr. and Mrs. G.T. Boyd and two sons, Joe and Garland, and a daughter; Sam Sigler and son, Fred. Mrs. Matilda Minor, Dale Purnell and son, Mrs. Nannie Holley and Arthur Cozby. >From Denton came the Honorable John Boyd, another cousin of ye writer, and who was making his first visit to this part of the state. We appreciated very much John coming, for it was the first time in nearly forty years that we had met him. John expressed himself as highly pleased with his visit, and we are hoping to see him as well as the others on a similar occasion. October 23, 1928. One of the boys, Note: Aunt Polly's name was Mary Francis Sigler McCombs. She was the daughter of Jacob Sigler and Rachel Worthington. Her husband was John Mathis (Mac) McCombs son of William McCombs and Mary Polly Nowlin.
