Death

ELIZA JANE COMBS

AGED WOMAN DIES OF BURNS

Mrs. Henry Combs of Tomahawk Is Victim Of Burns

Eliza Jane Combs, 85, wife of Henry Combs of Tomahawk, Ky., was burned to death Sunday evening in her home.

Her clothing caught fire at an open fireplace and it was impossible to extinguish the flames before she was fatally burned. She was rushed to a Paintsville hospital and died within a few hours.

She had been a devout member of the Church for several years, and has many friends in both Johnson and Martin counties.

She lived in Johnson County until the last few years, when she moved to Stafford in Martin County. Her untimely death takes one of our most loved and respected women.

She is survived by her husband, one foster daughter Mrs. Claude McFaddin, two brothers, Garland Collins, of Paintsville and Garfield Collins of Staffordsville.

Two sisters Mrs. A. B. Collins of Garrison, Ky., and Mrs. Fred Gullet [sic] of Falcon also survive.

Funeral services were held from the Freewill Baptist Church in Paintsville, Tuesday and burial in the Turner cemetery this county.
