G. K. Combs, dealer in real estate, residing at Allerton, is a native of Ohio, in which State he was born in November, 1831, his parents living there till their death. He was reared and educated in his native State, and was there united in marriage to Miss Sarah Byers, and to this union have been born six children - Anna Maggie, Mary Alice, E. L., J. B., Clara Lizzie and Llew Ella. Mr. Combs has been a resident of Iowa since the spring of 1865, when he located in Cedar County, living there till he came to Wayne County in 1868. On coming to Wayne County he settled on unimproved land, in Warren Township, which he improved and cultivated. In 1880 he sold his farm, purchasing another near Allerton. In 1885 he became a resident of Allerton, having sold his second farm, since which time he has been engaged in the real-estate business. During a residence of about eighteen years in Wayne County he has become well and favorably known, and by his many manly qualities has gained many friends.
