Provided to JWK by Combs Researcher Pauline Bauer Combs for the Combs Group, excerpts from a letter written by Minnie Jane COMBS and given to Pauline Bauer Combs by Lawrence and Ellen PRIEST Combs of Peru, Nemaha Co, NE in July 1983 (I, Joyce Kahre have not included the opening paragraph or the final paragraphs as they are oral history passed along and to my knowledge not proven, in fact, some say disproven). Capitalization of surnames added:
"Minnie Jane COMBS was born September 23, 1874 in Corning, Holt Co, MO to Monroe Jackson COMBS and Julie ROBERTS Combs. Monroe J. COMBS' parents were Jefferson Lee COMBS and Jane SWAN Combs.
