04 Feb 1873 Paris [Monroe Co], MO. Newspaper article.
Gen. Leslie Combs, of Kentucky, it is said, has taken a bath every morning of his life for the last twenty years, and has never worn an overcoat during this time. He is eighty years old, and hale and hearty…He is a borther [sic] of Mr. Fielding Combs of this county, who is in his eighty-third year, and who hasn't bathed every morning for twenty years, and wears an overcoat, especially on such days as last Tuesday.

FIRE
We learn that the dwelling house on the farm of Mr. Fielding Combs, some six miles North of this place, was destroyed by fire, last Thursday night. The farm, we understand had been rented to Mr. Wm. BEAUCHAMP, whose father had taken a wagon load of household goods to that place that day, and who remained in the house that night alone. During the night sometime the house took fire, and the old gentleman being rather hard of hearing, was not awakened by the fire until the roof was almost ready to fall in, when he made his escape through a window, not being able, under his excitement, to open the door. The house was a new frame building, having been erected but a few years since, by J. S. Combs, who, we understand, had traded it to his father, Mr Fielding Combs.--The fire is supposed to have originated from a defective flue. We know nothing as to the extent of the loss sustained."

Another Pioneer Gone
It becomes our painful duty to record the death of another of our old and valued citizens, in the person of Mr. Fielding Combs, who departed this life at 9 o'clock, on Thursday last, in the 83rd year of his age. A more honorable, upright citizen, our county did not possess. His word was as good as his bond. He was a brother of the venerable Gen Leslie Combs, of Kentucky, with whom he served with great gallantry in the war of 1812, and both were taken prisoners at Gen. Dudley's defeat at the battle of River Raisia. He removed to Missouri from Kentucky in 1819, and settled in Ralls county, when there was but a single inhabitant on the ground now occupied by the city of Hannibal, and that was the person who kept the ferry at that point.--From thence he moved to Monroe county in 1839, and settled upon the farm he occupied at the time of his death, some five miles north of this place. He had been a member of the Presbyterian church some 45 years. He died after a very short illness. Was taken with cholera-morbus on the Saturday previous to his death, from which he partially recovered. On Wednesday night he was attacked with paralysis of the throat, was unable to swallow anything, and never afterwards spoke. Thus has passed away one of the pioneer settlers of Missouri, one who shared largely in the trials and hardships incident to frontier life. He acted well his part in life, and died respected by all who knew him. He leaves a rich legacy to his devoted children--that of an exemplary life, strict integrity and a spotless character. “He rests from his labors and his works do follow him.”
(Combs Researcher Janice Pearson)
According to the History of Randolph and Macon Counties, MO, National Historical Company, 1884,-Pg 1118: "Fielding Combs, wife Mary (FOREMAN) Combs and son, Benjamine who was born in 1816, left Clark County, Ky and arrived in Ralls County, MO in 1819."
According to his War of 1812 pension file (SC-2737), Fielding COOMBS died 4 Sep 1873, served in John C MORRISON'S Kentucky Militia, lived in Monroe Co, MO. He and his brother, Leslie Combs, were s/o Benjamin & Sarah RICHARDSON Combs of Clark Co, KY.
