25 Jan 1980 Obituary of Rufus Edgar COMBS (Obit furnished by Combs researcher Emily Siemens Combs. Transcribed and posted by Combs researcher Sharon Kaasa)
Rufus Edgar COMBS, 92, of Bolivar [Polk Co], Missouri, died in Springfield, Missouri, Friday, January 25, 1980. He was born July 1, 1887, in a log cabin near Mount Airy, Surry County, North Carolina. In 1900, he moved to a homestead farm in West Texas and in 1905 to the Oklahoma Panhandle to prove up a homestead farm.
Leaving the farm as a young man, he became a Depot Agent for the Rock Island Railroad in Wellsford [Pratt Co], Kansas. While in Wellsford, he opened a bicycle and motorcycle shop. After marriage to Ruth STARKEY, he moved his business and new wife to Dodge City [Ford Co], Kansas where he was a pioneer businessman. The bicycle shop became the Combs Automotive Company which supplied parts, equipment and services to Western Kansas, Eastern Colorado, and Northwest Oklahoma.
While remaining active in the management of the business, he semi-retired in 1939 and began farming and ranching again. His farming, ranching, and buying, selling or trading real estate moved him to Louisiana, Eastern Kansas, Missouri, Colorado and West Virginia. In 1958 he settled in Boliver, Missouri, where he remained active in many interests until the Lord called him home.
He was an active member of the Christian Church for many years, serving as an Elder and Teacher in Dodge City, and supporting the Church in every way as he moved about the country. His later years were spent in support of the Cookson Hills Christian School, Siloam Springs [Benton Co], Arkansas, which was established to help children in need of a Christian home.
He is preceded in death by his first wife, Ruth STARKY-nee Combs, one son, Paul Melvin, one grandson, Wesley and three great-grandchildren.
He is survived by his second wife, Mamie Ide McNUTT Combs, two sons, Jay E. COMBS of Dodge City, Kansas, and E. Frank COMBS of Rogers [Benton Co], Arkansas. Three daughters, Janell L. O'Keefe of Dodge City, Kansas, Joyce E. Dillon and Norma Jean Lenz, both of rural Boliver, Missouri, seventeen grandchildren and twenty great-grandchildren.
Funeral services are to be held in the Butler Funeral Home, Boliver, Missouri, at 11 A.M. January 29, 1980. Graveside services and internment will be at 11 A.M. Wednesday, January 30, 1980 in the country cemetery near Wellsford, Kansas.
