2 May 1879 A Serious Accident befel Mr. Wm. Combs Wednesday morning last. He ascended to the roof of a shed in Dakin's coal yard to see about making repairs thereto, when the decayed boards broke and Mr. Combs fell with a heavy thud to the floor beneath. The descent was 16 to 18 feet, and by the fall Mr. C. sustained a fracture of the shoulder blade and suffered a severe contusion on the back of the head. The injuries rendered him unconscious, in which state he remained for several hours, giving rise to fears that they would terminate fatally. Dr. Picot attended him under whose treatment he at length revived. Though an aged man (of 70 years and upwards) hope may be entertained of his recovery.

17 May 1895 On Wednesday, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Combs, an aged couple living at Wilson's Corners nearly two miles south of Reed's Corners, came to the village to transact some business and to do a little trading. Starting for home in the afternoon at about 3 o'clock, they drove down Main street until they were in front of the residence of F. X. McNulty, where their horse became frightened by an electric street car, and suddenly shying to the side of the road, violently threw both occupants out of the buggy. Mr. Combs struck on his neck on a water pipe lying by the side of the road and was rendered unconscious. Mrs. Combs struck on her head on some gutter stones and the end of a water pipe and was quite badly cut on her face and the top of her head. The injured couple were carried into the house of Mr. Sutherland, and Dr. Beahan was summoned. It was fully a quarter of an hour before Mr. Combs regained consciousness. Mr. and Mrs. Combs are severely bruised, but no really serious results are anticipated. The horse was captured in front of the Lake Breeze house and was not injured.

16 Nov 1900 William Combs died at the residence of his step-daughter, Mrs. Chas. S. Codington, 134 William street, at the great age of 95 years. He was undoubtedly the oldest citizen of Geneva, and had resided among us 90 years and upwards. He was thrice married and survived for many years the last of his consorts. He was a lifelong member of the M. E. Church and lived a life consistent with the Christian character. He had a remarkable memory, and could relate with vivid particularity many interesting events in the early history of Geneva. His mental faculties were preserved to the very last. His funeral took place yesterday, with appropriate religious ceremonies at the house. Interment in Glenwood cemetery where he bought a lot 18 years ago.

19 March 1908 Phelps, N. Y. - The marriage of Miss Neva May Combs and Charles Eugene Pease took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Adelbert Combs, at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The interior of the home was prettily decorated in pink, white and green. While the bridal march from Lohengrin was being played by Miss Ethel Donnelly, the bride and groom took their place beneath an arch of evergreen where the ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Woolcot, pastor of the Phelps Baptist church assisted by Rev. H. L. Bethel, a former pastor now of Rochester. The bride was attired in white silk trimmed with point d'esprit lace and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. Her traveling suit was of blue panama and she wore a raffia hat trimmed to match. The bridesmaids, six in number, Miss Mildred Philley of Gypsum, Miss Mabel Smith of Newfield, Miss Ada Woolcot, Miss Anna Devoll, Miss Maud Donnelly, and Miss Leah Lambert of Phelps, all wore white. After a luncheon at which fifty were served, Mr. and Mrs. Pease left on the evening train for an eastern trip. They will make their home in Phelps. The bride and groom were well-remembered with many beautiful gifts, among them being a gold watch, a gift from the bride's father. A pleasant pre-nuptial event was a chafing dish tea given in honor of the bride-elect by Mrs. Frank A. Salisbury.
Among the guest from out-of-town were: Rev. and Mrs. H. L. Bethel of Rochester; Miss Bessie Blyth of Walworth; Miss Mabel Smith of Newfield; Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Williams of Seneca Castle; Mr. and Mrs. George Philley and daughter of Gypsum; Mrs. N. Strong of Clifton Springs and Miss Maude Woodhouse of Newark.

With each succeeding Memorial Day, it is becoming more and more apparent that the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic are steadily growing thinner and the veteran graves in the cemeteries are steadily becoming thicker. This fact is being realized by no one more keenly than by the veterans themselves. Each year they find that the number of graves to be decorated has increased and that the surviving comrades to perform this service are steadily becoming fewer. In fact the work now entailed by the observance of Memorial Day devolves upon a very few men. The roster of Swift Post includes only forty-six comrades while many of these are inactive and unable to participate in the celebration of the day. On the other hand the number of graves of the country's dead in the cemeteries of the city number 216. This number is divided among the four cemeteries of the city. The largest number of the veterans lie in Washington street cemetery where 101 old soldiers are buried. Glenwood come next with the graves of seventy old soldiers. St. Patrick's has thirty-four veteran graves and Pulteney street cemetery, the oldest cemetery in the city, eleven. Of these the largest majority belonged to the 126th and 148th New York State Infantry regiments, of which were recruited in this section. There are the graves of twenty-four members of 126th and twenty-eight graves of former members of the 148th to be found in the cemeteries of the city.
Scattered through the cemeteries there are the graves of five Revolutionary soldiers and six of the War of 1812. The graves of the old soldiers found in the city are as follows:
