GEORGE B. COOMBS was born April 9, 1830, in Nelson County, Ky., where he 
was reared.  He has devoted his time until late years to the pursuits of 
the farm, principally in Muhlenburg [sic] and Christian Counties.  In 
1849 he removed from his native county to Muhlenburg [sic] County, where 
on the 19th of November, 1851, he married Miss Elizabeth, daughter of 
Jacob and Catherine (Yonts) Ham.  She was born and reared in Muhlenburg 
[sic] County, and died in Christian County, July 5, 1879, leaving seven 
children, one of whom has since died.  The living are:  William E., John 
M., Augustus B., Katie, Ruth and Warner Coombs.  Mr. Coombs, on the 17th 
of August, 1882, was married to his present wife, Nannie E. Hester, a 
native of Christian County, born in 1850, and who has borne him one 
child - Annie R. Coombs.  In 1869 Mr. Coombs removed to this county and 
located in the south part, where he now owns a farm, and where he 
remained until he removed to Hopkinsville, in 1882. For the past six 
years he has been engaged in the butcher business on an extensive scale, 
supplying all the meats consumed by the Western Insane Asylum.  He is a 
member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the Knights of Honor.  
The parents of our subject were Edward W. and Mildred Coombs (nee 
Mason). These parents were natives of Nelson County, Ky., where the 
mother died in 1836.  Soon after her death the father met with an 
accident whereby he lost a leg, which event of course changed the course 
of his life.  Until 1851 he remained in Nelson County, serving several 
years in official capacity, but at the latter date went to Muhlenburg 
[sic] County, Ky., remaining with the family of his son George B., and 
there by appointment he served as Assessor of Internal Revenue.  He had 
a family of three children:  George B., Elizabeth, wife of H. C. 
Dillman, and Rebecca, wife of J. S. Vaught, of Ohio County, Ky.  He was 
he youngest of a family of sixteen children, all of whom lived to 
extreme old age.  He died in February 23, 1884, in his eightieth year, 
at the residence of Mrs. Dillman, in this county.
