Death of Mr. McComb
Mr. Andrew T. McComb died at the home of his son, Mr. A.D. McComb, last Sunday morning at 4 o’clock, after an illness of about one week. He had the grip last winter and before he had fully recovered from that he took dysentery about a week before his death, and owing to his extreme age he could not overcome the
effects of these diseases.
Mr. McComb was a native of South Carolina and his father moved to Heard County, this state, when the subject of this sketch was a youth, the elder McComb being one of the pioneer settlers of that county. He was 84 years old last February and was a remarkable old gentleman up to his recent illness. He was an industrious old man and he could always be seen working his garden or patches. He hoed out his corn patch on the eighth day previous to his death.
He was a member of the Methodist church and he died the death of a peaceful Christian man who had hope of a better life beyond the grave.
His funeral was preached at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock by Rev. R.L. Wiggins and his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near that church. A large number of our citizens were present. To the bereaved family the Patriot extends its sympathy.

Mr. and Mrs. A.D. McComb
