  Minnie Belle Sisson Coombs
  Obituary - 1892
  Died - - At her home in Adams township, Wapello county, Iowa, on
 Saturday, July 9th, 1892, after a brief illness, Mrs. Minnie Belle
 Combs, aged 32 years, 7 months and 4 days. She was born in Jefferson
 county, this state, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Sisson. She removed
 with her parents to Ottumwa when three months old, where she grew up to
 womanhood and where she married in December, 1882, W. B. Coombs, with
 whom she lived happily until her death. Such was her religious training
 and associations that she early gave her heart to the Savior, united
 with the Congregational church and had always lived a pure and
 consistent christian life. She was of that joyous and happy
 disposition, but unusually pure in thought, word and life from her
 youth. She was generous almost to a fault, ever ready to contribute to
 the happiness of others, to aid in all good works, to comfort the
 distressed, to minister to the wants of the sick and afflicted, the poor
 and the needy, and was ever rea! dy to work for the betterment of
 society. Mrs. Coombs had been liberally educated, and taught school
 before her marriage. In march, 1890, she moved with husband and family
 to their beautiful "home on the hill," where she happily lived and where
 she peacefully and calmly passed away. During the three years she had
 lived in the Amador neighborhood she had endeared herself to all who had
 formed her acquaintance, and she is deeply mourned by the whole
 community. The number of persons in attendance at the funeral service
 was probably greater than ever before assembled in Adams towship on a
 similar accasion. A beloved and dutiful daughter, an affectionate wife,
 a fond mother, a kind-hearted neighbor, and a useful member in church
 and society, has passed away. But it is sweet and consoling to know
 that sister Minnie is not dead to God. That she has only gone on
 before, to the realms of bliss - only exchanged worlds - where the
 suffering body is "changed and fashioned like u! nto the glorious body
 of the Son of God." May the God of all consolat ion bind up the wouded
 hearts of the bereaved family.
  Many were the tears that fell to earth as the long procession of sad
 faces passed by the beautiful casket in which lay the remains of Minnie
 B. Coombs with her still born infant lying upon her arm in the same
 casket.
  O, Minnie! dear Minnie,
 Not lost but gone before.
 We will clasp thee again in a long embrace
 When we meet on the golden shore.
  A Friend.
