The Villard Leader ; Villard, McHenry Co., Dakota ; Saturday, June 26, 1886
DIED-- At his home near Newport, on June 21, of paralysis of the heart, 
Ephraim McComb, aged 58 years. A daughter and four sons are left to mourn his 
loss. Rev. P.E. Royse, pastor of the M.E. Church, Mouse river mission, 
officiated at the funeral.

Mr. McComb was born at Cross Creek, Washington Co., Pa., in the year 1828. He 
moved with his parents to Iowa in 1841, and thus entered upon the hardships 
and privations of pioneer life at the age of 13. He removed with his wife and 
children to Stillwater, Minn., in 1866, where, in 1868, his wife was taken 
from him. In 1881 he came to Dakota, and has lived on the frontier ever since. 
For eighteen years he has cherished in his heart the image of his angel wife, 
and now he, too, has passed through the pearly gates of the Celestial City and 
has been reunited beside the waters of the River of Life. All is well with 
him. God's will be done.

Card of Thanks
To the kind friends who assisted and comforted us in our great bereavement; to 
Rev. P.E. Royse, who stopped on his journey to perform the last sad rites, and 
to his estimable wife, we wish, through the columns of the LEADER, to express 
our heartfelt and sincere thanks, and hope that in their hour of trouble they 
may meet with as many kind hearts and sympathetic friends.
