William McCombs, One Of Bacone Founders Succumbs In Eufaula Rev. William "Uncle Billie" McCombs, 85 years old who for more than half a century has been a leader in eastern Oklahoma religious and educational circles died at his home here at midnight Saturday. Reverend McCombs outlined arrangements for his funeral more than a year ago, and services were held at 2 o'clock Monday at the Tuskegee Indian church, 10 miles west of Eufaula , under the direction of B. D. Weeks, president of Bacone Indian College at Muskogee. Miss Alice Roebertson of Muskogee, who for years has played an important part in the state's development, characterized him as "One of the staunchest educational and religious friends Oklahoma has ever had." Much of Reverend McCombs' life was spent in the improvement of the various Indian tribes. He was active in the pulpit for 61 years, his last sermon being delivered on Christmas day. Reverend McCombs' father, Samuel McCombs was one of the hundred men selected by the government to aid in moving the Indians who were forced to abandon their homes in the south, which they had occupied for centuries, and move to what was then practically a wilderness in eastern Oklahoma. The historic march over the "trail of tears" culminated in the marriage of Samuel McCombs and Susie Stinson, a full-blood Cherokee Creek Indian girl whose ability to speak English fluently and several tribal languages enabled her to become a proficient interpreter. Reverend McCombs was born near Fort Gibson, July 22, 1844. The Civil war began when he was 17 years old and he joined the first Cherokee regiment that was organized in the Confederate Army. Col. D. N. McIntosh noted Indian leader, was commanding officer of the regiment. Reverend McCombs was ordained a minister in the Baptist church in 1868, and has served in the pulpit continuously since that time, although he also served four full terms in the House of Warriors of the Creek nation, four years on the supreme bench of the Creek nation six years as superintendent of public instruction of the Creek nation and six years as national interpreter. He was known as a brilliant orator in both English and Indian languages and often acted as an interpreter to other ministers who addressed the Indians during the pioneer days. "He was one of the founders of the Bacone College and his whole life was interwoven in the history of the school," President Weeks said. When outlining plans for his own funeral services, Reverend McCombs requested that the text for his funeral rites be "I Know in Whom I Believe." He is survived by five children; Mrs. P. R. Ewing of Eufaula, Mrs. A. E. Raiford of Eufaula, Mrs. C. H. Drew of Wewoka and William Jr., and Wash McCombs of Eufaula. Thursday February 6, 1930 W. K. KERMODE DEAD W. K.
