| Headstone in Evergreen Cemetery, believed to be section 28 |
At the age of 24, Samuel Combs enlisted as a private in Company H of the 36th Ohio Infantry, which was organized at Marietta, OH, in 1861. This unit served in both the Eastern and Western theaters. Among the battles and campaigns it participated in were Second Bull Run and Antietam in the east and Chickamauga in the west. (Additional information about this regiment can be found here and a picture of its monument at Antietam is here.)
Combs died at age 75 in Newport, Kentucky of Bright's Disease in June of 1912 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery.
Rest in peace, soldier
