"John Henry COMBS came to Titus County from
Alabama in 1885. Albert COMBS came to Titus County from Alabama in
1889. He stayed here one year and went back to Alabama, and four years later he came
back to Titus County. He bought land about 4 miles north of Mt. Pleasant and built
his home. He cleared most of this land and put it in fruit orchards, primarily
peaches.
For many years he raised and shipped more peaches than perhaps all of the other growers in
Titus County combined. [Albert died around 1948.] John Henry COMBS also owned
land in the same neighborhood."
"T. C. COMBS, father of Albert and John Henry COMBS, came with them to Texas. He was a well-educated man and was a schoolteacher. After he came to Texas he started a private school that was located about 2 miles east of Mt. Pleasant on lands now owned by the JUSTISS family. He had a one-room log school and charged $1.00 per month tuition for each student."
