General Notes: Husband - James Mason McComb

---

He studied theology and graduated at Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, in 1881. The son of a missionary, he was a born missionary and devoted his life to missionary work, both Home and Foreign. The first year of his ministry was spent as a Home Missionary in Iowa and then he and his wife went as Foreign Missionaries to India, under the Presbyterian Board, where they labored in Lodiana and Lahore for about seven years when failing health necessitated their return to America. After their return they engaged in Home Missionary work in the wilds of Nevada for two years and then returned to India where Mr. McComb was given the Chair of Philosophy in the Christian College in Lahore and was sent later to Umballa and next to Woodstock College for girls in North India. They also had charge of Lalitpur Orphanage in Central India for a time. In all, a service of about eighteen years in India. Health again failing, they returned to America where they engaged in missionary work in one of the "feud centers" of Kentucky, and later in Oregon.
