Individual Details
Hettie May Comstock
(19 Jun 1886 - 26 Apr 1984)
1900 Census says born in May.
Marriage record in Crawford Co: Alonzo Mundy, age 19, to Hettie M. Comstock, age 17, on 13 Sep 1903, N. Rose, JP [her grandfather].
I don't know exactly what happened with Mr. Mundy, but when Hettie remarried the lisense reads:
J. H. Campbell of Uniontown, age 34, and Mrs. Hettie Comstock of Uniontown, age 24. The license is dated 13 Jan, but they were married on the 15th of Jan, 1911, by Gratis M. Comstock [Hettie's brother]
The 1910 Census lists Hettie M. as "D" under marital status and she and the two sons are living back home with her parents.
Gratis Comstock states that Munday died in July of 1919. He doesn't mention the divorce but does give the date of Hettie's second marriage license as 13th of January, 1911.

“Pioneer Citizen Award: Hettie Mae Comstock Campbell” by Ora Smith
Hettie was born 19 Jun 1886 near Cove Creek at Londontown, Crawford Co. Her siblings were listed with birthdates and spouses, but many of the birthdates are incorrect. The article does state that in 1964, her brother Gratis had received the Pioneer Citizen Award.
