Individual Details
Clinden "Den" Comstock
(18 Feb 1873 - 29 Feb 1912)
The 1910 Census:
Union Twp, Crawford Co AR, Hh 44
Clenden Comstock, 37, married once for 15 years, b. AR
Birdie, wife, 30, says married once for 15 years, 4 children, b. AR
Jennie, dau 8. Dink, son 5. Charlie, son, age 3, Minnie, dau age 4 months
A Marriage license was issued in Sebastian Co, AR, 5 Apr 1905 to Den Comstock of Uniontown, age 32, to marry Birdie Houghton of Van Buren, age 26. John Q. West, Church of Christ Minister married them on the 6th of April 1905. It appears that one child had already been born to the couple and another was on the way. The family history book states they married 1900, instead of 1905 - but they may have been a way to cover-up their daughter's birth in 1901.
His grave marker reads "A precious one from us has gone. A voice we love is still. A place is vacant in our home which he can only fill." Den is buried in the Comstock Cemetery, as is a young son, Thomas Denzil who was age 6 when he died.
