John Will Combs home at mouth of Glomawr Hollow

[chuckc]

My grandfather was John Will Combs who had a home and a couple of buildings at the mouth of Glomawr Hollow, between the tracks and the river. At different times he had a country store, movie house, and a pool hall.   There was a basketball goal out in front of the store where there was always a basketball game going on.  The house and buildings were washed away in the 1957 flood and along with them went most of our family photos, documents, ect.

If anyone has or know of anyone that may have any photos of his home and or buildings I would sure appreciate you helping me to get a copy of them.  I have been searching for years with no luck.

Merry Christmas to all.

My father was from Glomawr. His mother was born in a house in Glomawr close to Stormking. I believe she was born in 1932. One of my father's sisters still lives in Glomawr close to where that house used to be. I will ask her if she has any old pictures of Glomawr that may have been passed down to her through her mother's side of the family. There is a very good chance that she does have pictures like that. She collects family pictures.

My late mother was a Combs too by the way. She was not from Glomawr though. She was from Knott County.
