Sandy / Santos Combs married my great Aunt Marion (Murnie) Hamilton around 1920's in the Wendel, Taylor Co.,WV area. Dec. 24, 1926 Sandy was stabbed to death in Wendel. He also went by the name of Jack Johnson. This was according to verbal family history, but I have located newspaper articles regarding the murder, which does list him with both names. Sandy and Murnie had a daughter Josephine b. about 1921, but birth date I am not sure of.
(newspaper article regarding the murder is from Dec. 1926, however gr aunt wrote in Bible it was Dec. 24, 1925 - memory I guess.) She called him JACK, but on death cert. Sandys father in law gave info as Sandy Combs.
Other than the death cert. stating he was born in Italy - I know nothing more on him. ANYONE know anything about this fellow? oh yes, the article mentioned that he had a wife and 3 children - Sandy and Murn only had Josephine - other 2 could have been nieces, OR with 2 names, possibly a double life - HELP !!
