George J. Comstock was born March 8, 1839 and died at his home near McFarland March 15, 1912, having been severely burned March 9 at the Noller Brothers store in McFarland. He was found by W.C. Noller in the side room of the store where he had fallen against an oil stove and upset it. Noller happened to come in the store just before 9 p.m. to use the phone and found Comstock breathing the smoke and flame from the stove.
