N0RTHERN - NEW YORK CONFERENCE JOURNAL, VI. Memoirs, (1971: Pages 1144 - 1145)
1. Memoirs
CHARLES THOMAS HOLCOMBE
Charles Thomas Holcombe drew his first breath in Gardenville, Pa., Nov. 5, 1877, the son of Charles T. and Phoebe Betts Holcombe. He drew his last 92 years later in Boonville, N. Y., July 4, 1970.
After his education in Dickinson Preparatory School, Carlisle, Pa., and Taylor University, Ind., and a brief tarry in the world of business, he devoted some 68 years to the ministry - 64 of them in the Northern New York Conference.
He with his devoted wife Flora May Snyder served three supply years in Pennsylvania. Relating to Northern New York Conference in 1906, he served Knoxboro 1906-07, Great Bend, 1908-12, Watertown Bethany 1913-16, Pulaski 1917-24, ~inetto 1924-30, Hamilton 1931-36, and was Superintendent of Black River-Ontario District 193742. He held a second pastorate at Great Bend from 1943 until his retirement in 1940. In retirement he supplied Great Bend two years; also served the Port Richard Church in Florida for a period.
The bare listing of his service requires some amplification: for instance, at Great Bend he secured the promise of Woolworth Memorial Church from F. W. Woolworth; in 1915 he built the auditorium portion of Bethany Chapel in Watertown; built a parsonage at Pulaski in 1917; was dean of Trenton Epworth League Institute 1934-37; served as a Conference Trustee 1931-39 and was president 1929-34 of the World Service Council. The writer served under him as editor of the Trenton Institute daily mimeographed newspaper in the mid-30s, and remembers well his contribution to hundreds of young people growing up across the Conference.
Charles T. Holcombe, himself, some 18 years after retirement, wrote in 1964: "I consider myself fortunate to have been admitted into the membership of this conference. I have been kindly and generously treated; much more so than I have deserved. I just cannot understand why I have been so favored as the list of my appointments indicates. Surely the Heavenly Father has been in all of it. May He continue to bless!"
At the end of his days, Charles and Flora Holcombe were both patients at Sunset Nursing Home in Boonville, N. Y. They had been married over 71 years. The Holcombes had five children: Edna B., Oswego; Charles B., Fayetteville; Harry R. who died in 1907 at 4 years; Edward D., Boonville and Eda J. (Mrs. Oliver J.) Caldwell, Carbondale, Ill. There were six grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were held July 7 at Boonville United Methodist Church with the Rev. Rollo D. Pierce, pastor, and the Rev. Arthur B. Oot, Jr., Conference Program Director, officiating. Burial was at Riverside Cemetery, Minetto.
There was more deep gladness than sadness at the services. The sense of loss was of course present, but there was gratitude for his long life as an effective minister of Jesus Christ, and for his release from the infirmities which extreme age had brought to him.
