David Connel Combs was born on 2 December 1902 in Missouri to Leslie Carl and Georgia J. (Connel) Combs. His parents were living in Jackson, Missouri, in 1900 so it is likely that is the town in which David was born. The family had moved to Memphis, Missouri, by 1910 and remained there after his father died in 1923.
David, who went by Connel, married Ruth Hutchison on 15 January 1929 in Kansas City, Missouri. They lived in that city their entire married lives. In 1930 Connel worked as a salesman for a radio station but the next year he worked in the order department of Stromberg-Carlson Telephone Manufacturing Co. Perhaps the Depression caused the fortunes of the new technology company to sink because in 1939 Connel was hanging awnings. I believe he worked for the same company, Baker-Lockwood Manufacturing Co. where his wife worked in a clerical position. He was still working there in 1940 as a laborer. By 1959 he and Ruth lived 744 East 71st Terrace and Connel worked as a building contractor.
The couple had no children and Connel died on 10 March 1986 in Kansas City. He was interred in Forest Hill Cemetery. His wife died in 1993 and was buried beside him.
