George McComb came to Lockport about 1826 and first settled on the Coomer road, and later removed to Lockport city, where both he and his wife died in 18__. He was an architect and builder, served as alderman for a time, and became a prominent Odd Fellow. His children were William E., cashier of the National Exchange Bank of Lockport; Frederick J., a wholesale grocer of Denver, Col.: and George T., of Lockport. George T.
