to the Auburn Theological Seminary Class of 1928!

George Combs is highlighted in this graduation class photo for a few special reasons. Just five days after graduating, George was married right here in Willard Chapel! His son, Charles Combs, later grew up in the Seminary President’s House when the campus was converted into apartments after World War II.

Recently, George’s grandson, Chuck donated his grandfather’s diploma to Willard Chapel. Our staff also had the honor of chatting with Charles and Chuck over Zoom and hearing firsthand stories about their family’s time on the former Seminary campus.

We love being able to connect pieces of Willard Chapel’s history with the families who lived it!
