The sources provide information about two individuals named George W. Malcomb:

• George W. Malcomb, age 56, died on Monday, June 1, 1917, after a long illness from a tumor on the brain. He was buried in the Shinnaberry graveyard near Clover Lick. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Arbogast of the Methodist Church. Mr. Malcomb had been a professing Christian and member of the Methodist Church for many years. He was a native of Highland County, and had come to Pocahontas County twenty-six years before his death. He was described as a good citizen, honest, and industrious. He was survived by his wife who was a daughter of the late Abram Shinnaberry. His family included two sisters, Mrs. Harvey Cromer by Cheat Bridge and Mrs. Benny Burner, and two brothers whose homes were in Virginia.
• George W. Malcomb married Miss Blenche Townsend on Thursday morning, July 16, 1908. The ceremony was performed in the River View parlor, West Marlinton by Rev. Dr. William T. Price. Mr. Malcomb was a son of George and Susan (Shinnaberry) Malcomb. He was an employee at the Brown Bros. Lumber Plant on the C & O. He was described as an industrious young citizen of fire character. This wedding was noted as being one of the youngest ever married by the officiating minister since 1858.

Additionally, Mrs. George W. Malcomb, whose name was Susan E.C. Malcom, died in the Marlinton Hospital on October 13, 1920, after an illness of 4 weeks of typhoid fever. She was 52 years, 4 months, and 2 days old. She was the daughter of Abraham and Mildred M. Shinnaberry and was married early in life to George W. Malcomb. She made a confession of her faith at age 16 and united with the M.E. Church. She lived a devoted Christian life. She was buried in the family burial ground near Page Lane. She was survived by 3 sons: Elmer and Orville of Cass, and Edgar of Huntersville; her aged mother and 9 brothers and sisters, including Mrs. P.H. Lowe of Clover Lick.

It is important to note that there may be some overlap or confusion between the two entries above for George W. Malcomb. For example, one source describes his wife as being a daughter of Abram Shinnaberry, and the other indicates she was a daughter of Abraham and Mildred Shinnaberry. The second entry above for George W. Malcomb might be for a son of George and Susan (Shinnaberry) Malcomb. More information would be needed to differentiate the individuals and their families.

In the sources, there are also other mentions of Malcom family members, such as:

• Elmer Walter Malcom, 71, died of a heart attack on November 17, 1960. He was the son of the late George and Susan Shinnaberry Malcom.
• Orval Jackson Malcom, age 65 years and three months, died on March 5, 1960. He was the son of the late George and Susan Shinnaberry Malcom.
