| Husband Frank Leonard Bock b 1905 d 3 Aug 1975 m 10 February 1933. Honolulu, Honolulu, Hawaii, m temple 1980. Frank was five years younger than Comfort. | ||||||||||||||
Comfort sailed to Hawaii, via California, in August, 1926, and became a teacher there. Velva Ann followed, sailed from San Francisco four years lated, August 18, 1930, on the same ship with President Castle Murphy of the Hawaiian Mission, to become a teacher ninety miles away from Comfort.
In April, 1932, her sister Velva Ann dies in an auto accident. Comfort accompanies her sister's body back to Ogden. On Feb. 10, 1933, Comfort is married in Hawaii to Lieutenant Bock, bitter-sweet occasion I'm sure.
In 1941 Comfort completed her masters with her thesis on, "The LDS Church in the Hawaiian Islands." Her husband was highly decorated in WWII. In 1945 her husband was sent to Japan as a military governor and she took charge of the local school.
They raised two girls. After the war they moved to SLC and then Ogden where they took up residence. After the death of her parents she took on the role of stewardship in the family deciding things like who got what items after the death of her parents. Comfort and the army struggled with Frank's drinking. At times he found himself in the basement.
Comfort ended her life in a retirement home on Monroe Street in Ogden.

Emma Bachman Scholl's journal: In June, 1926, Audrey,
Elaine and I spent two months in Hermosa Beach in a rented house.
It was a nice quiet beach then. Elaine could walk fast now and we
had to watch her all the time. Comfort Bachman came to see us.
Elaine was playing in the sand and she screamed. We didn't know
why until the next day when we found she had swallowed a large flat rock.

June 12th, 1927 we took the train to Utah. It was very hot, no
air conditioning then. I had a bad case of inflammation of the
bladder and sat in the rest room in a wash basin of hot water
part of the time. The train was very crowded. We had a sleeper
and went to bed at night, all in one bed. We stayed in my
brother Joseph's beautiful brick house, 666 21st Street. He had
a half acre of garden, berries and fruit. He also owned a 90
acre farm in Eden and he and Maggie and Mark and Lyle were up
there all week, came down Saturday and went back Monday. We went
up and stayed on the farm a while. Velva lived in the house in
Ogden and Comfort came sometimes.
