- Horace Hawkins Comstock (c. 1807 – March 15, 1861) was an American businessman, lawyer, and politician. He was very successful in business as a young man, purchased large quantities of land in the Michigan Territory in the early 1830s, founded the town of Comstock, Michigan, and served multiple terms in the Michigan Legislature. He built a reputation as a generous and helpful citizen, but following the death of his first wife, his family began to fall apart and his finances suffered, and he died intestate with little of his fortune left. His first wife was the niece of author James Fenimore Cooper, whose time spent at Comstock's house in Kalamazoo, Michigan, helped inspire his novel The Oak Openings. Comstock's son Bill Comstock became a frontier scout who worked under General George A. Custer and gained fame for losing a buffalo-shooting contest with Buffalo Bill Cody over the right to use the nickname "Buffalo". (en)
