Comeby is a ghost town in Rankin County, Mississippi, United States.[1]
Comeby was a sawmill town, and was named for the favorite expression of the mill owner, John R. Webster: "come by to see me".[2]
Comeby had a post office from 1903 to 1918,[3][4] and was a stop on the Illinois Central Railroad.[5]
