General Notes: Husband - George D. Humes

---

He lost his arm by being caught in a threshing-machine, December 23, 1848.
He and his wife were members of the Methodist Church. He was a member of Cambridge Lodge, 901, I. O. O. F., and the E. A. U. of Cambridge. He was Justice of the Peace fifteen years and held nearly every office in the gift of his township. Politically he was a Democrat.

He was born May 13, 1813. [GPHWP, 1547] This seems unlikely, if the dates for his father, given by the same source, are correct.

He was the recipient of a fine education, was graduated from Allegheny College, and then taught for many years in Cambridge township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. He was active in the interests of the Democratic party, and served as postmaster of Cambridge Springs during the administration of President Cleveland. He was the owner of a well cultivated farm of one hundred and ninety-two acres; was a member of the local Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. [GPHWP, 1547]
