General Notes: Husband - William M. Humphrey


He was reared a farmer, and was educated in the common schools. In 1884 he purchased a farm of 100 acres in Connoquenessing township, which began producing oil about 1890, and eventually had twenty-six wells located upon it. It was in the Hundred Foot field, and made its owner one of the wealthy citizens of the county. In 1892 he purchased some twenty-four acres at Centreville, upon which he erected one of the finest homes in that section of the state. He was also the owner of another farm of 148 acres, known as the David McKee farm, in Slippery Rock township. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, and politically, was a supporter of the Republican party.
Eva D. McClellan, a niece, made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Hum­phrey since she was four years old.
