General Notes: Husband - William P. Humes
He was a grand-nephew of Hon. W. W. Potter and Hon. Charles Huston, of the Supreme Court. For many years and until his death, he was president of the First National Bank of Bellefonte. He and his wife had one child that died when quite young.
He received his education in the academy at Bellefonte and at Pennsylvania State College, returning from the latter to Bellefonte the first year of the Civil war, where, after assisting in closing up the business of E. C. Humes & Bro., he became connected with what was more generally known as Humes, McAllister, Hale & Co., private bankers, composed of E. C. Humes, H. N. McAllister, James T. Hale and A. G. Curtin, which bank later became the First National Bank of Bellefonte, with which institution William P. Humes was for many years associated. He was a director in the bank and also a large stockholder.
He was of a diffident, unassuming and retiring disposition, very generous and most kind to those in need; a member of the Presbyterian Church, he is one of its ablest supporters; in politics he is a Republican; socially, a member of the Union League Club of Philadelphia, as well as of several other organizations.
