General Notes: Husband - Hamilton Humes
He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and removed to Bellefonte, Centre County, in the spring of 1810. On April 1, 1819, he succeeded R. T. Stewart, as postmaster at Bellefonte, receiving his appointment from Return J. Meigs, postmaster-general under President Monroe, and held that office until January, 1833, under General Jackson, when he met the fate of Jackson's opponents in removal from office.
He established a large mercantile business, built mills, and among other pursuits was that of the manufacture of paper at Bellefonte, on which the Centre Democrat was printed for years. His attention to business, his skill, and his fidelity to his engagements secured public confidence. He was a great friend and patron of young men; kind to the indigent and unfortunate; they never called upon his benevolence in vain. He connected himself with the Presbyterian Church at an early age, gave liberally to its support, and served acceptably as an elder for many years before his death.
