The Humphreys family in America - citizen hylbom blog

"His wife, only daughter of William Benedict, M. D., was eminently fitted to be the helpmeet
of such a man, and is equally worthy of mention; for, if he was manly, she was womanly.
Possessed of all those graces of mind and heart that adorn the female character, she knew her
sphere, and how to fill it—knew her power, and how to wield it. She ruled without seeming to
rule. The circle in which she moved was a charmed one, and she was the charm. Her home
was a most attractive spot, not only to those who called it their own, but also to all that knew
it throuL;h the hospitable welcome alwavs awaiting the visitor. She survived her husband about
twenty-live years, dying November loth, 1SS4, leaving a host of friends, and not an enemy."*
