Mr. Humphrey learned the carriage-maker's trade, and carried on the business at Bennetts-
ville, N. ^. , until the spring of 1869, when he sold out and removed to Michigan. The climate
not agreeing with him, he returned to the State of New York in the fall of the same year, and
settled at Afton, Chenango County, where he continued to reside until his death, which occurred
in that town, 29 June, 1877, at the age of 61 years. Mrs. Humphrey's P. O. address was (1883)
Windsor, Broome Co., N. Y.
Children (by ist marriage):
2439. I- C.\ssius Selah,7 b. 5 Jan., 1845, Bennettsville, N. Y. ; died there, i Sept., 1849,
8B. 4 years, and 8 months.
2440. H. Charles Edwin,^ b. 11 Dec, 1850, Bennettsville, N. Y. ; in 1867, attended the
Commercial College at Bingham ton, N. Y. In the spring of 1870, he joined the
Greeley Colony and went to Greeley, Colorado; but sold out shortly after and
entered Afton (N. Y.) Academy, where he continued his studies until the spring
of 1872. He then went upon a farm, which he had previously purchased at
Solomon, Kansas, with the expectation of working it. After a day's trial he
abandoned the attempt, as he found it was almost impossible for him to raise
his foot after putting it down on the ground. He had bought what is called
"gumbo" land; it had rained the day before his arrival, and such soil cannot be
worked after a rain.
After occupying several positions of trust in public institutions at Kalamazoo,
and at Jackson, Michigan, from 1872 to 1879, he bought out the drug store
which he now owns (1883) at Jackson, Mich. He is unmarried.
