FAMILY 5.
19- Charles Henry* Humphrey, [12] (Henry Sauler,^ Lemudr- A'oah^) was born
at Guilford, Ct., 19 June, 1841. He married 25 Feb., 1872, Rosamond Winant, of Little Ferry,
N. J. He entered the U. S. Navy 22 Sept., 1858; commissioned Lieutenant in 1863; served as
midshipman and aide to Commander Foote; and with Farragut and Porter during the War of the
Civil Rebellion; resigned in 1863. Has since been occupied in the Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
New York City.
Captain Humphrey is noted as a most brilliant talker. His fond of anecdote is inexhaust-
able, and renders him the life and charm of every circle vivified by his presence. It is always
suited to the occasion, never twice alike, and never tiresome; but, like a spring of pure clear
water, ever bubbles up in sparkling effervescence and brightness. He is a born orator and linguist,
and whoever has not heard him tell a story or sing a song, has lost one of the thoroughly enjoyable
scenes of life. Not that he should be thought trivial, for in all the relations of life he is a model
man, while in this, his special vein of humor, he is unequalled. He exemplifies over again the
best family traits of fine humor so remarkable in many of the name. Res. at Short Hills, N. J.
