William F. Humphrey
December 9, 1881
Clinton Public
After months of gradual wasting away from that sure but insidious disease, consumption, William F. Humphrey passed from this life on Wednesday night. His life was spent in DeWitt county, he having come to Barnett township with his father at an early day. The Humphrey family was among the earliest settlers in this county, and the aged father and mother are still living on the farm on which they first located nearly half a century ago. William F. Humphrey moved to this city a number of years ago, his strength not being equal to farm life. With his son-in-law he was engaged in the mercantile business in Weldon. He was a man highly respected, and was ever pleasant to all with whom he came in contact. Life to him was a burden during the past few months, yet he endeavored to appear cheerful in his family. He quietly fell asleep on Tuesday night, never to awaken again in this world. He was in his fifty-eighth year. He leaves a wife and three daughters to mourn their loss. The funeral services were held at his late residence this morning, after which he was taken to Hallsville for burial in the family graveyard. Peace to his ashes.
