Mr. Humble lived in Tompkinsville for about sixteen years, whee he engaged in the lumber business and became one of the most prominent citizens of Monroe County. After coming to Monroe county, he was married to Mrs. Lucy Gray, a sister of Judge Basil Richardson of this place, who survives him. He is also survived by a daughter by a former marriage, Mrs. 
Hershell Boggess of Louisville. Eleven years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Humble moved to Glasgow and bought the brick residence on East Main Street, which they have sin!
