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 since occupied. He was stepping to the front of Barren county and developing into a man of great influence, when three years ago he was stricken with a fatal malady, which finally removed him from this life. He is survived by several brothers who live in Eastern Kentucky, the well known lumber man, McClendon Bros., of Monroe County being nephews.
