Brainard Humphrey.
George Brainerd Humphrey was born at Tipton, la., April 5, 1867, and died at Clarinda, la., May 29, 1913. He was the oldest child in the family of four children. He attended the Tipton public schools until he was fifteen years of age, at which time he entered the printing office to learn the printers' trade. He continued work with the "Conservative" for a number of years. After leaving this office he played the clarinet in a professional band. His work with this band gave him an opportunity to travel and meet many kinds of people. He came to Clarinda eight years ago and began working at the Herald office at that time and worked through the fall and winter at that office, while during the summer months he traveled with the band. For a time he worked at the Democrat office, in this place. About two years ago he began working at the Clarinda Lawn Mower factory. About seventeen years ago his father died, and from that time until he was married to Mrs. Emma Hayes, he lived with his mother, Mrs. Julia Humphrey, who lives in Clarinda. Mr. Humphrey made a profession of religion at 18 years of age, at which time he united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Tipton. He did not make a show of his religion; he hated shams and despised hypocrisies. A little over a year ago he was baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist church at this place. On March 26 he was taken ill with congestion of the lungs, which developed into pneumonia. After a long siege of illness he was able to be up and around. A short time before his death he was compelled to take his bed again, and an examination showed that he had an abscess on the liver, which was the cause of his death. He said from the first that he would never get well. While everything was done for his comfort, and his family and friends hoped for a speedy recovery he seemed to know that the end was approaching. He was not afraid to die, and while the disease was slowly doing its deadly work he manifested the power of the redeemed life to endure and wait patiently. The end came Thursday morning, May 29, at 6 o'clock. The funeral services were held at the First Baptist church, Friday afternoon, May 30, at 3 o'clock. A large host of relatives and friends were in attendance. The body was laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery. He leaves to mourn their loss, a mother, wife and three brothers. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 12, 1913

His many friends will be grieved to learn of the death this morning about six o'clock of Geo. P. Humphrey. Mr. Humphrey had been sick for many weeks, having first had congestion of the lungs and pneumonia, but was better. Later he became worse and to those watching, the end was not unexpected. It is thought that an abscess on the liver was the immediate cause.
Mr. Humphrey, who was 46 years 1 month and 24 days old, leaves his wife and stepdaughter, Joyce Hayes, his mother, Julia Humphrey, and three brothers, one of whom, Charles, is here from Tipton, Iowa. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock, from the First Baptist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Clifford Cox. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 29, 1913

Julia A. Wirick was born in Richland Co., Ohio, March 2, 1845, and died at her home in Clarinda, Iowa, June 7, 1920.

Humphrey, at the close of the war, and to this union were born five children, three of whom remain. The living children are Charles C. of Cedar Rapids, Harry of Tipton and Clyde of Clarinda who has always made his home with his mother.
She was patriotic,  in its largest sense, and knew something of the sacrifices of war. Being a daughter of a soldier, the wife of a soldier, and the mother of a soldier, she entered heartily into the work of the W. R. C, of which order she was an honored member. She came to Clarinda about fifteen years ago and has made her home with her son Clyde continuously ever since, until the time of her death.
When but sixteen years of age, she was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church, which church she always loved and honored. Her last illness was not of long duration, but through it she bore a spirit of resignation and faith that becometh a Christian mother.

The funeral services were held from the undertaking parlors of C. H. Oates on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. James M. Williams of the Methodist Episcopal church officiating, and the ladies of the W. R. C. assisting, with their beautiful ritual. Entrainment was made at 5:20 P. M. for Tipton, Iowa, where interment will be made.

Another Old Resident Passes Off The Stage

One by one the participants in the famous "Bedford murder trial" of four years ago are passing off the scene of action. Bates Huntsman is the latest to go, having died in his home near Bedford a week ago Sunday, and was buried the following day in the cemetery near Siam near the scene of the exciting events which the trial brought out, and near where Mr. Huntsman spent many days digging for the $90,000 of hidden treasure supposed to lie buried there. Scrivner has died since the trial. The two Damewood men are still left, one of whom was but a small boy at the time the supposed events took place, one of them being the boy who "held the oxen", while the murder was (or wasn't) committed. Huntsman's cabin in which he lived near Siam was one of the historic spots brought out by the famous trial, in which Attorney Gen. Havner met his Waterloo, finding he had started something he couldn't finish, in July, 1915, when he tried to prove that a "murder" had been committed during the days following the Civil War.
