Mrs. Hummel Buried Monday
       Death, no respector of persons, took from Jeffersontown one of its most highly 
esteemed citizens last week.
       The funeral of Mrs. Anna Weibel Hummel, wife of Editor C.A. Hummel of The 
Jeffersonian was conducted from the Jeffersontown Methodist Church at 2:30 Monday afternoon 
and burial was in Resthaven Cemetery.
       The funeral services were in charge of the pastor,Rev. M. L. Dyer, assisted by Rev. 
Charles W. Grant, of Frankfort, a former pastor and friend of the family.  Mrs. William 
Jasper was soloist.
       Mrs. Hummel passed away Saturday at 3 p.m. after a fight of many months against the 
dread disease, cancer, she having submitted to an operation in 1938 which at the time seemed 
successful.  Later symptoms,however, proved more malignant.
       The crowded church and profusion of lovely flowers Monday were mute evidences of the 
esteem in which Mrs. Hummel was held by all who knew her.  Gentle and quiet, she was devoted 
to her family and to her church.  A courageous helpmate and a splendid mother, she possessed 
a heart that embraced not only her very own, but an orphan nephew, an aged father-in-law 
and other members of the family connection, who needed love and care, as well; all coming in 
alike for a share of her tender solicitude.
       In her church and club work she, although modestly self-effacing, was a leader 
nevertheless filling with efficiency any place where there was a demand for her services.
       Cut off just in the prime of life, Mrs. Hummel was only 51 years old and a quiet 
family party had joined the husband at her bedside in celebration of their silver wedding 
anniversary but afew days before her death.
       Survivors besides her husband are a son, William W. Hummel, who is connected with his 
father in business; two daughters, Miss Elisabeth, a teacher in the Cochran School, of 
Louisville, and Miss Sarah, a member of the present senior class at Jeffersontown High 
School.  There is also a sister, Miss Elise Weibel, of Louisville, and a brother, Alexander 
R. Weibel, of Pittsburgh, Pa.
       The associates of Mr. Hummel in The Jeffersonian office joined the many other friends 
over Jefferson and adjoining counties in extending to him and his famiy sincere sympathy in 
this great bereavement.
