   SAMUEL HUMPHREY, P. 0. Mount Blanchard, was born June 27, 1811, in Columbiana
County, Ohio. At the age of eighteen years he began running a boat from
Cincinnati, Ohio, to New Orleans, La., which occupation he followed until 1834.
He married Miss Susannah Borrow in 1841. He had previously walked out to
Delaware Township, this county, in company with his father, and entered land,
and after his marriage he and his wife at once located on this property, which
is now the family homestead, and which he added to until he finally owned 400
acres. There is now only one other man living in Delaware Township who entered
land from the Government. Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey were parents of nine children:
Mary A., Margaret C., Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Woods and Susan Louisa Scott are
deceased; and William D., John J., Samuel E., Mrs. Mollie A. Ballard and Ida S.
are yet living. Mrs. Humphrey died November 13, 1883; she had been a member of
the Christian Church since 1841. Mr. Humphrey has also been a member of that
church since same date. He now resides on the homestead, enjoying the peace and
quiet of an honored old age.
