Death of Judge Humphrey.

PENNINGTON, Feb. 10, 1881.
 The decease of Mr. Milton Humphrey, of this village, will be felt as great bereave- ment by a wide circle of friends. Mr. Hum phrey was native of Simsbury, and was in cluded in that exceptional class of enterpris- ing and self-made men who, by qualities that have secured remarkable success in business, have made the town from which they ema- life he engaged in mercantile business, which he pursued in the West and in the State and city of New York, with such success that he retired from business during the year 1852 and then fixed his residence in this village where his connmodious and hospitable home has been one of the well known attractions and upright man, scrupulous and exact in what he required and what he rem dered prompt and frank in the ut terance of his views and opinions, and no could mistake his position on any subject. He preferred to be what he consid- cred right than to be found on the popular side. As judge of probate for the district of Pennington he administered the law in justice and equity for the protection of widows and orphans. As trustee and executor on several large estates he won the confidence, esteem and regard of all who were interested as heirs or legatees. As chairman for many years of the prudential committee of the First Eccle- siastical society of this town, he managed the expenses and funds of the society so as to reduce it's debt and advance its pecuniary in- terests. In his benevolences he was not os- tentatious nor influenced by motives of per- sonal advantage, but there are many who can testify to the promptness and the warmth of his sympathy, and to his substantial aid in the time of their necessity While his prei- udices were strong and his sense of injustice exceedingly acute, he was easily touched and moved by unaffected kindness and courtesy; and in his friendships he was warm, sincere and devoted. His place in this community will not soon be filled, and he will be greatly missed from the scenes in which he per formed his part. His remains were inferred at Simshury on Wednesday.
