1t is a fact to be regretted that some
ultra-conservatiVe business men of
prominence in our city did not take an
active part In the gunboat celebration
which closed with the dinner ct Eden

les, which should be free to all gradu-
ates of the public schools of Milford

In personal character Mr.. Humphrey
was amiable, straightforward not
easily reused to anger, and always Of a
gentle and forgiving disposition. He
was a charming companion and had
many friends who became warmly at
