Bliss Electrical School Gained

Louis D. Bliss, who bought the
old Takoma Hotel with its 100
rooms and remodeled it for
school purposes. 1t burned to thes
ground in 1908, but by 1912
new building had risen on the
site.
The school trained men from
all over the world in electrical
work, with classes numbering as
high as 1856. During World War
II it gave intensive training to
1000 Navy men in advanced cleo
tronics, particularly in relation
ship to radar, both for shipboard
and air.
The school closed in 1850, and
the building now houses the
Montgomery Junior College.

the days of his great-grandfather,
says Robert. For one thing, he
says, the old wooden coffin is not
used today - instead, funeral
homes furnish lined caskets.
The average funeral today re-
quires 80 staff hours of work to
put on. This includes all serv-
ices from furnishing a casket to
sending out death announce
ments to newspapers.
Enbalming has become a skill
ed profession with a tWo-fold pur-
pose - to sterilize the body to
make it harmless to the living,
and to restore a natural life-like
appearance. To accomplish the
latter, all enbalmers are also
trained cosmeticians. The Robert
A. Humphrey home employs pro
fessional hairdressers, to aid in
this job.
Robert Humphrey, a graduate
of the Cincinnati College of EN-
balming, is a member of the Ma
tional Selected Morticians, an
invitation-only society composed
of 500 top funeral directors. In
1913, he becamet its youngest
member, at 81.
He is currently on the board
of directors and serves as secre-
tary-treasurer of the organiza-
ton.
Since Warner Humphrey is
childless, he seems destined to be
the last of his branch of the
family in the funeral business.
But Robert Humphrey, with
three small sons, is confident that
his line will continue the family
tradition of service to the people
of Montgomery County.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-09-29

balmers. He took over the bust
ness after his fathers death in
1928.
William Reuben, Jr., who learn.
ed his fathers business and grew
up to improve upon it, established
, the first funeral home - in con.
trast with the usual funeral
chapel in the county. AS
funerals in the home became less
common, he felt that a mortician
should provide home-like atmos.
phere for the last rites instead of
cold chapel-type setting.
The Humphrey ambulances,
powered first by horses and later
by automobile engines, took care
v of all of the county's emergency
needs before the establishment of
the volunteer rescue squads.
When IA children from Williams
port were killed in a railroad
accident in Rockville, the Pun
phrey ambulances were on the
scene, and the funeral home
cared for the dead.
Again, the Humphrey staff re-
sponded to an accident at Dicker-
son which killed 10.
The younger William Reuben
Pumphrey conducted the first
automobile funeral i'm the
Washington area for Paul Peck,
a Washington aviator, in 1912.
The body was carried in
mechanical hearse, and a line
of automobiles followed it to
Rockville Union Cemetery
On the death of William Reu-
ben, Sr., the business was put up
for sale, and Warner Humphrey
bought it in 1929, taking over the
original Rockville establishment
and opening another home in
Silver Spring. This Rockville
home is no longer in business. =
Immediately after that, Will
liam Reuben, Jr, started in bust
ness for himself on the site of the
present Rockville home, and open
ed the Bethesda branch in 1880.
His son, Robert A. Humphrey,
took over that business when he
became i'll in 1915. Another son,
William Worthington, worked in
the business until his death in
1882, at the age of 10. His widow
assists in the Humphrey home in
Rockville, in association with
Robert.

sion has come a long way since

Rockville, Germantown, Laytons
vile. Sunshine, Gaithersburg anG
Washington.
Most of these were small
places where equipment was KEEP
for funerals put on in private
homes around the county. Chairs
candles and other funeral para
phenalia were stored at thest
Way.stations and taken to homes
in the area when needed.
Fast horses were also kept at
these little places, for use on
the Humphrey ambulances -
the first, and for a long time
the only - ambulance service
in the county.
When the ambuIanceS made
long runs - says, from Cal
thersburg to hospital i'm
Washington - horses were ex-
changed at the way-statiOns so
that the ambulance could make
its entire trip at top speed.
Before the days of embalming,
William Reuben Humphrey pre-
served bodies for his clients in
large, portable ice-boxes. Ice was
packed around the body, and a
small glass plate was set in the
box SO that the body could be
viewed at the funeral. In his
time, most funerals were held in
private homes and bodies lay in
state in the front parlor.
His son, William Reuben, Jr
was among the nations first EN-

grandson of the founder, who has
funeral homes at Rockville and
Bethesda, and by Warner A.
Humphrey, grandson of the coun-
tvs first mortician, whose estab-
lishment is in Silver Spring.
These two, nephew and uncle,
now run their own separate bust,

William Ellican Humphrey, de-
scended from Englishmen who
settled in Prince Georges and St.
Mary's Counties in 1868, moved
to Montgomery County about
1910. In 1854, he set up shop in
Rockville as a builder and cab
inetmaker, with coffinmaking a
big part of his business.
When he died in 1887, his son,
William Reuben, took over the

business. For a time William
Reubens establishment also
made furniture, but that line was
dropped in the 1920's.
He concentrated on building up

time, he ran ID places scattered
