Oxford Times, Oxford, NY, October 3, 1877

Death

Died at the residence of his father, Rufus Humphrey, near Guilford Centre [Chenango Co. NY], Sept. 28th, Dr. Charles Humphrey, aged 24 years.  It is with the deepest sympathy that we record the death of this estimable and rising young man.  He graduated at the Medical College of Homeopathy in Philadelphia, in March of the present year, and located in Fort Plain in the following May.  Early in September he was stricken with typhoid fever. After a short illness he deemed himself sufficiently convalescent to undertake the journey home. A relapse was the consequence from which he rallied. Another followed which proved too severe. His brain became paralyzed, and he sank rapidly away expiring at 8 A.M.  Few young men commenced life with brighter prospects.  An only child, a young man of perfect moral character, skillful in the practice of his profession, loved and respected by all, his sudden death comes like a fearful blow, shocking the entire community.  His funeral was largely attended at the Congregational Church in Guilford Centre, Sunday the 30th ult, Rev. Mr. Griffin officiating.

We are pained to announce the death of Mrs. Samuel Humphrey who died of pneumonia last Sabbath afternoon after a week's illness.  A dutiful wife, a fond mother and a true friend has been called away, and deep is the sorrow of those who will miss the genial smile, the sweet counsel and the unselfish devotion of her who lent such a hallowed charm to life's dearest place on earth, the home circle.  Ever patient, ever kind, ever thoughtful of others, her sweet intercourse of worldly association will long remain fresh and green in the memory of all who knew her.
