July 8, 2024 - The descendants of William Humphries will gather for the thirty-seventh annual reunion at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church on Saturday, July 27, 2024, from 11 AM to 2 PM. This is a change in location in the last few years. The address is 500 Hurst Street (Hwy 96 at Arcadia Road). Those with accessibility challenges should enter using the front door ramp. We invite all the Humpries clan to come and share stories, pictures, laughter, and great food on July 27. We ask attendees to bring covered dishes and a nominal gift for a fun gift exchange after the meal.
William married Mary Ann Barr while they lived in England. They settled in Shelby County in 1874 where they raised six children. Four years after Mary Ann's death, William married Ellen Eliza McCauley. William and Ellen had eight children. William helped with the work on the Shelby County courthouse and old county jail.
