Mrs. Ethel Humphrey
(Mrs. Nell) of Guthrie was
honored Sunday at the Mc-
Kinley-Irvin-Meddian re-
union held at Meridian in
Logan County. The reunion
was held especially for the
former students, teachers,
and residents and their fami-
lies of any and all of the three
communities(now combined
into ONE community since
transportation is easier than
was the case in days of the
90s through the 40s).
More than 200 people at-
tended this second reunion
at Merrick. Several states
were represented at the con-
vention, including one family
from San Diego, Calif.
Mrs. Humphrey was ac-
corded special honors not
only because she was the
oldest person present (92
years) but because it was
unanimously agreed that
Mrs. Humphrey and her
family had "contributed
more to the education of the
area, and the state or states
where some of her children
have moved, than any other
one family in the commun-
and also was County Agricul-
tural Agent for several years.
later the family moved to a
farm northeast of Guthrie
where the Humphreys own.
ed and operated a half sec-
tion of fertile land.
While managing his farm,
Nell Humphrey was dedica-
ted to improvement of not
only crops care and improve-
ment of soils, but in the im-
provement of breeds of beef
cattle, hogs, and work
animals. Mr. Humphrey
maintained a Percheron stal-
lionand a good jack. The five
children of the Humphrey
family all became teachers,
in their early adulthood.
They were Marguerite
Humprey Canning (Mar-
guerite taught at both Mc-
Kinley and Merrick), John
Humphrey (now retired mail
carrier) of Stiilwater, Merle
Humphrey Rickstrew(Mrs.
Carol Rickstrew of Diamond
Valley), Merle taught at
McKinley and Meridian;
Dorothy Humphrey McCor-
kle (Mrs. Lloyd McCorkle of
Guthrie) and Jama Humph-
rey Decker (Mrs. Matt
Decker) of Stuttgart, Ark.,
Jama taught in Arkansas af-
ter she was married.
And, though none of the
Humphrey family(Nell's and
Ethel's son and daughters)
are still teaching, the four
who survive are busy, and
active being good Americans
all are hoping that they too
will be able to perform as
does their mother. Ethel at
92 still makes pictures, us-
ing almost any medium in-
cluding human hair, feather
flowers, any kind of art
work she takes into her mind
to do. Interested in people
and things, Mrs. Humphrey
is a delight to know. Not the
least of Ethel's interests is
her four remaining children,
ten grandchildren and 27
great grandchildren.

week for local gardeners.
It is also blackberry season.
The woods are full of black-

ripening fruit, for those for-
