Timothy Humble Called by Death – Proprietor of Taxi Company Passed Away Early Monday

The death occurred at his residence, 101 Clarence Street, in his fiftieth year, early Monday morning, of Timothy R. Humble, well-known businessman, proprietor of the Humble Taxi Company and former motor car license inspector.

After a period of ill health, Mr. Humble had appeared to be on the way to recovery, but suffered a relapse about a week ago. A native of Sunderland, England, he came to Canada thirty-three years ago, and established a bus service in the Terrace Hill district. During the Great War he enlisted with the 215th Battalion and upon termination of his service in the C.E.F. established the taxi business with which he had since been associated.

To mourn his loss he leaves his widow, one daughter, Miss Dorothy Humble; two sons, William and James; seven brothers and two sisters; George, Toronto; Albert, Caledonia; Richard, Cyril, James, Stanley and Norman, Brantford; Mrs. A. Skelton, Simcoe, and Mrs. Bert Hubbard, Hamilton. The funeral will be conducted on Thursday afternoon under Masonic auspices from the home to mount Hope Cemetery. The late Mr. Humble was a member of Brant Lodge, A.F. and A.M.
