ALEXANDER POPE HUMPHREY was born in Louisville, Kentucky, January 26,
1848.  His father was the eminent Presbyterian minister, Rev. Edward P.
Humphrey, D.D., LL.D.; his mother was of the well known Pope family of
Louisville.  He was educated at Center College, Danville, Kentucky and
was graduated in law at the University of Virginia.  Inheriting strong
mental endowments and enjoying the best advantages in his early training,
he so improved both that it may be said of him, what can be said of few
persons, he made the best use of the best opportunities.
     Coming to the bar immediately after his graduation, he at once
made the impression of an earnest, industrious young practitioner with
unusual capability, learning and mental training.  It was evident he
was destined to excel in the highest walks of his profession.  His
career has made good this earlier promise.  He soon became a member of
the leading firm of Barr, Goodloe & Humphrey, and was engaged in the
conduct of much responsible and important litigation, in which his ability
was thoroughly demonstrated.  Being appointed to the office of chancellor
of the Louisville chancery court, to fill the unexpired term of Judge
H. W. Bruce, resigned, he made the reputation of one of the best judges
who ever held that position, and this notwithstanding he was only
thirty-two years of age, and that bench had been filled by men of the
highest ability, including Chancellors Logan and Pirtle.
     Upon his retirement from the bench he became a member of the
well-known law firm of Brown, Humphrey & Davie, and since the death of
Colonel John Mason Brown, of that firm, he has continued to practice
with George M. Davie.  Very much of the most important litigation of
the Louisville bar, and indeed of the state of Kentucky is intrusted
to this firm.  As lawyers and as citizens both Judge Humphrey and Mr.
Davie enjoy the highest confidence and esteem.
     Judge Humphrey married Miss Mary Moss Churchill, daughter of
Alexander Pope Churchill, of Louisville, and they have four children
living.
