B. Humphrey and Martha Jones House, West Worthington

Houses and Barns

The home of B. Humphrey (b. July 5th, 1836, Brockton) and Martha Jones (b. March 30th, 1847, Worthington). The pair married on November 22nd, 1883 and they lived in Boston for an unknown period of time. Martha taught school for 17 years. As of 1905 Harold White (b. December 3rd, 1892) lived with them. The Humphrey's acquired the home from Martha's father, who built the house. He acquired the land from Luke Blair. According to Rev. Moody, near the house 'once stood a store which was built into the church.' Two young girls and one young boy (possibly Harold White?) are pictured. Featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), page 88, #8.

This house is located immediately north of the 'T' intersection of River Road and State Highway 143. Painted yellow (according to Google Maps Street View). Note the unusual wooden structures that are still visible today on either side of the front door extending upward to surround the single dormer on the second story.
