BEING PAST SERVICE AGE FOR WW 2, HE WAS NAMED AS MANAGER OF CAMP BARKELEY POST EXCHANGE. AT THE END OF WW2 HE RETURNED TO LONE STAR BUICK ON 141 SYCAMORE ST. IN ABILENE.

HE MARRIED CULA ANN BOYD ON AUGUST 20, 1917 IN ABILENE, TEXAS. THE COUPLE HAD NO CHILDREN. HE TOLD EVERY ONE THAT GROWING UP IN A LARGE FAMILY OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS CAUSED HIM TO HAVE NO DESIRE TO BE AROUND ANYMORE CHILDREN. MY UNCLE MADE FEW CONTACTS WITH ANY MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY. Cecil was the 6th son in a family of 11 brothers and sisters. His father was a pioneer OF ABILENE, JOHN WAITE HUMPHREY, SR AND MOTHER NANCY EMMALINE MATLOCK HUMPHREY.

THE JOB OF BALLOON UNITS IN WW1 WAS AS FOLLOWS: During the day, snipers and artillery observers in balloons made movement perilous, so the trenches were mostly quiet.
