June 10, 1890 - "Dr. Abel Humphrey, formerly of Tioga, died at Center Hill, Florida, on the 1st nstant. He suffered from an attack of the grip, which developed into dropsy and terminated fatally in disease of the heart. We believe Dr. Humphrey was born seventy-five years ago last January in Chonango county, N.Y. He came to Tioga in 1840 and taught school there. He then studied medicine and for many years practiced his profession very successfully in that part of the county. He was a strong abolitionist, was active in organizing the Republican party and was zealous and efficient in advocating his principles on the stump. At one time he was Associate Judge of the county, and during the war and afterward he held the office of Special Ma? Agent under the Post-office Department. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Congress against Hon. G.A. Grow in 1862. He went to Florida about ten years ago, and practiced medicine there until his death. Dr. Humphrey was a man of more than ordinary ability, well informed, quick witted, impulsive and very decided in the support of his own convictions. He was warm hearted, and his sympathetic nature greatly endeared him to many friends who will regret to learn of his death.".

From History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, with Illustrations, Portraits, & Sketches of Prominent Families and Individuals (1883), (New York: W. W. Munsell & Co., Press of George MacNamara):
"Roseville is situated nearly in the center of the township, on Mill Creek, a tributary of the Tioga River, and contains two hotels, two churches (Methodist Episcopal and Baptist), two stores, two blacksmith shops, a carriage shop, a graded school building, a steam and water power grist-mill and saw-mill and about fifty dwellings.
The first settler at Roseville was William Rose, (Correction from JMT - The first settlers were William Rose and his wife, Didamia Roberts) who located at the point where at present stands the store of C. B. Hanyen. Mr. Rose was a native of Rutland county, Vt., and settled in Rutland in 1806. His children were: Erastus, Levi, Elmer, William jr., Orinda (deceased, wife of Josephus Clark), Lovisa deceased, wife of Peter Backer) and Celestia (wife of Dr. Abel Humphrey, of Tioga). When Mr. Rose settled in Roseville the townships of Rutland, Jackson and Sullivan, and the country east to Troy and Elmira were almost an unbroken wilderness. His eldest son, Erastus, was born in Bennington, Vt., December 22nd 1802, and accompanied his parents to this township. He subsequently became a prominent citizen of Roseville, and among other official positions he held that of justice of the peace twenty years. He died November 3d 1875. He had continuously resided in Rutland or Roseville sixty-nine years. He had literally grown up with the country, and witnessed its transformation from a wilderness to a land of plenty. Such has been the history of many of the citizens of Roseville and Rutland. No other generation of men and women in this section of the country will see such a change as has been wrought since the commencement of the 19th century."
