Title

The Transfer (1935) - Ann Elmira Humes for Community Library and Museum

Subject

Miles-Potter-Humes House

Description

Ann Elmira Humes’ original will (dated Oct. 13, 1920) and five codicil’s (dated from 1925 – 1932) [typewritten copied version consisted of 19 pages] were generous to those living with her, her relatives, her friends, and many organizations. In Article 7 of her will, she bequeathed The Miles-Potter-Humes house to the Borough of Bellefonte and the community for use as a public library. As of June 25, 1936 there were still no definite plans for a library presented. In March 1938 by court ruling, the Library and Historical Corporation obtained the deed to the Miles-Potter-Humes house for the purpose of a public library and historical museum. The library and museum opened in the main house on Oct. 25, 1939. The name of the organization changed to the Centre County Library & Historical Museum in 1956. Ann Elmira Humes died on Feb. 2, 1935.
