George Bland Humble (22 December, 1839 – 23 October, 1930).
Life
[edit]Humble was born in Richmond in Yorkshire to farmer Thomas and Jane. Humble's middle name was his mother's name before she married. A strong Wesleyan interest is indicated by his education. He first attended a Wesleyan School in Richmond and then the Wesleyan Normal Institute in London where he briefly taught after completing his education there. Humber was then given the position of headmaster at the Wesleyan School in Marylebone.
Humble sailed on 25 August 1861 for Australia where he had been offered another position as headmaster. After nearly a year he arrived at Fremantle where he led the unpretentious school in Greenough, on the coast of Western Australia. His next headship was much further south on the coast for the Fremantle Boys School.
Humble died in Fremantle in 1930.
