		A century ago, Horace Buckingham Humphrey and his wife, Julia Wells Humphrey, announced to the world the birth of a daughter destined to become a new kind of artist in the country where her ancestors had lived for generations.
		By the time Doris Humphrey was five, her father, a newspaperman, and her mother, a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music, had been reduced to earning a living by working as manager and housekeeper, respectively, of a seedy theatrical hotel.
		Humphrey's creative life was enriched by her marriage to Charles Francis Woodford, an English merchant seaman, in 1932 and by the birth of her son, Charles Humphrey, the next year.
