Humphries was born in [[Shreveport]] in Caddo Parish in northwestern Louisiana. He was the second child and oldest boy of six children born to Guy E. Humphries, Sr., originally from El Dorado, [[Arkansas]], and the former Hattie A. Sheppard of Pelahatchie in Rankin County, [[Mississippi]]. His parents had previously lived near Delhi in Richland Parish in northeastern Louisiana. The family moved to the Bayou Rigollette (pronounced ROW GULLEY) community in Rapides Parish so that the senior Humphries could procure treatment at the Alexandria Veterans Administration Hospital for tuberculosis, which he probably contracted during [[World War I]]. After his father's death, Humphries and his siblings helped their mother in the operation of the family farm.<ref name=obit>Obituary of Guy E.
