Dr Humm was a dental surgeon
who lived on Abbott Road in
pre-Independent India. He died
at his residence on Shahnajaf Road.
This blogger attended the funeral as
a pall-bearer along with other students
 of La Martiniere College at the request of
Mr AC Grice, MLA. There was a brief
delay in the burial because, we
were told, Dr Humm being a
Freemason time was given in case
the masons wanted to participate
in the graveside rituals. It went
ahead as a normal Christian
funeral when no one turned up.

show any result, till I searched

From Fibis.org.: The few Bischoffs found in
these records appear to have been related. 
Joyce Violetta Bischoff Lahore 1928 Nov 26
the dearly beloved daughter of Dr and Mrs Bischoff
at the Albert and Victoria Hospital (death?)
Could 'A loving sister' above inscription
refer to Joyce Violetta? Why would both
daughters have the name Violetta, or was
Joyce the daughter of Dr Charles L. Bischoff,
son of Dr Louis J Bischoff who died at Lansdowne
on July 28th 1919?
Dr Louis J Bischoff was dental surgeon
at Lucknow.
Charles married Eda Marie Paar Stockman, youngest
daughter of Mr and Mrs Ph Paar (?) of Darjeeling
at Calcutta on Feb 3rd 1920.
The name Stockman appears in some Lucknow
records
