THREE OLD SETTLERS GONE GRIM REAPER TAKES HIS TOLL
Henry W. Hubbard was born near Joliet, Kendall County, Illinois, on June 6, 1840, where he grew to manhood.
His mother died when he was twelve years of age. He remained with his father until 1863 when in answer to his country's call to service, he enlisted in the 8th Illinois Cavalry Co., K., where he served until the close of the war. He was honorably discharged at Washington, D.C. in 1865. His father died soon after his enlistment in the army.
He re-entered the service of the government and assisted in the original survey of eastern Kansas. He later returned to Illinois and prepared to take a homestead which he located in Saline county, Nebraska. He was married to Mary Etta Morris in 1874 and to this union eight children were born, all of whom are still living save one who passed away in infancy.
In 1884 he moved with his family to Clay County, Nebraska, where he resided on a farm near Fairfield until 1892, when he removed to Webster county and engaged in farming until 1906 when he retired from active work on the farm and came to the village of Guide Rock where he spent the remaining years of his life.
He was a member of the friends church and in his declining years his greatest comfort seemed to be found in a deep and quiet devotion which was evidenced by the many hours that he spent in studying the Bible and in prayer and meditation.
His life was one of devotion to, and sacrifice for, his family; no husband was ever more devoted to his companion than he, and no father was more self sacrificing for the interests of his children.
He leaves to mourn his departure a widow and seven children, all grown to maturity and settled in life. The sons are, Orris, of Dresden, Kansas, Ross of Elliott, Iowa, Clarence of Guide Rock and Ralph of Rago, Colorado. The daughters are Mrs. Viola Greenhalgh and Mrs. Coral Greenhalgh of Guide Rock, and Mrs. Thurza Ely of Angora, Nebraska. In addition to these there are twenty grandchildren besides a large company of sympathizing friends who share in the loss of a good man from their midst.
In the death of Mr. Hubbard the last member of a large family has passed away. His decease occurred April 27th at the age of 75 years, 10 months and 21 days. After many weeks of great suffering, which was borne with fortitude and resignation under the ministry of kind hearts and loving hands he quietly lay down and went to sleep to wake no more on earth, but with the blest assurance that he rests from his labors and his sufferings are at an end.
The funeral service was held at the Methodist church Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and interment was in the Guide Rock cemetery. Reverend Alexander conducted the funeral service.
