History of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania In Two Volumes, including a genealogical and biographical record of many families and persons in the county; edited by Adolf W. Schalck and D. C. Henning, State Historical Association, 1907, Volume II, Page 229:

"Hubler, George W., head of the shoe manufacturing firm in Adamsdale, was born at Pine Grove, this county, Feb. 18, 1868. He is a son of Peter and Fietta (Wagner) Hubler."

"The subject of this sketch received a common school education in the schools of Landingville and Orwigsburg and at the age of thirteen started in to learn the business of making shoes, in the factory of A. E. Brown & Co. at Orwigsburg. He started in as a finisher and worked up through the various departments until he had completely mastered the industry, and in 1891 became associated with Mr. George Adams, of Adamsdale, in the same business, as general manager. This relationship was continued until January, 1901, when Mr. Adams' death caused a reorganization of the concern, which was then incorporated into a stock company with Mr. Hubler as president and general manager; F. P. Adams as vice-president; and J. H. Adams as secretary and treasurer and assistant general manager. The business is on a paying basis and the output increases from year to year. On March 25, 1894, Mr. Hubler married Miss Carrie L. Beck, daughter of John C. and Emma C. (Becker) Beck, of Orwigsburg. To this union has been born one son, George Harold, now ten years of age. The family are all members of St. Paul's Lutheran church of Orwigsburg. and Mr. Hubler is one of the deacons. In politics he is a stanch believer in the principles of Jeffersonian Democracy, but has never held nor aspired to public office. Fraternally he is associated with the Orwigsburg Lodge, No. 157, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and Camp No. 86, Patriotic Order of Sons of America."
