Lucius Hubbell was born on April 20th, 1807, in Huntington, Connecticut, son of Isaac Hubbell (1782-1835) and Sarah (Sally) Hawkins (1781-1872). He attended the district school in his boyhood, and when old enough learned the trade of a stone-mason, a calling in which he had no superior in Connecticut.
During his active life, he assisted to erect the following buildings, many of which he built by contract: State Prison, in Wethersfield, Connecticut, in 1827; Episcopal Church in Stratford, Connecticut, in 1828; his own family residence in Huntingdon Connecticut, in the White Hills; [much more]
Lucius was married to Emily Deming of Wethersfield, Connecticut on March 28th, 1829. She was born April 6th, 1804. They had 4 children:
(1) Cornelia, b Jan. 20th, 1831
(2) Marcus Owen, b. July 11th, 1833.
(3) Theodore, b. Feb. 22d, 1841.
(4) Theodosia, b. Feb. 22d, 1841.
Mr. Hubbell erected, without assistance, an imposing monument in the yard of the "Little White Church," on the White Hills. This monument is forty-three feet in height, and as a work of art is unsurpassed in the town of Huntington. It can be seen for miles and is often mistaken for the spire of the church. When it is considered that for eight years this accomplished artisan labored during his leisure hours to complete this monument and carved and placed in position every stone with his own hands, some idea of his great industry may be formed.

Inscription
In Memory of
LUCIUS HUBBELL,
Who became a distinguished stone-mason,
As this monument will attest.
Erected with his own hands and finished
in the fifieth year of his age.
Died Dec. 28, 1874, AE 68
In hope and faith we trust he died,
This tomb cannot his spirit hide.
A brighter column in the skies,
We trust will to his memory rise.
