“William C. Huber, 62, chairman of the board of Huber & Huber Motor Express died yesterday (March 20, 1958) at Hollywood, FL, where he was vacationing.
Huber had lived at La Grange, IL, for the past 10 years, organized the trucking firm here in 1929 with two brothers. They built the firm from a one–truck enterprise to the largest trucking firm in Kentucky with 900 trucks. The firm now employs 500 persons in Louisville and has branches in Chicago, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Lexington, Frankfort and Knoxville. In recent years, Huber managed the business in Chicago.
Before he came to Louisville, Huber and a brother operated a large flour mill at Palmyra, IN. The mill burned and the brothers formed the trucking company, first hauling bread between Louisville and Evansville for a baking company.
Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Mary Huber; two sons, Harold and William C. Huber, Jr.; two daughters, Mrs. Frieda Bremer and Mrs. Virginia Wethered; four brothers, Louis and Edward Huber of Knoxville, Joseph Huber and Carl Huber, Starlight, IN, and three sisters, Mrs. Cecilia Book, Starlight, Mrs. Agnes Gettelfinger, Knoxville, and Miss Rosalina Huber, New Albany.
The funeral will be at 10 a.m. Monday at La Grange. The body is at Holloway & James Funeral Home there.”
