Niagara County News 09 June 1882
OBITUARY. The usual quiet of last Sabbath morning was broken by the intelligence that spread from month to mouth that Mr. Samuel Chubbuck had passed from earth. Although growing more feeble from day to day during the past few months, and with the expectation that his end was drawing near, it seemed sudden nevertheless. The immediate cause of his demise was a severe cold contracted three or four days previous, this prevented his being out much, and on Wednesday he took his room for the last time, lingering until Sunday morning at half past seven when he expired without a struggle. He fell into a quiet, peaceful sleep from which he did not awaken.
For over fifty years the deceased has been well known by people far and near. He was born at Bennington, Vt., on the 18th day of September, 1794, being at the time of his death nearly 88 years of ago. At the age often, he, with his parents came to New York State, settling in Oneida County. At an early ago he learned the carpenters trade at Clinton, NY.
In 1816 he came to Lewiston where he remained nearly 13 years and in 1829 removed to Youngstown where he has since resided. For many years Mr. Chubbuck conducted the ferry at this place. When first appointed, Mr. Thomas Balmer was appointed with him and together they ran a horse ferry boat between here and Niagara. The deceased also built several large horse boats. About the year 1840 he was placed in charge of the carpenter work at Fort Niagara at the time when the old wood and earth breastworks were built. The Presbyterian church in this place was also built by Mr. Chubbuck.
At tho age of 27 he joined the order of Free Masonry and at the time of his death was the oldest member of that order in the United States or Canada. He had attained the degree of Royal Arch Mason.
The deceased was one of the most rugged men of his time and passed through many a seige of exposure that would have broken down a common constitution.
Five children are left to mourn the departed, Mrs. Sarah Clark of this village, Mrs. Harriet Pitt of Stockton, Cal., Mrs. Ann Utter of Saginaw City Mich., Messrs Samuel and Charles Chubbuck of Allentown, Pa.
The funeral was observed at one o'clock Tuesday from the residence of his son-in law, Mr. W. D. Clark where he has resided for tho past few years. Rev. John Reid, of the Presbyterian Church, officiated. The remains were interred in the family lot at Oakland cemetery.
