CAPT. H. S. LUBBOCK CALLED BY DEATH
Dead Man Was California Pioneer,
Confederate General and Master Mariner
ALAMEDA, Dec. 8. — Captain Henry S. Lubbock, father of City Treasurer Oswald Lubbock, a pioneer of California, and brigadier general in the Confederate army, died this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Adele Arnold, 2141 San Antonio Avenue, aged 87 years. He was ill two months.
Lubbock was born in Charleston, S. C. He came to California in 1850 by way of the Isthmus of Panama. At the commencement of the Civil War, Lubbock returned to the South and enlisted in the Confederate army. He served on the staff of General Magruder and was in command of the Confederate gunboat Bayou City, which attacked and captured the Union gunboat Harriet Lane in Galveston harbor. Frank R. Lubbock, a brother of Henry S. Lubbock, was the Confederate war governor of Texas and was an aid to Jefferson Davis. He was captured with the president of the confederacy and was for a time in Fortress Monroe under sentence of death. Another brother, Thomas Lubbock, was the head of the Texas rangers and was killed in a battle with the Union forces in Tennessee.
Henry S. Lubbock was a personal friend of General Grant, and when his brother, the governor of Texas, was a prisoner in Fortress Monroe he besought the head of the Union armies to assist him in obtaining a pardon for his relative.
Captain Lubbock lived in Alameda for 29 years. For five years he served as an inspector of hulls and boilers in San Francisco, receiving his appointment from President Cleveland. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and his funeral will be conducted under the auspices of that order in Masonic temple Thursday afternoon.

From "The Bay of San Francisco," Vol. 2, 1892:
CAPTAIN H. S. LUBBOCK, Supervising Inspector of Steam Vessels, San Francisco, and one of the oldest and most experienced engineers on the Pacific coast, is a native of South Carolina, born in the city of Charleston. His parents were Henry W. and Susan B. Lubbock. Captain Lubbock attended school in his native state, and went to New York and served an apprenticeship at the machinist trade in the machine shops of T. F. Secor, which were afterward merged into the Morgan Iron Works. After acquiring his trade, he was appointed dock engineer in his native city for the Brooks & Barden line of steamers between Charleston and Savannah.
Upon the breaking out of the gold excitement in California, he sailed on the ship Prometheus to Chagres, thence by canoes pulled by natives to Gorgona, and thence by mules to Panama in a party of nine. One of them was taken with small-pox, and Captain Lubbock would not leave him; so he remained behind and took care of him, and came upon the ship Union, Captain Marks, on her first trip, reaching here in February 1851. Captain Lubbock came out here for the special purpose of putting up the iron steamer American Eagle, which was built by I. P. Morris & Company of Philadelphia, and was brought here in sections by the ship George Brown, Captain Higgins. The American Eagle was put together here and ran on the Stockton route. Captain Lubbock was engineer, and his brother, William M., was captain. After running her two years, she was sold to the Stockton Combination Company, and then Captain Lubbock went home to bring out the Bay City, which steamer, on her way here, was disabled and put in at port of Rio Janeiro, and was sold. Captain Lubbock remained here and took charge of the steamer Sophia for the California Steam Navigation Company, on the San Jose route, and continued until 1859, and then he went East and remained until 1868, when he returned and engaged in farming at San Jose until 1871. Then he went in the mountains of Nevada and Utah and took charge of the Flora Springs Water Works of Nevada. In 1876 he went to Utah and remained there until 1884, when he returned to San Francisco and was appointed the harbor Commissioners Superintendent of dock repairs, and while in that position he was urged to accept the appointment to his present position. In July 1887, he was appointed Supervising Inspector of Steam Vessels, and since then has filled this important office with signal ability.
He has been a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity since 1851, when he joined Manhattan Lodge, No. 106, New York City, and is a Knight Templar.
Captain Lubbock married Mrs. Mary J. Haughout of New York City and they have had four children, two of whom survive: Oswald and Mrs. George (Note: Adele) Arnold, both living here.
Henry married Mary G. Warner (1819-1893) of New York.
Children:
Adele Lubbock Arnold (d. after 1892)
James Curry Lubbock (1846–1887)
Warner Lubbock (1848-1861)
Oswald Lubbock (d. after 1892)
