In the thriving little city that now represents his home Mr. Huebsch was born on the 5th of April, 1871, a son of George and Sarah (Snyder) Huebsch, both of whom were born in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany, and both of whom were numbered among the sterling German contingent of pioneer settlers in Clayton county, Iowa, where they continued to reside until their death, with secure place in the esteem of all who knew them. George Huebsch was reared and educated in his Fatherland and was a youth at the time of his immigration to America. He remained for a time at Galena, Illinois, and from that place came to Iowa and established his home at McGregor about the year 1858. He was one of the pioneer merchants of this place, where he conducted a grocery store for a number of years, but later he resumed the work of his trade, that of stone mason. He was called from the stage of life's mortal endeavors on the 25th of December, 1897, his devoted wife, who had been a true helpmate, having passed to eternal rest in September, 1895. Of their children, the eldest is Lena, who is the wife of William T. Minney, of McGregor; George died in childhood; Frances is the wife of Frederick Wehler, of Algona, Kossuth county; John, who is a painter by trade and vocation, resides at McGregor; Anton, of this review, was the next in order of birth; William maintains his residence at Mobridge, South Dakota; Margaret died in infancy; and Frank is employed as a bookkeeper at McGregor. Owing to the exigencies of time and place, the early educational discipline of the present postmaster of McGregor was of limited order, but his alert mentality has enabled him in later years to profit most fully from the valuable lessons ever to be gained in the school of practical experience, so that he has nullified the seeming handicap of his youth. He attended school in his native town until he had attained to the age of twelve years, when he initiated his career as one of the world's productive workers and began to provide for his own livelihood. He worked in a local brickyard for two seasons, and at the age of fifteen years he entered upon a practical apprenticeship in the printing establishment of A. F. Hofer & Sons, publishers of a newspaper at McGregor. With this firm he remained three and one-half years, and the incidental discipline, as has consistently been maintained in such connection, proved virtually the equivalent of a liberal education. At the age of nineteen years Mr. Huebsch initiated his career as a full-fledged journeyman printer. He went to the city of Denver, Colorado, where he found employment at his trade and where he remained two years. He then returned to McGregor, where for the ensuing six years he held the position of foreman in the printing and newspaper office of J. F. Widman. In June, 1896, Mr. Huebsch purchased the plant and business of the North Iowa Times from O. G. Wall, and of this paper he continued editor and publisher until 1906, when he sold the plant and business at McGregor and went to North Dakota, where he entered claim to a tract of land and instituted the development of the same. Two years later, in 1908, he resumed his residence in his native town, where he effected the repurchase of the North Iowa Times, of which he has since continued editor and publisher and which he has made a most effective exponent of local interests and a potent director of popular sentiment. He has served as postmaster of McGregor since 1913 and both through personal activity and through the medium of his newspaper he has given yeoman service in the furtherance of the cause of the Democratic party. On the 27th of June, 1900, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Huebsch to Miss Katherine Geske, who likewise was born and reared at McGregor, and they have three children - Dorothy, Frederick, and Mary Ann. Mr. Huebsch is a progressive and public-spirited citizen who has had much influence in public affairs in his native county. (History of Clayton County, Iowa:...edited by Realto E. Price.
