HUBBARD. One of the old and prominent families of Wabash county is represented by the above names. The Hubbards have lived in Indiana, since the early twenties, and in 1856 their home was established in Wabash county. They were here early enough to assume some of the labors and responsibilities of pioneer existence, and for more than half a century their activities and influence have been among the forces molding and developing the community. Samuel Hubbard was the founder of the family in Wabash county in April, 1856, coming from Fayette county in this state. Like many other of the early settlers in this section, he was born in North Carolina in Guilford county, in 1798, and he was ten years old when his parents moved to Warren county, Ohio, and eighteen months later to Fayette county, Indiana, whence after about two years they went to other counties, and Samuel Hubbard in 1821 at Brookville, Montgomery County, Ohio, married Nancy Gladwell. Two years later, in 1823, Mr. Hubbard located near Evanston (then West Union) in Fayette county, Indiana. Fayette county was then just being filled up by pioneer settlers, and Samuel Hubbard had ample opportunity to select land about as he chose, and having found a suitable tract he built for his family a double log house, and began improving and farming. He and his wife experienced all the sufferings and privations incident to pioneer days. Nancy Hubbard died on that homestead in September, 1848. To their union were born eleven children. Only three are now living, the two sons being William T. and Charles J. both of Wabash county, while the daughter, Nancy J., the wife of Henry Brolyer, lives at Axtell, Marshall county, Kansas. In May, 1850, Samuel Hubbard married Elizabeth Ann Green, and in April, 1856, moved to Wabash county, locating on land in section thirty, town twenty-eight (Noble township), range six. In that locality he spent the remainder of his days engaged in general farming and stock raising. To his second marriage nine children were born, four of whom are now living, namely: Benjamin F. of Noble township; Melvin and Alvin. twins, the former living in Kokomo, Alvin died in January, 1914; Marcellus C., a farmer of Paw Paw township; and Amanda, who lives in Noble township, the wife of William V. Martindale. Samuel Hubbard was a man of but limited scholastic training. That deficiency he overcame in a measure, in later years by reading and observation. For a man brought up to manual labor he was an unusually good penman. As a member of the Bachelor Creek Christian Church he was active in its support and maintenance, as long as he lived. Perhaps his chief characteristic was his rugged honesty and his unselfish generosity. No traveler ever came to his door hungry or in need of a bed, but his wants were speedily satisfied. As a neighbor his aid was ever ready for those in need of assistance, and his was a character that unfortunately is of a past generation. He died June 30, 1876, and his wife in September, 1875. Benjamin F. Hubbard the oldest son of the second marriage of Samuel Hubbard was born in Fayette county. Indiana, May 6, 1851. When five years old he was brought to Wabash county by his parents, was reared on a farm, had his education like other boys of the time in the district schools, and had only passed his twenty-first birthday a few months, when on August 8, 1872, he married Naoma F. Ford. Under the necessity of providing a home for two, and coming children, he started farming on his own responsibility, and that was the occupation which absorbed his energy and time until 1904. In that year occurred his withdrawal from the more active cares of life, though he is still a vigorous man, and when occasion requires can work as hard as in younger years. In 1908 his services were drawn into recognition for the benefit of the public welfare, when he was elected trustee of Noble township, a position which he has occupied to the present time. Benjamin F. Hubbard is a democrat and is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias. He and his wife are the parents of four children: John G., who died when nearing his thirty-eighth birthday; Guy L., who married Leonora Critchelow, and is a farmer in Wabash county; Zella, wife of Leroy C. Lynn of Wabash; and Samuel F., who died when about twenty-three years of age.
